Help Build Europe's Hypersonic Capability

At Hypersonica, we’re redefining what’s possible in European defence technology. We exist to deliver speed, resilience, and technological independence at a pace that sets a new standard. We are a small, elite team working on problems that matter, and solving them fast.

By joining Hypersonica, you’re not stepping into a predefined role. You’re joining a talent dense environment where every individual shapes the direction of the company. Our philosophy is to hire a small number of exceptional people with broad, deep technical capability, strong judgement, and the ability to operate autonomously.

We hire for talent, not rigid boxes. This role represents a business need, but the way it evolves will be shaped by the individual. If you’ve achieved what others said was impossible, or you bring a unique combination of skills that doesn’t fit a traditional mould, we want to hear from you. The work you do here directly contributes to Europe’s technological independence.

What You'll Do

  • Support the delivery of hypersonic vehicles through electrical Assembly, Integration, and Test (AIT) activities.
  • Develop electrical assembly, wiring, and integration procedures from engineering drawings, schematics, and CAD data.
  • Translate avionics and electrical system designs into clear build instructions for harnessing, equipment installation, and system interfaces.
  • Define electrical integration sequences across subsystem and full vehicle builds.
  • Identify required tools, test equipment, consumables, and inspection steps for electrical integration and verification.
  • Develop and maintain electrical build documentation, ensuring traceability and configuration control.
  • Support installation and integration of avionics, sensors, and electrical subsystems.
  • Set up and support data acquisition and basic test systems for subsystem and vehicle-level testing.
  • Collaborate across Mechanical, Systems, and Avionics teams to resolve integration challenges.
  • Support electrical integration testing and fault-finding activities.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

Only hits

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

Who You Are

  • A hands-on Electrical AIT Engineer with experience integrating electrical or avionics systems into complex hardware.
  • Degree in Electrical, Electronic, or Aerospace Engineering (or similar).
  • Strong ability to read schematics, wiring diagrams, and CAD models and translate them into practical build steps.
  • Experience with wiring, harnessing, avionics integration, or test setups.
  • Familiarity with DAQ systems, instrumentation, or embedded systems is advantageous.
  • Detail-oriented with a strong focus on quality and traceability.
  • Comfortable troubleshooting electrical integration and test issues.

What We Offer

  • A mission-driven environment with the opportunity to work on one of Europe’s most consequential defence challenges, with direct impact on sovereign capability and security.
  • Daily collaboration with top experts across engineering, operations, and defence, with real opportunity to learn from the best, contribute, and grow.
  • High ownership and autonomy; no time tracking, no micromanagement, just clear objectives and accountability for outcomes.
  • A fast-paced environment where good ideas are implemented quickly, and feedback from test and flight drives real decisions.
  • A culture that values clarity, integrity, and excellence, and supports people who take initiative and push boundaries responsibly.
  • Competitive compensation and real share options aligned to responsibility and impact, not tenure or hierarchy.
