Head of Quality & Build Reliability
Hermeus is a venture capital-backed aerospace and defense technology company. The business is focused on building high-speed products that sustainably deliver asymmetric advantage to the Department of Defense and allied partners. Utilizing an iterative development approach to aircraft, Hermeus’ high-Mach and hypersonic aircraft aim to deliver capabilities at a pace not seen in the U.S. since the 1950s.
We are seeking a hands-on, pragmatic, and technically astute Head of Quality & Build Reliability to lead the development and execution of quality assurance processes that ensure our aircraft and unmanned systems are built to Department of Defense standards, and positioned for successful FAA certification and field operation. This individual will be based full-time at our Atlanta, GA production facility and will lead a high-performing, lean team of quality professionals to enable rapid development, manufacturing, and delivery of complex aerospace systems.
This position owns the development and sustainment of a digital Quality Management System (QMS) and is responsible for maintaining compliance with AS9100, ISO9001, ISO27001, and relevant FAA regulations (e.g., Part 21, 23, 91, 135). The ideal candidate will partner closely with Manufacturing, Engineering, and Supply Chain to lead quality reviews, address production nonconformances, and embed quality into the design, build, and sustainment lifecycle.
This role plays a key part in enabling Design for Manufacturability (DFM), Design for Test (DFT), and Configuration Management, while also accelerating progress through the use of action-biased quality systems and the development of standard repair documentation and rework flows.
