Software Engineer II

We're building aircraft that fly faster, further, and to space.

Hypersonix is an Australian aerospace engineering and advanced manufacturing company building hydrogen-powered scramjet aircraft. We work at the bleeding edge of hypersonic technology, delivering aircraft that fly faster, reach further, and open new pathways to space - and we're a small, highly capable team doing work that genuinely matters.

The Opportunity

As a Software Engineer II, you’ll be an integral part of our GNC, Avionics and Software team, contributing to the development and continuous improvement of both embedded and ground software for our hypersonic vehicles. You’ll work closely with cross-functional teams to develop hardware-in-the-loop simulations and integrate flight control algorithms with real-time avionics hardware.

This is a rare opportunity to get hands-on with cutting-edge hypersonic technology in a fast-paced, high-growth environment. If you’re driven by innovation, thrive on tackling complex problems, and want the autonomy to make a real impact, we’d love to hear from you.

What you’ll be doing

Responsibilities include:

• Contribute to the end-to-end development of real-time software for hypersonic vehicles.
• Support systems engineering activities, refining and validating software requirements.
• Conduct flight control computer testing and verification of test data.
• Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to design, integrate and test our hypersonic vehicles.
• Work under the direction of the Lead GNC, SW and Avionics Engineer and manage sub-contracted work as required.
• Maintain a safe and healthy work environment, taking all practicable steps to ensure your own safety and the safety of others, including your team, visitors, and contractors.
