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.

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  Own the electrical power system architecture for Hypersonica’s high-speed flight vehicles, ensuring generation, conversion, storage, distribution, protection, and monitoring functions operate as a coherent and resilient system.  Define, manage, and maintain power system requirements, ensuring full traceability from mission and vehicle-level needs through subsystem design, verification, and validation.  Develop power-system architectures and performance budgets covering voltage regulation, load management, efficiency, redundancy, thermal constraints, fault tolerance, and mission-critical availability.  Lead the integration of power generation, battery systems, power electronics, energy storage, distribution networks, protection devices, and control systems across vehicle and payload architectures.  Conduct electrical system analyses including load-flow, transient response, fault analysis,
