Avionics AIT Manager

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

•
Define and maintain avionics wiring, harness, and pinout diagrams, ensuring correct electrical interfaces and configuration control.

•
Develop and own avionics assembly procedures for components, sub‑assemblies, and vehicle‑level integration.

•
Create and execute avionics test procedures, validating functionality, interfaces, and readiness prior to higher‑level integration.

•
Ensure avionics AIT activities meet quality, reliability, and safety standards, suitable for aerospace and defence environments.

•
Work closely with avionics design, systems, and vehicle AIT teams to resolve integration issues and close design‑for‑integration gaps.

•
Support production of consistent, repeatable avionics builds by enforcing process discipline and configuration control.

•
Own avionics‑related non‑conformance identification, documentation, and resolution, feeding lessons learned back into design and process updates.

•
Enable smooth progression from bench‑level avionics testing to vehicle‑level integration
