Software Engineer Intern (HMI) - Fall 2025

Hermeus, an innovative aerospace and defense technology company, is revolutionizing air travel through the development of hypersonic aircraft. The company is currently seeking a Software Engineer Intern for their Ground & Communications Systems Software Team in Atlanta for Fall 2025. This exciting opportunity allows talented students to work on cutting-edge human-machine interaction (HMI) systems used in aircraft control and simulation.

The role involves hands-on experience in developing software for cockpit interfaces and working directly with flight crews to optimize usability. You'll be part of a cross-functional team, collaborating with engineers to create and maintain systems that control advanced aerospace hardware. The position offers comprehensive exposure to the complete software development lifecycle, from initial planning to final user evaluation.

This is an ideal opportunity for students passionate about aerospace and software engineering. The company's focus on hardware-rich, iterative development combined with modern computing and autonomy provides a unique learning environment. You'll be contributing to revolutionary projects like Quarterhorse and Darkhorse - an uncrewed hypersonic aircraft designed for military applications.

The internship offers competitive compensation ($22-$33/hour) and requires strong technical skills in web applications, particularly with JavaScript, TypeScript, and React. Knowledge of C/C++ and computer graphics is essential. The company values candidates with demonstrated interest in aerospace, whether through aviation clubs, pilot licensing, or simulation experience. This role is perfect for those looking to merge their software engineering skills with aerospace innovation while working on technology that will fundamentally change the future of air travel.
