Product Manager - Autonomy

Hermeus is a high-speed aircraft manufacturer focused on the rapid design, build, and test of high-Mach and hypersonic aircraft for the national interest. Working directly with the Department of Defense, Hermeus delivers capabilities that will ensure that our nation, and our allies, maintain an asymmetric advantage over any and all potential adversaries. The Product Manager - Autonomy is responsible for defining, prioritizing, and shaping autonomy capabilities across aircraft, mission systems, ground control, and simulation environments. This role sits at the intersection of operational needs, program objectives, and system integration, translating mission intent into clear autonomy product capabilities that can be developed, tested, demonstrated, and evolved across programs and increments.  This position owns the autonomy product from a capability and outcome perspective, including capability decomposition, interface expectations, autonomy/VMS interaction intent, OMS/UCI alignment priorities, integration sequencing, and roadmap evolution. The role ensures autonomy development remains focused on delivering operational value and mission-relevant behavior across simulation, test, and flight.  The role partners closely with Product, Advanced Development, Autonomy Engineering, VMS, Flight Test, and external partners to ensure autonomy capabilities are coherent, demonstrable, and aligned with customer and program expectations.
