Life at Hypersonix

We’re Australia’s most ambitious aerospace company building hydrogen-powered scramjet engines and systems that reach Mach 5 and beyond. Our goals are real, the milestones are being ticked off, and we’re building a team of people to make it happen.

Careers

Working together

Deep tech, skilled engineering, real missions

Hypersonix is building the future of flight; going faster, further, and higher than ever before.

We're building technology that the world hasn’t seen before, and that demands bold thinking, creative problem-solving, and courage to push the boundaries of what's possible. We're not interested in maintaining the status quo – we’re here to push past it.

At Hypersonix, you'll work alongside people who believe hypersonic flight is not a distant possibility but an engineering reality being built right now. We're only as successful as the people that make our team, so we make sure you are trusted, supported, and given an environment to excel.

Grit - Push past possible

We’re building technology at the edge of what’s physically possible. The work is hard, inspiring, meaningful and first-of-its-kind. We dream big, treat failure as a step forward and ask what it would take, not why it can’t be done.

Ownership - Be the difference

We take on real problems and are trusted to solve them. We see room to improve, take the initiative and write the manual if there isn’t one. We own the outcome, not just the task, and shape the mission from concept to flight. Nobody here says "that’s not my job" – if we can see it, we can fix it.

Agility - Progress over perfect

We move fast, keep it simple and make progress with what we have, focusing effort where it creates the most value. We don’t wait for perfect conditions, and we don’t let convention, complexity, or uncertainty slow us down. It’s our superpower.

Teamwork - Back each other

We are all valued for our unique contribution and we show up for each other. We communicate openly, connect, learn and experiment, and feel safe to be wrong without blame as we grow together.
