About this role
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.
Make sure what arrives is worthy of flying
That means relying on suppliers to manufacture hardware that is complex, high consequence and often being produced for the first time.
We are looking for a Supplier Quality Engineer to own quality across our UK supply base and help turn capable suppliers into reliable aerospace production partners.
You will work directly with suppliers producing complex mechanical, structural, propulsion, electronic and specialist-process hardware, making sure the parts arriving at Hypersonica are not simply compliant with a drawing, but capable of performing the job they were designed to do.
This is not a desk-based supplier assurance role.
You will spend time with suppliers, understand how parts are actually being manufactured, identify risks before they become escapes and work alongside Engineering, Manufacturing and Supply Chain to solve problems at source.
Sometimes that means qualifying a new supplier.
Sometimes it means getting into the detail of a manufacturing process that is not stable.
Sometimes it means standing on a supplier’s shop floor with an NCR, understanding what actually happened and making sure the corrective action fixes the root cause rather than the paperwork.
