Corporate Controller

Hermeus is a venture-backed defense aviation company reclaiming the lost art of rapid iterative prototyping to build the fastest aircraft in the world today. By prioritizing relentless hardware iteration, we deliver high-speed systems at the pace of the modern battlefield. We work with the Department of War to provide the high-speed capabilities our nation and its allies need to maintain a durable, asymmetric advantage. We are seeking an experienced Corporate Controller to lead our accounting, compliance, and financial operations in a rapidly scaling defense technology startup. The ideal candidate has deep familiarity with FAR/DFARS, government contracting compliance, and cost accounting in both R&D and production environments. This individual will establish and refine the financial control framework that supports complex program lifecycles—from prototype development through low-rate initial production and full-rate manufacturing
