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.
As our Programme Analyst, 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.
What you'll do
- Support live defence programmes with hands‑on analytical and operational work, contributing directly to delivery outcomes.
- Prepare high‑quality materials for customer meetings, internal reviews, and senior decision‑making.
- Analyse customer requirements, policy context, and programme constraints, turning them into clear, actionable inputs.
- Work closely with programme managers to support planning, tracking, and execution across fast‑moving projects.
- Engage with military, government, and security‑policy stakeholders, building early exposure to defence customers and acquisition environments.
- Support customer engagement by structuring arguments, preparing briefings, and helping shape convincing narratives.
- Operate as a high‑ownership generalist, picking up ambiguous tasks and driving them to completion without hand‑holding.
- Learn fast by being close to real programmes, real customers, and real consequences from day one.
Who you are
- A high‑potential graduate or early‑career professional with an exceptional academic record and strong internships or international experience.
- Curious about defence, security policy, and military affairs, with early exposure through study, research, or work.
- Analytically sharp, able to structure problems, synthesise information, and communicate clearly.
- Energised by pace, responsibility, and ambiguity, not looking for a slow or protected entry role.
- A natural self‑starter and hustler, who takes ownership rather than waiting for direction.
- Drawn to high‑performance environments such as consulting, finance, or fast‑scaling startups.
- Motivated by being part of a small, elite team where your contribution is visible and matters early.
What we offer
- A mission driven environment with the opportunity to work on one of Europe’s most consequential defence challenges, with direct impact on sovereign capability and security.
- Daily collaboration with top experts across engineering, operations, and defence, with real opportunity to learn from the best, contribute, and grow.
- High ownership and autonomy; no time tracking, no micromanagement, just clear objectives and accountability for outcomes.
- A fast paced environment where good ideas are implemented quickly, and feedback from test and flight drives real decisions.
- A culture that values clarity, integrity, and excellence, and supports people who take initiative and push boundaries responsibly.
- Competitive compensation and real share options aligned to responsibility and impact, not tenure or hierarchy.
Hypersonica is an equal‑opportunity employer and assesses candidates solely on merit, capability, and potential.
