Test Range & Flight Operations Lead

Hypersonica is building sovereign hypersonic capability in Europe and Canada. We move quickly, work directly with governments and end users, and take complex systems from blank sheet design through integration, test and flight at a pace that is unusual in traditional aerospace and defence. As we build Hypersonica Canada, we are looking for a Test Range & Flight Operations Lead to build and lead our Canadian test site and flight operations capability from the ground up. This is not a role where you inherit a mature range, an established operating model or a large support organisation. You will help define how Hypersonica prepares, integrates, tests and flies vehicles in Canada. You will own the operational environment around flight campaigns, work directly with Engineering and Programmes, and become one of the senior decision-makers responsible for whether a vehicle is ready to fly. You will be close to the hardware, close to the range and accountable for turning engineering intent into safe, disciplined and executable flight operations. For the right person, this is an opportunity to build something genuinely new: a sovereign Canadian flight-test capability capable of supporting some of the most demanding systems in aerospace and defence.
