Work Environment
Hypersonics engineers work in research facilities, laboratories, manufacturing plants (which can be loud and busy), and business offices. Some travel to the offices and research facilities of government agencies and contractors to meet with potential customers, members of design and development teams, and others. Most engineers work a standard 40-hour week, Monday through Friday, but some may be required to work at night and on weekends.
