Neros Technologies
Who we are
Neros is a defense technology company rebuilding America's drone industrial base. We design and manufacture high-performance unmanned systems that are tested in combat, iterated at startup speed, and built at massive scale. Our team culture is fast, hands-on, and obsessed with closing the gap between design and deployment.
As drones transform the character of warfare, Neros is delivering the systems the West needs to compete on the modern battlefield and deter the adversaries of democracy. We're hiring engineers, operators, and builders who want to move fast, take on extreme ownership, and get capability into the hands of warfighters in months, not years.
What you will be doing
As an Electrical Engineer at Neros, you will be a key hands-on member of our engineering team, supporting the design, development, and testing of our innovative components and systems. This role is perfect for a recent graduate or early-career engineer who is eager to learn and grow. You will work directly with senior engineers, assisting in all phases of the product development lifecycle, from initial design and prototyping to final verification and validation.
Responsibilities Assist senior engineers in the
design of Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) , including schematic capture and component selection. Support the PCB layout process and participate in the
bring-up and functional testing
of new hardware. Build and test
prototypes and breadboard circuits
to validate design concepts. Perform hands-on lab work using standard equipment including but not limited to oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, power supplies, logic analyzers and network analyzers. Execute verification and validation (V&V) test plans , setting up tests and documenting results. Contribute to
root cause analysis
investigations under the guidance of senior team members. Utilize and develop skills in
ECAD software (Altium)
for schematic and layout tasks. You should have the following
Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering or a related field. Experience in a hardware or electrical engineering role (internship experience is a plus). Proficiency with standard lab equipment (e.g., oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies). Hands-on skills in
soldering and wiring
for prototypes and rework. Familiarity with at least one ECAD software package (e.g., Altium, Mentor, KiCad) is highly desirable. A strong desire to learn, a coachable attitude, and excellent problem-solving skills. Nice to have
Altium Experience with embedded systems, particularly with
STM microcontrollers
or other ARM Cortex-M based platforms. Academic or project experience with RF concepts, including wireless protocols like
LoRa. Familiarity with simulation software such as SPICE, or MATLAB. Experience writing scripts for test automation or data analysis in
Python . Knowledge of standard communication protocols like SPI, I2C, and UART. Exposure to circuits for handling
analog video (NTSC/PAL)
or
digital video (MIPI, HDMI) . Basic C/C++ programming skills for firmware loading and board-level testing.
US Salary Range
$80,000 - $200,000 USD
The salary range for this role is an estimate based on a wide range of compensation factors, inclusive of base salary only. Actual salary may vary based on (but not limited to) work experience, education and/or training, critical skills, and/or business considerations. Highly competitive equity grants are considered part of Neros' total compensation package.
We're an equal opportunity employer. We welcome all applicants without attention to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, veteran or disability status.
