Job description

Aerospace is at a turning point — costs are rising, supply chains are strained, and old ways of building can't keep up. At Neon Aero, we're breaking that mold. We move fast, think big, and combine start-up agility with aerospace expertise to design, build, and scale aircraft in ways the industry has never seen. Our team leverages automation, AI-driven tools, and a fully connected digital backbone to accelerate innovation and reduce barriers to production.

We are seeking an organized, proactive Administrative Assistant to support day-to-day operations at our aerospace startup onsite in Manchester, Connecticut.

• Support a workload that is varied, deadline-driven, and critical to smooth day-to-day business operations.

What You'll Bring

• High school diploma or equivalent required.
• Associate degree in business administration, communications, or a related field; equivalent professional experience may be considered in lieu of a degree.
• Minimum of 2 years of administrative, office coordination, executive support, or related experience in a professional environment.
• Experience managing calendars, coordinating meetings, preparing documents, and supporting multiple administrative priorities at once.
• Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and ability to follow through on tasks with accuracy and professionalism.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Proficiency with office productivity and collaboration tools such as Microsoft Office or Google Workspace.
• Ability to handle sensitive and confidential information with discretion.
• Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, evolving startup environment.
• Ability to sit for extended periods, work at a computer, use standard office equipment, and move throughout the office as needed.
• Must be legally authorized to work in the United States.
• May be required to work with sensitive business information or in environments subject to export control, ITAR, or internal confidentiality requirements, depending on assignment.

Preferred

• Experience supporting teams in aerospace, manufacturing, engineering, defense, or other technical environments.
• Experience with travel coordination, expense support, office management, or onboarding logistics.
• Experience supporting senior leaders or cross-functional teams in a growing company.

Why Join Us

• Work alongside elite engineering talent and innovators from across aerospace and tech.
• Be part of a team moving faster than the industry standard.
• Shape solutions that are lower-cost, autonomous, and scalable — the future of aviation.
• Competitive compensation, including equity participation, growth opportunities, and full health benefits (health, vision, dental, 401(k)) designed to support you in and out of work.
