Board-Level Test & Hardware Design Engineer

Neros Technologies; Torrance (CA); On-site; USD 113,000 - 158,000; Full time

Job summary

Neros is a defense tech company rebuilding America’s drone industrial base. We design and manufacture unmanned systems and are hiring engineers to advance hardware test solutions from prototype through high-volume production.

As a Board-Focused Hardware Test & Design Engineer, you will own hardware architecture for manufacturing test of PCBA assemblies, collaborating with electrical, mechanical, and manufacturing teams to improve quality, ramp production, and enable scalable test systems.

Qualifications

• 5+ years in electrical hardware test or manufacturing test environments.
• Experience developing PCBA test strategies including ICT, bed-of-nails, flying probe, JTAG, functional test, programming, calibration and end-of-line validation.
• Strong understanding of circuit design, signal integrity, power distribution, analog/digital interfaces, and failure analysis techniques.
• Experience driving Design for Testability with test point strategy and manufacturing readiness reviews.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop board-level manufacturing test hardware and fixtures for PCBA validation and production testing.
• Partner with electrical, mechanical, and manufacturing engineering teams to influence product designs for testability (DFT) and ensure test access and coverage.
• Define board-level test strategies spanning ICT, functional test, programming, calibration, and metrology across development and production.
• Own hardware design for manufacturing test equipment including fixture electronics, interface boards, signal conditioning, switching, and measurement systems.
• Collaborate with contract manufacturers and internal production teams to deploy, qualify, and sustain test solutions at vendor sites and Neros headquarters.
• Analyze test coverage, yield, and failure trends to drive continuous improvements in test effectiveness and reliability.
