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.

New grads with internship/hobby/work experience in these areas are highly encouraged to apply!

You should have the following

• 3+ years of industry experience in a fast paced startup or manufacturing environment
• Experience with full stack electrical product development including: requirements definition, schematic design, PCB layout/manufacturing, debugging, and production testing
• Strong knowledge of Altium Designer
• Embedded programming skills, specifically on STM platforms
• Automated testing experience
• SMT soldering / PCB mods
• Ability to obtain US top secret security clearance

Nice to haves

• Experience with analog video systems (CVBS / PAL / NTSC)
• Experience with digital video systems (e.g. MIPI-CSI)
• Experience with camera design
• Experience with BLDC motor drivers
• Experience with RF communication, DSP, or FPGAs
