Senior Electrical Engineer

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 a Senior Electrical Engineer at Neros, you will carry end-to-end technical ownership of electronics hardware across our full product portfolio. Your work spans circuit design, worst-case circuit analysis, and verification execution across digital, analog, RF, and mixed-signal subsystems. You will contribute directly to design decisions, build verification evidence from the ground up, and take hardware from requirements to production on systems that fly.

Responsibilities

• Execute worst-case circuit analysis across digital, analog, RF, and mixed-signal subsystems to validate design margin ahead of hardware builds
• Author electronics verification plans that establish traceability between requirements and specific test methods, acceptance criteria, and verification evidence
• Contribute to schematic capture across subsystems where your analysis and integration experience directly inform design decisions
• Lead hardware integration from board bring-up through production qualification, including hands-on troubleshooting at the circuit and system level
• Write and execute test procedures, document results, and maintain requirements traceability through verification close-out
• Coordinate EMI/EMC, thermal, shock/vibe, and environmental qualification activities with external test laboratories
• Participate in design reviews as a primary contributor on design margin, testability, and verification approach
• Support FMEA and derating analysis on safety-critical subsystems across the product portfolio

You should have the following

• Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering or a closely related field
• 5+ years of experience in electronics hardware design and verification, with demonstrated ownership of both design execution and verification close-out on production programs
• Strong fundamentals in circuit theory across analog, digital, and RF domains, with the ability to apply that depth to both design contribution and hands-on analysis work
• Hands-on experience executing WCCA across digital, analog, RF, and mixed-signal subsystem types
• Experience authoring and executing electronics verification plans from requirements through production test completion
• Proficiency in schematic capture and directing PCB layout (Altium preferred)
• Experience leading hardware integration and board bring-up, including circuit-level debug using bench instrumentation
• Expertise in DFT, DFM, and DFR
• Working proficiency in MATLAB, Python, or a comparable scripting language for data analysis, test automation, or results processing

Nice to have

• Familiarity with formal qualification standards such as MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-810, IEC, UL, or CE
• Background in aerospace, defense, or drone hardware development with production qualification experience
• Experience contributing to FMEA, derating analysis, or reliability prediction on safety-critical hardware
• Experience with SI/PI analysis tools
