About the role
- 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.
- Actual salary may vary based on (but not limited to) work experience, education and/or training, critical skills, and/or business considerations.
Responsibilities
- Lead detailed electrical design on complex production systems, from schematic capture through layout oversight and design verification
- Perform schematic capture for assigned subsystems and actively guide PCB layout to meet signal integrity, power integrity, thermal, and EMC requirements
- Apply DFM, DFT, and DFR practices throughout the design lifecycle to ensure reliability and manufacturability at volume
- Participate in design reviews and contribute to technical sign-off on hardware designs, V&V plans, and product releases
- Mentor junior and mid-level engineers, sharing technical knowledge, and helping build strong design practices within the team
- Collaborate with firmware, mechanical, and systems teams to resolve cross-disciplinary design challenges
- Worst-case circuit analysis and component derating practiced as standard design methodology
- Clear communication skills, with the ability to document designs thoroughly and contribute meaningfully in cross-functional design reviews
Requirements
- 10+ years of experience in electrical hardware design, with expertise in mixed-signal design, high-speed digital design, and embedded systems
- Experience with DFM, DFT, and EMC/EMI disciplines with a record of shipping reliable hardware at volume
- Proficiency with high-speed serial interfaces (PCIe, MIPI CSI-2, USB 3.x, LVDS) and their associated signal integrity considerations
- Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or a related field
Nice to have
- Experience with LoRa, FHSS, or similar long-range wireless technologies
- Background in UAV, avionics, robotics, or other demanding applications where hardware reliability and operational environment are critical considerations
- Familiarity with multi-physics simulation tools (Ansys SIwave, HyperLynx, or similar) for signal integrity and power delivery network analysis
- Familiarity with MATLAB/Simulink for system-level modeling
- Master of Science in Electrical Engineering or a related field
- We're an equal opportunity employer.
- Strong proficiency in schematic capture (Altium preferred) with a history of producing accurate, well-documented, complex designs
Compensation
- $159,500 - $302,500 USD
Company info
- 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.
