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.

Responsibilities
- Own the creation and maintenance of components in the Altium library, including schematic symbols, PCB footprints, and 3D models, ensuring accuracy and consistency across all hardware designs
- Manage component data entry and lifecycle status in the ERP system, maintaining accurate and up-to-date records for all active, approved, and obsolete parts
- Define and validate alternate part equivalencies, ensuring that all approved substitutions meet form, fit, and function requirements
- Manage component lifecycle events including end-of-life notifications, last-time-buy decisions, and replacement part qualification to protect supply continuity
- Support component selection across the hardware team, helping identify parts that align with Neros' NDAA compliance requirements and USA sourcing commitments
- Collaborate with procurement and operations teams to resolve component availability issues and support supply chain continuity
- Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage a high volume of part requests and competing priorities without sacrificing accuracy
- 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.
