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.
This role will ensure test infrastructure provides accurate, repeatable, and trusted results by driving improvements in test coverage, system robustness, uptime, and data quality.

Own validation, qualification, and continuous improvement of manufacturing test systems from NPI through production ramp
Analyze test data, failure trends, and system performance to identify root causes and drive corrective actions
Partner with engineering teams on DFT/DFM improvements to increase test effectiveness and reduce manufacturing risks
Proven experience developing, validating, and sustaining manufacturing test systems, including test hardware, software, fixtures, instrumentation, and data collection systems
Hands-on experience analyzing manufacturing test data, failure trends, and production metrics to drive quality and reliability improvements
Understanding of DFT (Design for Test), DFM (Design for Manufacturing), and how product design decisions impact manufacturing test effectiveness
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.
The Test Quality & Reliability Engineer will own the quality, reliability, and scalability of manufacturing test systems that enable Neros' production growth.
The engineer will partner closely with Test, Manufacturing, Quality, Hardware, Firmware, and Operations teams to prevent escapes and remove test as a production bottleneck.

7+ years of experience in manufacturing test engineering, quality engineering, reliability engineering, or a related field supporting complex products in production environments
Experience with structured problem-solving methods such as root cause analysis, FMEA, 8D, fault isolation, and corrective/preventive actions

Experience with high-volume manufacturing environments in aerospace, drones, automotive, consumer electronics, or other complex electromechanical products
Hands-on experience with statistical analysis tools, SPC, MSA (Measurement System Analysis), Gage R&R, and reliability data analysis
Familiarity with DFT/DFM principles, manufacturing data systems (MES), and test data analytics platforms
We're an equal opportunity employer.

Develop and maintain test quality processes including GR&R, test coverage analysis, limit validation, fault injection, loop test, and system health monitoring
Strong understanding of test quality fundamentals, including test coverage, false pass/fail analysis, measurement accuracy, calibration, and tester reliability
