Mechanical Engineer

About the role

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.

Responsibilities

• Own all aspects of hardware design to optimize for performance, high-volume manufacturability, and cost
• Gather requirements and translate these into defensible engineering architectures and decisions
• Perform detailed design trades by effectively leveraging 3D modeling software, FEA tools, prototyping, and engineering first principles
• Participate in and lead design reviews
• Create high quality engineering drawings
• Root cause hardware failures and manufacturing issues
• Work with the Manufacturing and Supply Chain teams on build instructions, production tooling/fixtures, and vendor selection. Own these items yourself where necessary

• 1-5 years of experience in fast paced engineering/manufacturing environments (internships/co-ops/competitive project teams included)
• Strong engineering fundamentals and the ability to solve problems through first principles thinking
• Experience with a CAD software such as Solidworks or NX

Requirements

• Experience piloting, working with, or designing UAVs (including as a hobby!)
• Experience working in a high volume, cost sensitive industry like consumer electronics or automotive
• Broad knowledge of manufacturing processes and their appropriate applications
• Experience with packaging and integration of PCBAs, batteries, and RF components
• Familiarity with electrical and electromechanical components like BLDC motors and optical sensors
• Experience designing for harsh environments
• Subject matter experience in an analysis discipline: structural, vibration, thermal, CFD, etc.
• Experience with Teamcenter or similar PLM systems
• Hands-on fabrication skills (general shop tools, manual machining, welding, CNC machining, etc.)
• US Salary Range
• $100,000 - $160,000 USD
