El Segundo, CA Full Time
POSTED ON 12/27/2025

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.

  • Participate in design reviews to drive design for manufacturing (DFM)
  • Create, maintain, and communicate detailed production plans and schedules to relevant teams
  • Analyze and resolve manufacturing issues and non-conformances
  • Develop, mentor, and train peers and colleagues

You should have the following

  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field
  • 5 years of experience in fast paced engineering/manufacturing environments
  • Ability to solve engineering problems through first principles thinking
  • Experience with a CAD software such as Solidworks or NX
