Neros Technologies is a defense technology company designing and manufacturing high-performance unmanned systems (drones) tested in combat and built at scale. The company operates with a startup culture focused on speed, hands-on execution, and closing the gap between design and deployment.
As a Mechanical Engineer, you will own key components and subsystems across the full product lifecycle—from conceptual design through mass production. This is a foundational role on a rapidly growing mechanical engineering team, ideal for someone who takes pride in delivering best-in-class hardware.
Key Responsibilities:
- Own all aspects of hardware design, optimizing for performance, manufacturability, and cost
- Gather requirements and translate them into defensible engineering architectures
- Perform detailed design trades using 3D modeling, FEA tools, prototyping, and first-principles analysis
- Participate in and lead design reviews
- Create high-quality engineering drawings
- Root cause hardware failures and manufacturing issues
- Collaborate with Manufacturing and Supply Chain teams on build instructions, tooling, fixtures, and vendor selection
- Plan and execute validation testing in coordination with Flight Test and other engineering teams
Requirements:
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field
- 1–5 years of experience in fast-paced engineering/manufacturing environments (internships, co-ops, and competitive project teams count)
- Strong engineering fundamentals and first-principles problem-solving ability
- Proficiency with CAD software (Solidworks, NX, or equivalent)
Nice-to-Have:
- UAV design, piloting, or hands-on experience (including hobby projects)
- High-volume, cost-sensitive manufacturing background (consumer electronics, automotive)
- Broad manufacturing process knowledge
- PCB, battery, and RF component packaging/integration experience
- Familiarity with BLDC motors and optical sensors
- Design experience for harsh environments
- Structural, vibration, thermal, or CFD analysis expertise
- PLM systems experience (Teamcenter or similar)
- Hands-on fabrication skills (machining, welding, CNC, etc.)
