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 fast, hands-on culture focused on closing the gap between design and deployment.
The RF Test Technician role supports the setup, execution, and maintenance of RF test systems used in engineering qualification, production acceptance, and flight testing. This is a hands-on position ideal for someone strong in soldering, harnessing, lab work, and careful test execution who wants to develop expertise with RF measurement equipment in a fast-moving hardware environment.
Key responsibilities include:
- Building, modifying, and maintaining RF test setups, coax assemblies, RF switch harnesses, cables, fixtures, and supporting lab hardware
- Supporting qualification and acceptance test plan execution by preparing equipment, following procedures, collecting results, and escalating issues
- Performing soldering, rework, connector installation, harness assembly, labeling, and other hands-on lab tasks
- Preparing RF hardware and test equipment for flight tests and supporting setup, troubleshooting, and teardown in the field
- Operating or learning to operate basic RF measurement equipment such as spectrum analyzers, VNAs, signal generators, power meters, attenuators, RF switches, and test radios
- Keeping lab and production test areas organized, repeatable, and ready for fast execution
Requirements:
- 1+ year of hands-on technician, electronics lab, production test, RF lab, avionics, robotics, drone, automotive, or related hardware experience
- Strong soldering skills, including wire, connector, and small electronics rework
- Experience building cables, harnesses, coax assemblies, or electromechanical test fixtures
- Comfortable following test procedures, recording results, labeling hardware, and keeping work organized and repeatable
- Basic familiarity with electronics lab tools such as multimeters, oscilloscopes, power supplies, crimpers, heat shrink, and hand tools
- Familiarity with RF measurement equipment is preferred; ability and willingness to quickly learn spectrum analyzers, VNAs, signal generators, RF switches, and power meters is required
- Willingness to support flight tests, production test setups, and hands-on lab work as needed
- High attention to detail and strong ownership of build quality, cable routing, connector integrity, and test setup reliability
Nice to have: Prior RF lab, antenna lab, wireless test, drone company, aerospace, or production test environment experience; experience with SMA/MMCX/U.FL/N-type connectors, coax routing, RF shielding, attenuators, and RF switch matrices; field/flight test support experience; IPC soldering certification or J-STD-001 experience; basic Python, MATLAB, LabVIEW, or test automation exposure.
