You will lead manufacturing readiness activities through DVT, PVT, and initial ramp while driving improvements in yield, quality, and throughput.

If you enjoy solving challenging technical problems and building scalable manufacturing systems, this role offers significant ownership and impact.

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.
