About Neros Technologies
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.
What you will be doing
As a Board-Focused Hardware Test & Design Engineer at Neros, you will own the hardware architecture and implementation of manufacturing test solutions used to validate PCBAs and electronic assemblies from prototype builds through high-volume production. This role bridges product design, manufacturing, and test engineering by developing scalable, high-coverage board-level test systems that improve product quality, accelerate root-cause analysis, and enable efficient production ramping.
- Design and develop board-level manufacturing test hardware, including bed-of-nails and custom fixturing solutions for PCBA validation and production testing
- Partner with electrical, mechanical, and manufacturing engineering teams to influence product designs for testability (DFT), ensuring adequate test access, coverage, and fault isolation
- Define board-level test strategies spanning ICT, functional test, programming, calibration, and metrology systems across development and production stages
- Own hardware design for manufacturing test equipment, including fixture electronics, interface boards, signal conditioning, switching architectures, and measurement systems
- Collaborate with contract manufacturers and internal production teams to deploy, qualify, and sustain test solutions at vendor sites and Neros headquarters
- Analyze test coverage, yield performance, and failure trends to drive continuous improvements in test effectiveness, throughput, reliability, and overall manufacturing quality
