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. What you will be doing As a Principal Electrical Engineer at Neros, you will serve as the senior technical authority for our production electronics, owning the hardware development lifecycle from system architecture through detailed design, layout oversight, and high-volume production release. You will define the technical direction of our hardware platform, establish the standard the team is held to, and partner across disciplines on the most complex technical challenges in the product. This is a role for an engineer who brings both the architectural depth to define complex systems and the hands-on experience to execute them at the highest level. Responsibilities Establish and enforce rigorous design practices including worst-case circuit analysis, component derating, and DFM/DFT/DFR to ensure hardware is reliable and producible at volume Serve as the final technical sign-off authority on all major design decisions, design reviews, V&V plans, and product releases Mentor and guide electrical engineers across all levels, building technical excellence and raising the standard of hardware practice within the team Work with stakeholders and management to define system requirements, validate technical feasibility, and shape the hardware roadmap Provide expert-level technical leadership on complex, multi-disciplinary problems across the organization Communicate architectural vision and design decisions through clear documentation, design reviews, and presentations to technical and executive audiences You should have the following 10+ years of distinguished experience in electrical hardware design, with deep expertise in high-speed digital design and embedded systems Demonstrated track record of taking products from concept through high-volume production, with hands-on ownership at each stage of the hardware development lifecycle Expert-level proficiency in schematic capture (Altium preferred) with a history of producing and reviewing complex, multi-domain designs Mastery of PCB layout principles for high-speed digital, power, and mixed-signal systems, with proven ability to guide layout to meet stringent SI/PI and EMC requirements Worst-case circuit analysis and design margin methodology practiced as a standard part of the design process Recognized expert in at least one relevant technical domain: power electronics, RF/wireless design, high-speed digital design, or embedded systems architecture Proven experience defining system architecture from requirements and executing through to production hardware Fluency with high-speed serial interfaces (PCIe, MIPI CSI-2, USB 3.x, LVDS, SerDes) and the signal integrity considerations that govern them Experience with DFM, DFT, and EMC/EMI as practiced disciplines with a record of shipping reliable hardware at volume Outstanding communication skills, with the ability to write precise technical documentation and present complex tradeoffs to both engineering teams and executive leadership Nice to have RF and wireless system design expertise, including antenna design, RF front-end architecture, link budget analysis, and regulatory compliance (FCC/CE) - this is a highly desirable capability given the nature of our products Experience with LoRa, FHSS, or similar
