Senior Facilities Engineer

Senior Facilities EngineerTorrance, California, United StatesNeros 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 DoingAs a Senior Facilities Engineer at Neros, you will own the technical performance, reliability, and long-term development of the infrastructure supporting our manufacturing, engineering, laboratory, and office environments. You will be responsible for critical building and process systems including electrical distribution, HVAC and exhaust, compressed air, process gases, plumbing, cleanrooms, laboratories, and other utilities required to support manufacturing operations. You will work closely with Manufacturing and Engineering teams to evaluate new equipment requirements, understand infrastructure capacity, and develop solutions that allow the factory to scale. This role also owns long-term infrastructure planning, preventative maintenance strategy, facility system documentation, and the site Master Layout and as-built CAD. The ideal candidate is highly technical, field-oriented, and comfortable taking ownership of infrastructure problems from initial diagnosis through implementation.ResponsibilitiesInfrastructure & Technical OwnershipOwn the technical performance and reliability of critical facility systems including electrical distribution, switchgear, transformers, panels, HVAC, exhaust, compressed air, process gases, plumbing, cleanrooms, laboratories, and building utilitiesEvaluate facility system capacity, reliability, maintainability, and operational risk;
