Electrical Engineer III

Electrical Engineer IIITorrance, 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 Electrical Engineer III at Neros, you will carry end-to-end technical ownership of electronics hardware across our full product portfolio. Your work spans circuit design, worst-case circuit analysis, and verification execution across digital, analog, RF, and mixed-signal subsystems. You will contribute directly to design decisions, build verification evidence from the ground up, and take hardware from requirements to production on systems that fly.ResponsibilitiesExecute worst-case circuit analysis across digital, analog, RF, and mixed-signal subsystems to validate design margin ahead of hardware buildsAuthor electronics verification plans that establish traceability between requirements and specific test methods, acceptance criteria, and verification evidenceContribute to schematic capture across subsystems where your analysis and integration experience directly inform design decisionsLead hardware integration from board bring-up through production qualification, including hands-on troubleshooting at the circuit and system levelWrite and execute test procedures, document results, and maintain requirements traceability through verification close-outCoordinate EMI/EMC, thermal, shock/vibe, and environmental qualification activities with external test laboratoriesParticipate in design reviews as a primary contributor on design margin, testability, and verification approachSupport FMEA and derating analysis on safety-critical subsystems across the product portfolioYou Should Have The FollowingBachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering or a closely related field5+ years of experience in electronics hardware design and verification, with demonstrated ownership of both design execution and verification close-out on production programsStrong fundamentals in circuit theory across analog, digital, and RF domains, with the ability to apply that depth to both design contribution and hands-on analysis workHands-on experience executing WCCA across digital, analog, RF, and mixed-signal subsystem typesExperience authoring and executing electronics verification plans from requirements through production test completionProficiency in schematic capture and directing PCB layout (Altium preferred)Experience leading hardware integration and board bring-up, including circuit-level debug using bench instrumentationExpertise in DFT, DFM, and DFRWorking proficiency in MATLAB, Python, or a comparable scripting language for data analysis, test automation, or results processingNice To HaveFamiliarity with formal qualification standards such as MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-810, IEC, UL, or CEBackground in aerospace, defense, or drone hardware development with production qualification experienceExperience contributing to FMEA, derating analysis, or reliability prediction on safety-critical hardwareExperience with SI/PI analysis tools$115,000 - $161,000 USDThe salary range for this role is an estimate based on a wide range of compensation factors, inclusive of base salary only. Actual salary may vary based on (but not limited to) work experience, education and/or training, critical skills, and/or business considerations.
