Senior Engineering, Test Engineering

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 the Senior EW Test & Evaluation Engineer, you will own the full test loop for our system against jamming threats—planning and executing both benchtop and radiated (over-the-air) test campaigns, characterizing system performance against jammers, and identifying the countermeasures needed to defeat them. Working closely with our design team, you will derive and document the specifications required to implement those countermeasures, then verify them through iterative re-testing. This role requires a strong RF background and the ability to translate hands-on test findings into actionable design requirements that harden our system in the field.

Characterize system performance under jamming to identify failure modes, vulnerabilities, and the conditions that degrade the link or capability

Derive and document the specifications and design requirements needed to implement those countermeasures in a form the design team can act on

Verify implemented changes through iterative re-testing, confirming the system meets derived specs and closing the test-characterize-spec-retest loop

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, RF/Microwave Engineering, or a related technical field

• 7+ years of experience in RF systems, electronic warfare, or communications test and evaluation, with demonstrated ownership of test campaigns from planning through execution and reporting
• Hands-on experience with benchtop RF test instrumentation, including spectrum/signal analyzers, vector signal generators, vector network analyzers (VNAs), and power meters
• Experience with radiated/over-the-air (OTA) testing, including anechoic or reverb chambers, open-air ranges, calibrated antennas, path-loss accounting, and measurement uncertainty
• Demonstrated ability to translate test results into derived specifications and design requirements, and to verify them through iterative re-testing
• Proficiency with data analysis and test automation tools (e.g., MATLAB, Python) for processing and presenting measurement data

Direct experience in counter-UAS (CUAS) or UAS systems, or working alongside CUAS engineering teams

Familiarity with DoD developmental test and evaluation (DT&E) processes, test planning documentation, and reporting standards

Experience designing or integrating anti-jam waveforms, frequency-agile systems, or adaptive/nulling antenna architectures

S. security clearance (Secret or higher), or eligibility to obtain one
