Autonomy Mechatronics Engineer

About the Company

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.

Responsibilities

• Own autonomy-critical mechanical subsystems from concept through testing and deployment
• Design, build, and execute test infrastructure and field experiments to validate real-world performance
• Diagnose and resolve cross-disciplinary failures across mechanics, autonomy, sensing, and manufacturing

Requirements

• 2+ years of professional experience in mechanical engineering, robotics, or mechatronics roles
• Strong proficiency in mechanical design and CAD (e.g., SolidWorks, NX)
• Hands-on experience designing and executing hardware test campaigns
• Ability to debug complex issues involving mechanical systems, sensors, controls, and embedded software
• Experience with rapid prototyping methods (CNC, sheet metal, composites, additive manufacturing)
• Working knowledge of structural, thermal, or dynamic analysis using FEA or first-principles
• Familiarity with autonomy or robotics systems (UAVs, UGVs, or similar)
• Experience supporting manufacturing and scale-up

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience running a test qualification campaign for a robotic or drone product
• Experience characterizing sensors
