Senior/Lead Electrical 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

• Lead detailed electrical design on complex production systems, from schematic capture through layout oversight and design verification
• Contribute to system architecture discussions and translate requirements into detailed hardware specifications
• Perform schematic capture for assigned subsystems and guide PCB layout to meet signal integrity, power integrity, thermal, and EMC requirements
• Conduct worst-case circuit analysis, component derating, and design margin reviews
• Apply DFM, DFT, and DFR practices to ensure reliability and manufacturability at volume
• Participate in design reviews and contribute to technical sign-off on hardware designs and product releases
• Mentor junior and mid-level engineers to build strong design practices
• Collaborate with firmware, mechanical, and systems teams to resolve cross-disciplinary challenges

Requirements

• 10+ years of experience in electrical hardware design
• Expertise in mixed-signal design, high-speed digital design, and embedded systems
• Proven track record of taking products from concept through production
• Strong proficiency in schematic capture, preferably Altium
• Solid understanding of PCB layout principles for high-speed digital, power, and mixed-signal systems
• Experience with high-speed serial interfaces such as PCIe, MIPI CSI-2, USB 3.x, or LVDS
• Experience with DFM, DFT, and EMC/EMI disciplines
• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or a related field

Preferred Qualifications

• RF and wireless system design experience (antenna design, RF front-end, link budget analysis)
• Experience with LoRa, FHSS, or similar long-range wireless technologies
• Background in UAV, avionics, or robotics
• FPGA design experience
• Familiarity with multi-physics simulation tools like Ansys SIwave or HyperLynx
• Familiarity with MATLAB/Simulink
• Master of Science in Electrical Engineering
