## About the role

As a Flight Performance Engineer at Neros, you will own the flight dynamics of our UAVs, from hands-on prototyping and structured field testing through data-driven tuning, qualification, and release of flight configurations. You’ll lead root cause analysis using blackbox/DVR/thermal data and work cross-functionally with firmware, mechanical, and production teams to eliminate failure modes and improve performance metrics at scale. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Own the flight performance (stability, response, reliability) of multirotor UAS from prototype through production
- Design and execute structured test protocols to evaluate flight performance, identify failure modes, and validate configuration changes
- Develop and maintain internal documentation on flight dynamics, tuning methodology, and test results
- Represent flight performance interests in cross-functional reviews with mechanical, electrical, firmware, production, and NPI teams
- Serve as a subject matter expert on flight dynamics, delivering structured knowledge transfers of advanced multirotor mechanics to peers
- Lead R&D efforts to evaluate design changes and improve product performance
