About the role
As a Manufacturing Design Engineer, you will play a key role in bringing complex hardware products from concept to high-volume production. You will work across Engineering, Test, and Operations to develop robust manufacturing processes, tooling, and assembly solutions. This role requires strong hands-on engineering skills, data-driven problem solving, and the ability to influence product design through DFM and DFA principles.
What they're looking for
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related technical field
- 2+ years of experience developing and scaling manufacturing processes for complex electro-mechanical products in consumer electronics, robotics, aerospace, automotive, or similar industries
- Proven experience leading DFM/DFA efforts and driving design changes that improve manufacturability, quality, cost, and production throughput
- Hands-on experience designing and deploying manufacturing tooling, fixtures, assembly equipment, and automation solutions for production environments
- Strong understanding of statistical process control (SPC), process capability analysis (Cpk), DOE, tolerance analysis, and root-cause problem solving methodologies
- Experience supporting products through DVT, PVT, and production ramp, including manufacturing validation, process qualification, and yield improvement activities
More about this role
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 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.
