Neros is vertically integrating production of unmanned defense systems in the United States, securing the autonomous supply chain. Are you with us? Backed by Sequoia.
About the role
As a PCB Design Engineer at Neros, you will own printed circuit board layout across every product line we build, from the compact airside electronics inside our aircraft to the ground control hardware. You will take released schematics from our design engineers and own everything downstream: layer stackup, placement, controlled-impedance and RF routing, flex and rigid-flex interconnect, and the complete fabrication and assembly drawing package.
What they're looking for
- Own PCB layout on assigned designs from released schematic through fabrication release, including board outline, layer stackup definition, component placement, routing, and design rule closure
- Read and interpret schematics from the design engineers and apply the layout practices appropriate to each design
- Own the Altium library: footprints, schematic symbols, land patterns, 3D component bodies, design rule and board templates, output jobs, naming conventions, and revision control
- Implement high-speed digital, RF, precision analog, and power sections on the same board, applying controlled impedance, differential pair and length matching, and disciplined return path design
- Design flexible and rigid-flex circuits, including bend area construction, stiffeners, coverlay, and ZIF terminations
- Produce complete fabrication and assembly documentation to IPC Class 2 and Class 3, including fab and assembly drawings, Gerber X2 or ODB++, NC drill, netlists, paste and assembly data, and BOM outputs
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.
