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 Quality Engineer at Neros, you’ll own electro-mechanical build quality across the factory as we scale production, from motors, harnesses, and mechanisms through the finished vehicle. You’ll be the first call when an assembly or integration issue shows up on the line, working with manufacturing and engineering to contain it, find the root cause, and make sure every unit survives and performs in contested environments. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Act as first responder for quality issues on the line: disposition defects, contain suspect product, and run MRB for electro-mechanical nonconformances
- Lead root cause investigations on electro-mechanical defects in partnership with engineering, and verify that fixes hold on the line
- Track line metrics (FPY, defect Pareto, scrap and rework, escapes) and use SPC to catch drift before it becomes a failure
- Run regular build quality reviews on defect trends and drive the top issues to closure
- Partner with manufacturing and engineering to add in-line checks and error-proofing where the data calls for it, reducing inspection as processes prove capable
- Drive design for quality (DFQ) by feeding line defect data and inspection findings back to engineering to improve manufacturability and reduce defects
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.
