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
Neros builds first-person-view drones for the modern battlefield. As Senior Embedded Linux Engineer, you will own the embedded Linux platform underneath Neros products — the distribution, kernel, bootloader, and SDK that our flight, ground-station, and autonomy software teams build on. This is a platform-ownership role: your customers are other engineering teams, and your work is the foundation the whole product line stands on.
What they're looking for
- Own our embedded Linux distribution and board support packages (Yocto/Buildroot) — from board bring-up on new compute platforms to safe, reliable field updates
- Own kernel configuration, device drivers, and the bootloader, including secure boot and update/recovery paths
- Design and maintain the common runtime and libraries other teams consume — logging, telemetry, IPC, configuration — and the cross-compile toolchain and SDK
- Bring up new compute platforms: from first power-on to a production-ready OS image
- Set Linux platform best practices and mentor engineers across teams that build on the platform
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.
