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 the Senior EW Test & Evaluation Engineer, you will own the full test loop for our system against jamming threats—planning and executing both benchtop and radiated (over-the-air) test campaigns, characterizing system performance against jammers, and identifying the countermeasures needed to defeat them. Working closely with our design team, you will derive and document the specifications required to implement those countermeasures, then verify them through iterative re-testing. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Plan, design, and execute test campaigns against jamming threats across both benchtop and radiated (over-the-air) environments, owning test setup, instrumentation, and calibration
- Characterize system performance under jamming to identify failure modes, vulnerabilities, and the conditions that degrade the link or capability
- Determine effective countermeasures and anti-jam techniques (e.g., frequency agility, spatial nulling, waveform and power management) to defeat identified threats
- Derive and document the specifications and design requirements needed to implement those countermeasures in a form the design team can act on
- Collaborate with counter-UAS engineers to understand threat behavior and ensure test scenarios reflect realistic jamming tactics
- Verify implemented changes through iterative re-testing, confirming the system meets derived specs and closing the test-characterize-spec-retest loop
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.
