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 Senior 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 technical authority on electro-mechanical quality, leading the response when assembly or integration issues show up on the line and working with manufacturing and engineering to contain them, 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
- Own electro-mechanical quality across the factory as the technical authority on workmanship and acceptance, from components and sub-assemblies such as motors, harnesses, and mechanisms through final vehicle assembly
- Act as first responder for quality issues on the line: disposition defects, contain suspect product, and drive electro-mechanical nonconformances through MRB to closure
- Lead MRB for electro-mechanical nonconformances and lead containment on high-impact escapes
- Lead root cause investigations on electro-mechanical defects in partnership with engineering, and verify that fixes hold on the line
- Define the electro-mechanical quality metrics and SPC strategy, and work with software teams to build them into production systems and dashboards
- Run build quality reviews with production and engineering leadership, setting priorities based on risk and impact
