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.\nAs 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.\nWhat you will be doing\nAs an Electrical Engineer III, Design Assurance at Neros, you will bring up, characterize, and validate the circuit boards that go into our next generation airside and groundside platforms. You will write and run test plans, contribute to worst-case circuit analysis from schematic through bench validation, and design the fixtures and automated test setups behind that work. You will work with design engineers during product development to get results back into the design.\nKey Responsibilities:\nBring up, characterize, and validate new circuit boards against requirements\nContribute to worst-case circuit analysis, from schematic-level calculations and simulation through post-layout checks and bench validation, feeding measured results back into the analysis\nWrite and execute test plans, procedures, and reports\nDesign and build test fixtures, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) setups, and automated test scripts\nRun qualification and reliability testing, including thermal, vibration, and HALT/HASS, and support root-cause analysis on failures\nProvide design-for-test (DFT) input to design engineers during product development\nYou should have the following:\n4+ years of experience in electrical hardware engineering, with hands-on bench validation of circuit boards\nBoard bring-up and characterization experience, including writing your own test plans and reports\nProficiency with bench instrumentation: oscilloscopes, logic and protocol analyzers, power supplies, electronic loads, DMMs, and spectrum analyzers\nBoard-level design experience: schematics and PCBs you designed yourself. Test fixtures and test boards count\nCircuit analysis across analog, digital, and power supply circuits, including hand calculations, tolerance analysis, and SPICE simulation (LTspice or similar)\nTest automation and data analysis in Python or similar\nBachelor's degree in electrical engineering or a related field\nNice to have:\nSignal and power integrity simulation (HyperLynx, SIwave, or similar) and bench measurement (TDR, VNA, eye diagrams)\nHands-on WCCA and component derating on production hardware\nPrevious HALT/HASS, environmental, or EMC pre-compliance testing experience\nProduction test development with a contract manufacturer\nBackground in UAV, aerospace, automotive, defense, or medical device hardware\nUS Salary Range\n$136,500 - $191,500 USD\nThe salary range for this role is an estimate based on a wide range of compensation factors, inclusive of base salary only. Actual salary may vary based on (but not limited to) work experience, education and/or training, critical skills, and/or business considerations. Highly competitive equity grants are considered part of Neros' total compensation package.\nWe’re an equal opportunity employer. We welcome all applicants without attention to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, veteran or disability status.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3595,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":4,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Military Drones","Defense Manufacturing"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-20T19:48:52Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":1,"expected_fill_days":56,"reasons":["conf:1","velocity","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-22T06:10:10Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":191500,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/neros-electrical-engineer-iii-design-assurance","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/neros-electrical-engineer-iii-design-assurance.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-23T02:35:57Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":4269,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-24T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":678223},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=678223"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fneros-electrical-engineer-iii-design-assurance"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fneros-electrical-engineer-iii-design-assurance"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fneros-electrical-engineer-iii-design-assurance"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/neros-electrical-engineer-iii-design-assurance\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fneros-electrical-engineer-iii-design-assurance"}]}
