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\nOur mission is to build a million drones a year here in America, and every one depends on how well its mechanical and electrical hardware comes together. As a Quality Inspector, you’ll inspect parts, sub-assemblies, and finished vehicles across the factory, from incoming inspection (IQC) through final assembly. You’ll catch workmanship and assembly defects before they move down the line, so that every unit survives and performs in contested environments.\nThis is a hands-on role for someone with a sharp eye and high standards. You inspect hardware to drawings and workmanship standards, document what you find, and make sure nothing questionable gets past you. When a defect shows up, you’re the one who catches it, quarantines it, and gets it in front of the right people.\nIf you’ve spent time inspecting hardware on a production floor and want to own quality from incoming parts to the finished drone, this is your role.\nResponsibilities\nPerform incoming, first article, in-process, and final inspection of mechanical parts, electro-mechanical sub-assemblies, and finished vehicles across the factory to drawings, specifications, and workmanship standards\nVerify dimensions and assembly workmanship, including GD&T, fastener torque, connector mating, and harness routing, using tools such as calipers, micrometers, height gauges, and torque tools\nVerify supplier documentation, including certificates of conformance, inspection reports, and traceability\nIndependently execute inspection plans, sampling plans, and work instructions, and record results clearly, accurately, and completely in production systems\nIdentify and document nonconformances, contain suspect hardware, and verify all required actions from the MRB disposition are complete before releasing hardware back to production\nAct as the eyes and ears on the floor, flagging recurring defects and systemic issues to engineering, production, and supply chain\nYou should have the following\nHigh school diploma or equivalency.\n2+ years of hands-on mechanical or electro-mechanical inspection experience in a manufacturing production environment\nAbility to read and work from engineering drawings, including GD&T, as well as BOMs and work instructions\nProficiency with precision measurement tools and inspection methods\nExperience documenting nonconformances in an NCR, MES, or ERP system\nNice to have\nCurrent IPC/WHMA-A-620 certification\nExperience with CMM or automated vision inspection\nExperience in an AS9100 or ISO 9001 quality management system, ideally in aerospace or defense manufacturing\nUS Salary Range\n$29.00 - $38.00/hr 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":3858,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":2,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"high_school","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Military Drones","Defense Manufacturing"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-29T18:29:15Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":63,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.632,"p_room":1,"age_days":1,"expected_fill_days":56,"reasons":["conf:1","stale_co","velocity","win:early","comp:junior,brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-31T05:58:55Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":76000,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/neros-quality-inspector-electro-mechanical-assembly","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/neros-quality-inspector-electro-mechanical-assembly.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-31T09:08:59Z","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":13803,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-01T00:00:00Z"}},"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-quality-inspector-electro-mechanical-assembly"},{"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-quality-inspector-electro-mechanical-assembly"},{"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-quality-inspector-electro-mechanical-assembly"},{"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-quality-inspector-electro-mechanical-assembly\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fneros-quality-inspector-electro-mechanical-assembly"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3474891}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"neros.tech","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3474891},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
