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 a Senior Electrical Engineer, Design Assurance at Neros, you will validate the electronics that go into our next generation airside and groundside platforms. You will perform circuit analysis, bring up and characterize new hardware, run qualification testing, and design the fixtures and test stations that support it. You will work directly with design engineers during product development so that what you find makes it back into the design before production.\nResponsibilities:\nPerform worst-case circuit analysis and component derating from schematic through post-layout, update the analysis with bench measurements, and work with the responsible engineer to close findings before release\nBring up, characterize, and validate new circuit boards against requirements, including authoring test plans, procedures, and reports\nPerform signal and power integrity simulation and validate the results on the bench, feeding findings back into stackup, layout, and decoupling decisions\nPlan and execute qualification testing, including HALT/HASS, thermal, vibration, and EMC pre-compliance, and lead root-cause analysis on failures\nDesign and build test fixtures, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) stations, and HALT/HASS setups, including the automation and data acquisition behind them\nSupport design engineers during product development with design-for-test (DFT) and design-for-reliability (DFR) input\nYou should have the following\n8+ years of experience in electrical hardware engineering, with hands-on ownership of design verification, validation, or qualification of circuit boards\nHands-on worst-case circuit analysis and component derating on production hardware, from schematic-level analysis through post-layout checks and bench correlation\nBoard bring-up, characterization, and validation experience, including writing your own test plans and reports\nSignal and power integrity simulation (HFSS, HyperLynx, SIwave, or similar), with bench validation using TDR, VNA, and high-speed oscilloscopes\nQualification testing experience, including HALT/HASS and environmental testing (thermal, vibration) to MIL-STD-810 or equivalent standards\nExperience designing and building test fixtures, HIL stations, and automated test setups, including scripting in Python or similar\nBoard-level design experience: schematics and PCBs you designed yourself. Test fixtures and test stations count\nDeep proficiency with bench instrumentation: oscilloscopes, network and spectrum analyzers, power analyzers, electronic loads, and environmental chambers\nBachelor's degree in electrical engineering or a related field\nNice to Have\nEMC/EMI pre-compliance testing (MIL-STD-461 or equivalent)\nHigh-speed interface compliance testing (PCIe, MIPI, USB, Ethernet)\nExperience taking hardware through a production ramp with a contract manufacturer, including production test development\nBackground in UAV, aerospace, automotive, defense, or medical device hardware\nUS Salary Range\n$187,000 - $315,000 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":4231,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":8,"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":"2026-10-22T19:52:17Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":63,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.632,"p_room":1,"age_days":6,"expected_fill_days":56,"reasons":["conf:0","stale_co","velocity","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-29T05:49:05Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":315000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/neros-senior-electrical-engineer-ii-design-assurance","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/neros-senior-electrical-engineer-ii-design-assurance.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-29T18:39:22Z","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":27648,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-30T00:00:00Z"}},"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-senior-electrical-engineer-ii-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-senior-electrical-engineer-ii-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-senior-electrical-engineer-ii-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-senior-electrical-engineer-ii-design-assurance\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fneros-senior-electrical-engineer-ii-design-assurance"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3107911}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"neros.tech","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3107911},"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.
