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.

Forecast resource requirements and collaboratively source, build, and grow a local team of world class UAS developers, support personnel, product managers, and logistics professionals. Manage partnerships in a collaborative manner, including working through schedule updates, setting integration touch points, and conveying risks and potential mitigations to senior company leadership. You should have the following 6+ years of experience in progressive leadership roles in a technology company, preferably in UAS. Demonstrated ability to creatively problem solve and think outside the box for solutions. Demonstrated ability to engage and effectively communicate with senior leaders of business and government organizations.
