Description

Who we are Neros is a defense technology company rebuilding America’s drone industrial base. 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.

Develop and monitor performance KPIs across shipping cost, lead time, and delivery reliability. Maintain DG certifications and ensure proper staff training and recordkeeping per regulatory requirements. Write, standardize, and maintain SOPs for all shipping, receiving, and logistics workflows, including export documentation, DG handling, and customs processes. Build audit-ready documentation systems for traceability and defense-contract compliance (e.g., DFARS, DPAS, AS9100). Support ERP or SCM system integration to automate shipment tracking and cost allocation. Partner with Supply Chain, Production, Legal, and Program Management teams to align shipping with customer delivery schedules and export restrictions. Advise engineering and operations on packaging and design considerations for DG and controlled exports. You should have the following 5+ years of experience in logistics, transportation, or supply chain management, with a focus on international and DG shipments. Strong working knowledge of IATA, IMDG, 49 CFR, ITAR, EAR, and customs regulations. Experience preparing export documentation (commercial invoices, shippers’ declarations, AES filings, etc.). Proven ability to build and implement logistics SOPs and training documentation. Excellent attention to detail, communication, and organizational skills.
