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.
What you will be doing
As the Senior EW Test & Evaluation Engineer, you will own the full test loop for our system against jamming threats—planning and executing both benchtop and radiated (over-the-air) test campaigns, characterizing system performance against jammers, and identifying the countermeasures needed to defeat them. Working closely with our design team, you will derive and document the specifications required to implement those countermeasures, then verify them through iterative re-testing. This role requires a strong RF background and the ability to translate hands-on test findings into actionable design requirements that harden our system in the field.
Responsibilities
Plan, design, and execute test campaigns against jamming threats across both benchtop and radiated (over-the-air) environments, owning test setup, instrumentation, and calibration
Characterize system performance under jamming to identify failure modes, vulnerabilities, and the conditions that degrade the link or capability
Determine effective countermeasures and anti-jam techniques (e.g., frequency agility, spatial nulling, waveform and power management) to defeat identified threats
Derive and document the specifications and design requirements needed to implement those countermeasures in a form the design team can act on
Collaborate with counter-UAS engineers to understand threat behavior and ensure test scenarios reflect realistic jamming tactics
Verify implemented changes through iterative re-testing, confirming the system meets derived specs and closing the test-characterize-spec-retest loop
You should have the following
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, RF/Microwave Engineering, or a related technical field
7+ years of experience in RF systems, electronic warfare, or communications test and evaluation, with demonstrated ownership of test campaigns from planning through execution and reporting
Strong RF fundamentals: link budgets, antenna theory and patterns, RF propagation, modulation and waveforms, and low-probability-of-intercept/detection (LPI/LPD) concepts
Hands-on experience with benchtop RF test instrumentation, including spectrum/signal analyzers, vector signal generators, vector network analyzers (VNAs), and power meters
