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.\n\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.\n\nWhat you will be doing\nAs a Components Engineer at Neros, you will be the steward of the component ecosystem our hardware team builds upon. You will own the creation, review, and lifecycle management of parts across our Altium libraries and ERP system, serving as the first point of review for new part selection and ensuring every component that enters our designs meets Neros' technical, sourcing, and regulatory requirements. Given our commitment to NDAA compliance and American manufacturing, you will play a meaningful role in ensuring our supply chain reflects those values. This is a detail‑intensive, cross‑functional role that sits at the intersection of engineering, procurement, and operations.\n\nResponsibilities\n\nOwn the creation and maintenance of components in the Altium library, including schematic symbols, PCB footprints, and 3D models, ensuring accuracy and consistency across all hardware designs\n\nManage component data entry and lifecycle status in the ERP system, maintaining accurate and up-to-date records for all active, approved, and obsolete parts\n\nReview new part requests from the engineering team, evaluating technical compliance, sourcing availability, supply chain risk, and regulatory status (NDAA, RoHS, REACH, conflict minerals) prior to approval\n\nServe as the primary technical interface to component manufacturers, obtaining NDAA compliance documentation, reliability and safety data, and technical specifications not available in published datasheets\n\nDefine and validate alternate part equivalencies, ensuring that all approved substitutions meet form, fit, and function requirements\n\nManage component lifecycle events including end‑of‑life notifications, last‑time­-buy decisions, and replacement part qualification to protect supply continuity\n\nSupport component selection across the hardware team, helping identify parts that align with Neros' NDAA compliance requirements and USA sourcing commitments\n\nCollaborate with procurement and operations teams to resolve component availability issues and support supply chain continuity\n\nYou should have the following\n\nBackground in electrical engineering or a closely related field\n\nHands‑on experience with Altium Designer, including schematic symbol creation, PCB footprint development, and 3D model integration\n\nStrong working knowledge of electronic components (passive components, ICs, connectors, discrete semiconductors) and the ability to read and interpret data sheets with a critical eye\n\nExperience with ERP systems for component data entry and management\n\nExceptional attention to detail and a systematic, process‑driven approach to data accuracy and compliance\n\nFamiliarity with regulatory requirements relevant to electronic components, including RoHS, REACH, and NDAA Section 889 compliance\n\nStrong organizational skills with the ability to manage a high volume of part requests and competing priorities without sacrificing accuracy\n\nNice to have\n\nPrior experience in a formal components engineering, PCB library management, or PCB layout role\n\nFamiliarity with AVL/AML management and supply chain or procurement processes\n\nExperience managing component obsolescence and executing lifecycle mitigation strategies\n\nFamiliarity with ITAR/EAR export control requirements\n\nExperience in a production electronics environment, particularly in defense, aerospace, or similarly regulated industries\n\nAssociate's or Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Technology, or a related field\n\nUS Salary Range\n$80,000-$130,000 USD\n\nThe salary range for this role is an estimate based on a wide range of compensation factors, inclusive of base salary only.
