Job Description

Who we are

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

Responsibilities

• Assist with the design and simulation of RF circuits, including matching networks, filters, and amplifiers.
• Build, tune, and characterize RF prototypes to validate design performance.
• Conduct critical RF measurements and testing using lab equipment like Vector Network Analyzers (VNAs), spectrum analyzers, and signal generators.
• Perform root cause analysis on production failures to identify and resolve potential design issues.
• Assemble test setups and execute verification and validation test plans.
• Collaborate with firmware and other engineering teams to support system integration and testing.

You should have the following

• Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) or a related technical field. 0-2 Years experience.
• Solid understanding of fundamental RF and electromagnetic concepts.
• Hands-on experience with standard RF laboratory equipment is required.
• Proficient soldering skills, with experience handling small surface-mount RF components.
• Ability to select components to meet RF system specifications.

Nice to have

• Previous Experience: An internship, co-op, or significant university project in an RF or wireless hardware role.
• Scripting Skills: Experience automating tests or analyzing data using  Python or  MATLAB .
• Layout Familiarity: Basic understanding of PCB layout principles for RF circuits using tools like Altium Designer.
• Protocol Knowledge: Familiarity with specific wireless communication protocols such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, LoRa, or cellular standards.
• Hobbyist Interest: Personal projects or an active interest in areas like amateur radio (ham radio), software-defined radio (SDR), or electronics projects.

US Salary Range

$80,000 - $150,000 USD

The salary range for this role is an estimate based on a wide range of compensation factors, inclusive of base salary only.
