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

  • You will own high priority initiatives that do not yet have a clear long-term owner - some of these initiatives may be exciting and glamorous, others will be decidedly less so - but all of them will be high impact
  • Step into ambiguous situations, create structure quickly, and drive momentum
  • Help leaders across the company translate priorities and decisions into execution
  • Proactively identify problems and bottlenecks, and resolve them expeditiously with limited support or oversight

You should have the following

  • 3-10 years of progressive experience in high performance environments such as investment banking, private equity, venture capital, management consulting, or high-growth startups
  • Exceptional problem-solving and analytical skills
  • Exceptional communication skills, both written and verbal
  • Ability to rapidly iterate, adapt, and ingest new information
  • A strong sense of mission and a desire to have impact at scale
  • Active TS/SCI clearance or ability to obtain one

Nice to have

  • Technical background and skills and/or firsthand experience with drones
  • Experience working with or at high growth, venture-backed startups
  • Experience with defense or hardware companies
  • Experience with financial modeling
  • Robust understanding of statistical analysis techniques

$125,000 - $225,000 USD

We’re an equal opportunity employer. We welcome all applicants without attention to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, veteran or disability status.
