Electrical Assembly Technician

Who we are

Neros is transforming a defense industry mired in costly, behemoth machinery—to circumvent a looming vulnerability gap, to give dismounted soldiers a fighting chance against tanks, and ultimately, to get as many humans off the battlefield as possible.

While consumer technology is evolving by bounds on the smaller-cheaper-better path, U.S. defense technology wallows in the large, centralized, and wildly expensive paradigm. Our air, land, and sea machinery budget is staggering; yet these large assets can still be vulnerable to very small weapons. When swarm technology comes into its own, the asymmetry will escalate. Nowhere is the pattern more glaring than in small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS)—drones. 

What you will be doing

As an early Neros employee, you will get to help decide the direction of our future. We are looking for someone who will work closely with engineers and technicians to assemble electronics, solder printed circuit board assemblies and build harnesses to a high standard. Other responsibilities include:

• Hand soldering of electronic components including surface mount technology
• Mechanical assembly of precision electronics, RF and optical components
• Reading and interpreting assembly drawings and schematics
• Inspection of solder joints to ensure quality standards are met
• Troubleshooting and repairing electronic assemblies
• Maintaining a clean and organized work area

You should have the following

• High school diploma and 5+ years of experience with hand soldering
• Familiarity with aerospace standards including IPC-J-STD-001 certification
• Ability to read and interpret assembly drawings and schematics
• Strong attention to detail and quality
• Ability to work independently and in a team environment
• Ability to work with a microscope
