Job Application for Senior Test Quality & Reliability Engineer at Neros Technologies

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

The Test Quality & Reliability Engineer will own the quality, reliability, and scalability of manufacturing test systems that enable Neros’ production growth. This role will ensure test infrastructure provides accurate, repeatable, and trusted results by driving improvements in test coverage, system robustness, uptime, and data quality. The engineer will partner closely with Test, Manufacturing, Quality, Hardware, Firmware, and Operations teams to prevent escapes and remove test as a production bottleneck.

Responsibilities

Own validation, qualification, and continuous improvement of manufacturing test systems from NPI through production ramp
Analyze test data, failure trends, and system performance to identify root causes and drive corrective actions
Improve tester reliability through calibration control, preventive maintenance, measurement validation, and uptime improvements
Develop and maintain test quality processes including GR&R, test coverage analysis, limit validation, fault injection, loop test, and system health monitoring
Partner with engineering teams on DFT/DFM improvements to increase test effectiveness and reduce manufacturing risks

You should have the following

7+ years of experience in manufacturing test engineering, quality engineering, reliability engineering, or a related field supporting complex products in production environments
Proven experience developing, validating, and sustaining manufacturing test systems, including test hardware, software, fixtures, instrumentation, and data collection systems
Strong understanding of test quality fundamentals, including test coverage, false pass/fail analysis, measurement accuracy, calibration, and tester reliability
Experience with structured problem-solving methods such as root cause analysis, FMEA, 8D, fault isolation, and corrective/preventive actions
Hands-on experience analyzing manufacturing test data, failure trends, and production metrics to drive quality and reliability improvements
Experience partnering with cross-functional teams including Manufacturing, Product Quality, Hardware, Firmware, Software, and Operations teams
Understanding of DFT (Design for Test), DFM (Design for Manufacturing), and how product design decisions impact manufacturing test effectiveness

Nice to have

Experience with high-volume manufacturing environments in aerospace, drones, automotive, consumer electronics, or other complex electromechanical products
Hands-on experience with statistical analysis tools, SPC, MSA (Measurement System Analysis), Gage R&R, and reliability data analysis
Experience developing automated test software or scripts using Python, LabVIEW, C#, or similar programming languages
Familiarity with DFT/DFM principles, manufacturing data systems (MES), and test data analytics platforms
Experience building test quality processes, including test validation plans, calibration strategies, preventive maintenance, and tester health monitoring
