Senior Facilities Engineer

Torrance, California, United States

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

As a Senior Facilities Engineer at Neros, you will own the technical performance, reliability, and long-term development of the infrastructure supporting our manufacturing, engineering, laboratory, and office environments. You will be responsible for critical building and process systems including electrical distribution, HVAC and exhaust, compressed air, process gases, plumbing, cleanrooms, laboratories, and other utilities required to support manufacturing operations. You will work closely with Manufacturing and Engineering teams to evaluate new equipment requirements, understand infrastructure capacity, and develop solutions that allow the factory to scale. This role also owns long-term infrastructure planning, preventative maintenance strategy, facility system documentation, and the site Master Layout and as-built CAD. The ideal candidate is highly technical, field-oriented, and comfortable taking ownership of infrastructure problems from initial diagnosis through implementation.

  • Establish engineering standards and technical requirements for facility infrastructure
  • Support commissioning, planned shutdowns, utility tie-ins, and Methods of Procedure for critical infrastructure work
  • Provide engineering support during facility incidents and emergency response

Manufacturing & Equipment Infrastructure

  • Partner with Manufacturing Engineering, Production, EHS, and equipment owners to define infrastructure requirements for new machines, processes, laboratories, and production work centers
  • Review equipment requirements including electrical loads, compressed air, process gases, cooling water, HVAC, exhaust, drainage, clearances, and environmental requirements
  • Evaluate existing infrastructure capacity and identify upgrades required to support new equipment installations
  • Develop infrastructure concepts and technical scopes for machine installations, manufacturing expansions, and facility improvements

Infrastructure Strategy & Capacity Planning

  • Develop and maintain the long-range infrastructure strategy supporting manufacturing growth and facility expansion
  • Perform capacity planning across electrical, HVAC, compressed air, process gas, exhaust, plumbing, and other critical utility systems
  • Develop technical roadmaps for major infrastructure investments including tank farms, compressors, process gas systems, switchgear, electrical distribution, HVAC, exhaust, cleanrooms, and laboratory buildouts
  • Identify infrastructure constraints and future capacity requirements before they impact manufacturing operations
  • Support capital planning and prioritization of infrastructure investments

Reliability & Preventative Maintenance

  • Develop and continuously improve preventative maintenance strategies for critical facility systems
  • Establish maintenance requirements, inspection frequencies, spare-part strategies, and system ownership
  • Partner with Facilities Technicians and service vendors to execute preventative and corrective maintenance
  • Analyze failures, recurring work orders, and equipment condition to improve system reliability and reduce unplanned downtime

Facility Layout & Documentation

  • Own and maintain the facility Master Layout and CAD documentation for facility spaces, equipment layouts, and infrastructure
  • Maintain utility maps, single-line diagrams, system diagrams, equipment schedules, redlines, and as-built drawings
  • Conduct site walks and field verification to ensure documentation reflects actual installed conditions
  • Ensure facility modifications and completed projects are incorporated into current as-built documentation

You should have the following

  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Facilities Engineering, or a related technical discipline
  • 5+ years of experience in facilities engineering, industrial infrastructure, manufacturing facilities, or a similar environment
  • Strong understanding of industrial facility systems including electrical distribution, HVAC, compressed air, process utilities, plumbing, and exhaust
  • Experience evaluating utility requirements for manufacturing equipment and production processes
  • Experience troubleshooting facility systems and performing root-cause analysis
  • Experience developing or supporting preventative maintenance and reliability programs
  • Ability to read and interpret architectural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and controls drawings
  • Proficiency with AutoCAD and experience maintaining facility layouts and as-built drawings
  • Familiarity with applicable building, electrical, mechanical, fire/life-safety, and safety codes
  • Strong technical judgment and ability to independently solve ambiguous infrastructure problems
  • Comfortable working directly in mechanical rooms, electrical rooms, manufacturing spaces, rooftops, equipment areas, and active construction environments
  • Strong communication skills and ability to work cross-functionally with Manufacturing, Engineering, EHS, Operations, and external technical partners

Nice to have

  • PE or EIT certification
  • Experience developing long-range infrastructure plans, preventative maintenance budgets, or annual operating plans
  • Experience supporting aerospace, defense, advanced manufacturing, semiconductor, automotive, or similarly complex industrial facilities
  • Experience with cleanrooms, laboratories, process gases, hazardous material infrastructure, or controlled environments
  • Experience with BAS/BMS systems and facility controls
  • Experience with CMMS systems and asset management
  • Experience with utility metering, energy management, or infrastructure capacity modeling
  • Experience commissioning new facility systems
  • Experience managing Facilities Technicians, electricians, or service vendors

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
