Full Job Description
What you will be doing
As a Mechanical Engineer at Neros, you will own key components and subsystems within our products, starting from the conceptual design phase all the way through mass production. This is a dynamic and exciting role at a rapidly growing startup and presents an opportunity to be a foundational member of the Mechanical Engineering team. We are looking for passionate, skilled, and hands-on engineers that take pride in delivering best-in-class hardware.
Responsibilities
Own all aspects of hardware design to optimize for performance, high-volume manufacturability, and cost
Gather requirements and translate these into defensible engineering architectures and decisions
Perform detailed design trades by effectively leveraging 3D modeling software, FEA tools, prototyping, and engineering first principles
Participate in and lead design reviews
Create high quality engineering drawings
Root cause hardware failures and manufacturing issues
Work with the Manufacturing and Supply Chain teams on build instructions, production tooling/fixtures, and vendor selection. Own these items yourself where necessary
Plan and execute validation testing for your designs, working with the Flight Test team and other engineering teams as appropriate
You should have the following
Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field
