What you will be doingAs a Senior Electrical Engineer -V&V (Verification & Validation) Lead at Neros, you will own verification and validation of the production electronics at the core of our platform. You will establish and lead our EV/DV program - defining verification workflows, building lab test capability, and executing qualification campaigns across our airside, ground station, and interceptor product lines. This is a role for someone who combines deep hands-on test and measurement skill with the drive to build a V&V discipline from the ground up and extend their impact through technical leadership as the team grows.
Responsibilities- Define and implement EV/DV verification workflows for production electronics, including test plans, procedures, reports, and requirements traceability
- Plan and execute engineering validation and design validation testing: functional, thermal, vibration, environmental, EMC/EMI pre-compliance, and power quality
- Specify and build electrical test infrastructure, including instrumentation selection, custom test fixtures, and automated data acquisition
- Establish verification gate criteria and lead V&V sign-off as part of design reviews and product releases
- Lead root-cause analysis of failures found in test, production, and the field, and drive corrective actions in partnership with design engineers
- Provide technical guidance and mentorship to product-focused V&V engineers as the team scales
You should have the following- A track record of taking electronics through formal qualification (EV/DV or equivalent military, aerospace, or automotive programs) to production release
- Deep bench proficiency with oscilloscopes, spectrum and network analyzers, electronic loads and power analysis, environmental chambers, and vibration test equipment
- Demonstrated experience authoring V&V documentation: test plans, test procedures, test reports, and requirements traceability matrices
- Strong circuit design fundamentals, with the ability to review schematics and engage design engineers on failure mechanisms at the component and board level
- Experience with EMC/EMI testing (pre-compliance and/or formal) and environmental test standards such as MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-461, DO-160, or equivalent commercial standards
- Scripting and test automation experience (Python or similar) for instrument control, data acquisition, and analysis
- Clear communication skills, with the ability to document rigorously and present verification status and risk crisply to program stakeholders
- Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or a related field
Nice to have- 7+ years of experience in electrical hardware engineering, with substantial hands-on ownership of verification, validation, or qualification of complex mixed-signal and embedded electronics
- Experience standing up a V&V function, test lab, or qualification process from scratch at a startup or small company
- Background in UAV, avionics, robotics, or defense applications where hardware reliability and operational environment are critical considerations
- Reliability engineering experience: HALT/HASS, accelerated life testing, and derating verification
- Familiarity with WCCA and DFMEA methodologies and how verification ties into them
- Statistical methods for test: measurement uncertainty, design of experiments, and sampling strategies
- Master of Science in Electrical Engineering or a related field
