Lead Technical Trainer

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.

As Lead Technical Trainer at Neros, you’ll own the strategy and day-to-day execution of technical training that enables technicians, operators, and cross-functional teams to build, test, and sustain Neros systems safely and at scale.

• Data-driven mindset with a focus on training impact and measurable outcomes

Nice to Have

• Background in aerospace, drones, robotics, electronics, defense manufacturing, or another high-reliability hardware environment
• Hands-on experience with production test, inspection, troubleshooting, rework, or quality processes, especially in a fast ramp or NPI environment
