Role summary
Neros, a defense technology company specializing in high-performance unmanned systems, seeks a Quality Specialist to embed within its drone production line. This role requires proficiency in inspection, measurement, and quality systems, with responsibilities including developing and improving these systems, training others, performing various inspections (first article, in-process, final) against drawings and standards, using precision measurement tools, triaging non-conforming products, writing inspection plans, supporting NPI, monitoring quality data, owning equipment calibration, and maintaining quality records. The ideal candidate has 5+ years of hands-on quality inspection or engineering experience in manufacturing, with strong GD&T interpretation, nonconformance documentation, and SQL skills for quality metrics analysis.
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.
What you will be doing
Our mission is to build a million drones a year here in America, and the production line that builds them needs an embedded quality resource: the specialist. As a Quality Specialist, you will be proficient in inspection, measurement, and quality systems and will be trusted to develop and improve them as well as train others in them.
This is the role that blends the best of both inspector and engineer, resulting in highly skilled hands-on expertise with engineering judgement and authority. You inspect to drawings and procedures, but you also write the inspection plans. You verify production builds, but you also define how a new product gets inspected before anyone has built it. When a defect shows up, you’re the one who contains it, and then you make sure it doesn’t escape the same way twice.
If you’ve spent years on a production floor learning quality inspection and engineering, and you want to build something that matters with high ownership and hands-on engagement, this is your role.
