Autonomy Mechatronics Engineer (Hardware & Test)

Neros Technologies • El Segundo, CA

7h • $100,000 - $130,000

About The Position

As an Autonomy Mechatronics Engineer (Hardware & Test), you will own the physical stack that enables autonomy at Neros. You will design, integrate, and test mechanical systems that directly enable autonomous behavior, then prove them under realistic operating conditions. This role spans early-stage concept work through field testing, with direct ownership of both the hardware and the experimental loop. We are looking for engineers who are comfortable moving between CAD, code, in-field testing, and production, and who have demonstrated exceptional ability across the full robotics stack.

Requirements

• 2+ years of professional experience in mechanical engineering, robotics, or mechatronics roles, with direct ownership of shipped hardware systems
• Strong proficiency in mechanical design and CAD (e.g., SolidWorks, NX, or equivalent), including tolerance analysis and production drawings
• Hands-on experience designing and executing hardware test campaigns, including lab, environmental, and field testing
• Demonstrated ability to debug complex, cross-disciplinary issues involving mechanical systems, sensors, controls, and embedded software
• Experience with rapid prototyping methods (CNC, sheet metal, composites, additive manufacturing) and iterative design cycles
• Working knowledge of structural, thermal, or dynamic analysis using FEA or first-principles calculations
• Familiarity with autonomy or robotics systems (UAVs, UGVs, or similar), including an understanding of how mechanical design impacts sensing and control performance
• Experience supporting manufacturing and scale-up, including build procedures, fixtures, and collaboration with contract manufacturers or suppliers

Nice To Haves

• Experience running a test qualification campaign for a robotic or drone product
• Experience characterizing sensors

Responsibilities

• Own autonomy-critical mechanical subsystems from concept through testing and deployment
• Design, build, and execute test infrastructure and field experiments to validate real-world performance
• Diagnose and resolve cross-disciplinary failures across mechanics, autonomy, sensing, and manufacturing
