Electrical Engineer III, Design Assurance

Neros Technologies•Torrance, CA

14d•$136,500 - $191,500

About The Position

Neros is a defense technology company that designs and manufactures high-performance unmanned systems. The Electrical Engineer III, Design Assurance will bring up, characterize, and validate circuit boards for next-generation airside and groundside platforms. The role includes writing and running test plans, contributing to worst-case circuit analysis from schematic-level calculations and simulation through bench validation, and designing fixtures and automated test setups. The engineer will work with design engineers during product development and feed test results back into the design.

Requirements

At least 4 years of experience in electrical hardware engineering, including hands-on bench validation of circuit boards.
Experience with board bring-up and characterization, including writing test plans and reports.
Proficiency with bench instrumentation, including oscilloscopes, logic and protocol analyzers, power supplies, electronic loads, DMMs, and spectrum analyzers.
Board-level design experience, including schematics and PCBs designed by the candidate; test fixtures and test boards count.
Circuit analysis across analog, digital, and power-supply circuits, including hand calculations, tolerance analysis, and SPICE simulation (LTspice or similar).
Test automation and data analysis experience in Python or similar.
Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or a related field.

Nice To Haves

Signal and power integrity simulation (HyperLynx, SIwave, or similar) and bench measurement experience, such as TDR, VNA, and eye diagrams.
Hands-on WCCA and component derating on production hardware.
Previous HALT/HASS, environmental, or EMC pre-compliance testing experience.
Production test development with a contract manufacturer.
Background in UAV, aerospace, automotive, defense, or medical device hardware.

Responsibilities

Bring up, characterize, and validate new circuit boards against requirements.
Contribute to worst-case circuit analysis, from schematic-level calculations and simulation through post-layout checks and bench validation, and feed measured results back into the analysis.
Write and execute test plans, procedures, and reports.
Design and build test fixtures, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) setups, and automated test scripts.
Run qualification and reliability testing, including thermal, vibration, and HALT/HASS testing, and support root-cause analysis on failures.
Provide design-for-test (DFT) input to design engineers during product development.
