Systems Software Engineer

Neros Technologies•Torrance, CA

About The Position

Neros is seeking a talented individual to design and own the software frameworks that exercise our drones from the first prototype to full-scale deployment. This high-impact role reports directly to our Head of NPI & Test and offers an opportunity to build modular, scalable test libraries for cutting-edge defense tech.

Requirements

B.S. in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or Electrical Engineering with a strong software focus
5+ years of experience in software development, specifically for hardware-centric applications
Expertise in Python: Deep knowledge of asynchronous programming, threading, and hardware communication libraries
Ability to read schematics and use debugging tools (Logic Analyzers, Scopes) to troubleshoot communication between your software and the hardware
Hands-on experience with hardware buses: I2C, SPI, UART, CAN, and USB
Understanding of how to abstract hardware functions into reusable software classes

Nice To Haves

Experience writing scripts for automated RF characterization or vibration spectral analysis
Ability to write or modify C/C++ firmware to add "test hooks" for the high-level automation suite

Responsibilities

Design and implement modular, object-oriented test automation frameworks in Python to control complex drone subsystems
Write and maintain low-level drivers and wrappers for lab instruments (Spectrum Analyzers, DC Power Supplies, Oscilloscopes) using SCPI, VISA, or native APIs
Develop software to sniff, parse, and analyze high-speed telemetry data to validate system-level performance
Create intuitive, high-performance Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) using frameworks for use by technicians and R&D engineers
Support the development of HIL environments, simulating sensor inputs (IMU, GPS) to validate flight control software
Implement unit testing and continuous integration (CI) for test software to ensure that "test code" is as reliable as "flight code"
