Senior Perception Engineer

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.

What you will be doing

The Senior Perception Engineer develops the perception software that allows Neros unmanned aircraft to detect, classify, and track targets from the air, working across the full perception stack rather than a single component. This role covers detection, classification, image-space tracking, and aimpoint selection on both EO and thermal imagery, delivered onto constrained onboard compute and validated against logged flight data. As one of the most senior individual contributors in the perception group, this engineer also provides design and code review across the team's work.
