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.

6+ years of experience in federal communications within Congress, executive branch, or defense related journalism

Strong existing relationships with think-tanks and national level journalists
Proven ability to translate complex technical issues into compelling narratives
Excellent communication, negotiation, and public speaking skills
