Facilities Technician

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

As a Facilities Technician at Neros, you will support day-to-day facility operations, preventative maintenance, repairs, incident response, and small infrastructure projects in a fast-paced manufacturing environment. You will work directly with mechanical, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, compressed air, and general building systems to keep our manufacturing, laboratory, and office spaces safe and operational. This is a highly hands-on role that moves between preventative maintenance, troubleshooting facility issues, supporting equipment installations, responding to incidents, and completing small facility improvements. The ideal candidate is comfortable working with their hands, troubleshooting problems independently, operating facility equipment, and supporting manufacturing teams in an environment where priorities can change quickly.
