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.

  • Collaborate with engineers on air and ground systems, assisting in design feedback, testing, and refinement
  • Develop a deep understanding of system integration and functionality
