Senior Facilities Engineer

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.

As a Senior Facilities Engineer at Neros, you will own the technical performance, reliability, and long-term development of the infrastructure supporting our manufacturing, engineering, laboratory, and office environments. You will be responsible for critical building and process systems including electrical distribution, HVAC and exhaust, compressed air, process gases, plumbing, cleanrooms, laboratories, and other utilities required to support manufacturing operations. You will work closely with Manufacturing and Engineering teams to evaluate new equipment requirements, understand infrastructure capacity, and develop solutions that allow the factory to scale. This role also owns long-term infrastructure planning, preventative maintenance strategy, facility system documentation, and the site Master Layout and as-built CAD. The ideal candidate is highly technical, field-oriented, and comfortable taking ownership of infrastructure problems from initial diagnosis through implementation.

Infrastructure & Technical Ownership

• Own the technical performance and reliability of critical facility systems including electrical distribution, switchgear, transformers, panels, HVAC, exhaust, compressed air, process gases, plumbing, cleanrooms, laboratories, and building utilities

• Evaluate facility system capacity, reliability, maintainability, and operational risk; lead troubleshooting and root-cause analysis for recurring failures

• Establish engineering standards and technical requirements for facility infrastructure

• Support commissioning, planned shutdowns, utility tie-ins, and Methods of Procedure for critical infrastructure work

• Provide engineering support during facility incidents and emergency response

Manufacturing & Equipment Infrastructure

• Partner with Manufacturing Engineering, Production, EHS, and equipment owners to define infrastructure requirements for new machines, processes, laboratories, and production work centers

• Review equipment requirements including electrical loads, compressed air, process gases, cooling water, HVAC, exhaust, drainage, clearances, and environmental requirements

• Evaluate existing infrastructure capacity and identify upgrades required to support new equipment installations

• Develop infrastructure concepts and technical scopes for machine installations, manufacturing expansions, and facility improvements

Infrastructure Strategy & Capacity Planning

• Develop and maintain the long-range infrastructure strategy supporting manufacturing growth and facility expansion

• Perform capacity planning across electrical, HVAC, compressed air, process gas, exhaust, plumbing, and other critical utility systems

• Develop technical roadmaps for major infrastructure investments including tank farms, compressors, process gas systems, switchgear, electrical distribution, HVAC, exhaust, cleanrooms, and laboratory buildouts

• Identify infrastructure constraints and future capacity requirements before they impact
