Defense drone systems and RF hardware for precision strike applications
Neros builds asymmetric defense systems focused on unmanned aerial platforms and RF subsystems. The tech stack reveals a hardware-first, embedded-systems operation: FPGA tooling (Altium, KiCad), RF/antenna simulation (HFSS, Vector Network Analyzer), drone firmware (PX4, Betaflight, Ardupilot), and ML-enabled perception (OpenCV, TensorFlow, PyTorch). The hiring mix is heavily weighted toward senior and mid-level engineers (38 of 49 roles) with meaningful signals in manufacturing and operations, suggesting the company is scaling from prototype to production while managing supply-chain and deployment velocity challenges.
Notable leadership hires: Marketing Director, Production Director, Chief Security Officer
Neros is a Los Angeles-based defense technology company founded in 2023, operating in the 51–200 employee range. The company designs and manufactures autonomous systems and RF hardware for precision-strike and tactical applications. Active projects span the full product lifecycle: R&D and validation testing, NPI builds, production ramp-up, and field demonstrations. The product portfolio includes UAV subsystems, embedded FPV drone firmware, and end-to-end RF system design. Primary pain points center on production scaling, time-to-deployment, and manufacturability at cost—typical constraints for a young hardware company transitioning from prototype to volume production.
Neros uses HFSS and MATLAB for RF/antenna design, Solidworks and NX for mechanical CAD, Altium and KiCad for PCB layout, STM32 microcontrollers with C/C++/Python firmware, PX4/Betaflight/Ardupilot drone autopilot stacks, and TensorFlow/PyTorch for perception systems.
Active projects include UAV subsystem design and production, embedded firmware for FPV drones, end-to-end RF system design, NPI builds, production ramp-up, field demonstrations, and validation testing—spanning R&D through field deployment.
