Job description
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.
Job responsibilities
- Own MES administration end to end: configuration, user roles and permissions, routings, work instruction templates, and release management
- Serve as the primary point of contact with the operations team for support escalations, feature requests, and new releases
- Design, build, and maintain integrations between the MES and adjacent systems (ERP, PLM, quality, and inventory tools)
- Design and build new tools from the ground up such as a front end interface to our MES for technicians, quality systems, and eventually a custom MES.
- Define and maintain production data structures so that metrics like scrap, rework, repair, cycle time, and takt adherence are accurate and reportable
- Train technicians, leads, and engineers on the system and drive adoption across the floor
- Troubleshoot transaction failures, data discrepancies, and workflow blockers in real time so production keeps moving
- Identify and eliminate friction: reduce clicks, automate manual data entry, and continuously improve how work gets executed and recorded
