Full Job Description

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 The Facilities Manager owns the day-to-day operation and continuous improvement of Millennium One (M1), Neros's 250,000 sq ft flagship drone manufacturing factory in Torrance, CA. Reporting to the Head of Production, this hands-on role is responsible for driving M1 from active build-out into steady-state production and keeping the physical plant a force multiplier for the factory rather than a bottleneck. As the site scales, this role also owns building out the facilities team from its current two-person base. Responsibilities Plan and manage construction and capital improvement projects at M1, from minor repairs and reconfigurations through major buildouts, coordinating contractors and vendors and leading the handoff from construction into active operations Operate and continuously improve M1's infrastructure, including MEP systems, equipment installation and qualification, environmental controls, floor plan layouts, and physical workflow design that support production rate targets Build, scale, and maintain the site's CMMS, standing up the asset registry, preventive maintenance (PM) schedules, and work order workflows, and using the data to drive uptime and inform reliability and CapEx decisions Partner with the EHS team to plan travel and safety lanes and execute site-level EHS
