About Neuron Industries
America deserves abundance.
Neuron Industries is rebuilding industrial automation from the hardware up. We’re building Cortex AIC, an AI-native industrial controller, and Synapse, the development environment engineers use to program, test, deploy, and debug it.
We build the hardware and software together. Our work makes industrial systems easier to develop and dependable on the factory floor.
Come help us build the next generation of American manufacturing.
About the role
You’ll connect Cortex to working industrial machines. You’ll design and build control panels, integrate field devices, develop controls applications, and commission systems at customer sites.
You’ll also build the internal test systems and reference designs our software team uses to develop the product. What you learn at the machine will become better hardware, clearer documentation, and actionable software improvements.
Customer travel: approximately 50% or more, as needed.
What you’ll build
• Design electrical schematics, panel layouts, wiring diagrams, and BOMs, from 24 VDC I/O to 480 V three-phase loads.
• Build internal test systems with motors, VFDs, pneumatics, sensors, and safety circuits.
• Integrate remote I/O, drives, HMIs, and field devices across industrial networks.
• Write controls applications for pilots and demos in Neuron’s development environment.
• Commission systems through point-to-point checkout, I/O validation, tuning, and safety verification.
• Document reusable panel designs, grounding and shielding practices, and troubleshooting procedures.
• Improve the product by reproducing field issues and working with hardware and software engineers on fixes.
What you’ve already proven
• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Controls Engineering, Automation Engineering, Mechatronics, Robotics, or Mechanical Engineering with a controls emphasis.
• You’ve designed and physically built a working control system, including a panel, field wiring, and controller application code.
• You can explain your personal contribution to a commissioning or integration project and an issue you resolved.
• Practical electrical fundamentals: conductor sizing, protection, motors, grounding, and noise troubleshooting.
• Experience with industrial networks, drives, sensors, and safety circuits.
• You debug at the machine with instruments, find root causes, and document fixes clearly.
• You can work directly with customers and travel approximately 50% or more as needed.
What gets you here faster
• System integration, plant controls, or customer-site commissioning experience.
• Industrial networks, servo systems, or coordinated motion.
• Panel certification or machine safety experience, including UL 508A, NFPA 79, or ISO 13849.
Compensation
The base pay range for this role is $140,000 – $200,000 per year.
How we work
We’re a small team with ambitious goals and a lot to build. We work together in Gardena, move quickly, and take ownership of what we ship. Some days run into the evening as we work through hard problems and get improvements into customers’ hands. We’re looking for people who enjoy that pace and help each other deliver.
We use AI tools throughout engineering to accelerate research, implementation, testing, and documentation. We check the results and remain accountable for what ships.
What you get
• Real ownership. Meaningful equity alongside your base salary. You’ll help build the company and share in the value we create.
• Health, fully covered. 100% employer-paid medical, dental, and vision.
• Time to recharge. Unlimited paid time off.
• Fuel for builders. Catered lunch and dinner, plus stocked snacks and drinks throughout the day.
Interview process
• Recruiter conversation
• Technical discussion
• Onsite with the team
