About US

ZeroMark builds AI-driven counter-drone systems that actually work in combat. No PowerPoints. No hype. Just field-proven technology that saves lives.

We've doubled year-over-year for two straight years, winning contracts that prove what we've always known: real innovation happens in the dirt, not in conference rooms. Our systems transform standard weapons into AI-powered platforms that detect, track, and neutralize drone threats—because a $200 drone shouldn't require a million-dollar countermeasure.

Here's what makes us different: ZeroMark operators don't build from behind screens. You'll validate tech from Blackhawk helicopters, train alongside Tier-1 units (who happen to be our coworkers), and test at legendary ranges from White Sands to the cliffs of Hawaii. When we say field-tested, we mean you'll shoot it, fly with it, and push it to failure. We don't tweet about changing the world—we're too busy actually doing it. Watch us in action here https://drive.google.com/file/d/1U9z2zG1nQBaMqX3pIMGM1Cn7mjaN3Pc8/view?usp=sharing. Dark humor required, thick skin recommended.

If you want to make an actual impact—and have some unforgettable Tuesday afternoons along the way—let's talk. We're all about delivering practical, field-tested tech, not just theories.

What You'll DO

• As an Electrical Design Engineer, you'll be instrumental in designing, developing, and testing the core electronic systems for our next-generation counter-drone platforms. Your responsibilities will include:

• Circuit Design: Architecting and implementing complex analog and digital circuits for RF, power management, signal processing, and control systems.

• PCB Layout: Designing multi-layer printed circuit boards (PCBs) with a focus on signal integrity, power delivery, and manufacturability.

• Component Selection: Identifying and evaluating electronic components, ensuring optimal performance, reliability, and cost-effectiveness.

• Prototyping & Testing: Building and testing prototypes, performing rigorous validation and verification to ensure designs meet stringent performance and reliability requirements.

• Firmware & Software Collaboration: Working closely with firmware and software engineers to integrate hardware and ensure seamless system functionality.

• Troubleshooting & Optimization: Diagnosing and resolving hardware issues, and continuously optimizing designs for performance, efficiency, and robustness.

• Documentation: Creating comprehensive design documentation, schematics, layouts, and test procedures.

What You’ll Need

• We're seeking a highly motivated and skilled Electrical Design Engineer with:

• Education: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.

• Experience: 5+ years of experience in electrical hardware design, preferably in the defense, aerospace, or related high-tech industries.

• Technical Expertise:

• Strong proficiency in analog and digital circuit design.

• Hands-on experience with PCB design tools (e.g., Altium Designer, OrCAD, Eagle).

• Knowledge of RF principles and high-speed digital design.

• Experience with microcontrollers, FPGAs, and embedded systems.

• Familiarity with various communication protocols (e.g., I2C, SPI, UART, Ethernet).

• Proficiency in using lab equipment (oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, network analyzers).

• Problem-Solving Skills: Excellent analytical and problem-solving abilities with a keen eye for detail.

• Team Player: Ability to collaborate effectively in a dynamic, cross-functional team environment.

• Innovation: A passion for innovation and a desire to contribute to cutting-edge technology.

• Security Clearance: Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance (U.S. citizenship required).

Bonus Points

• Experience with counter-drone systems or related defense technologies.

• Familiarity with DFM (Design for Manufacturability) and DFT (Design for Testability).

• Knowledge of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and electromagnetic interference (EMI) principles.

What WE Offer

• Impactful Work: Contribute to critical national security initiatives and make a real difference in protecting lives and assets.

• Cutting-Edge Technology: Work on groundbreaking technologies in a rapidly evolving field.

• Dynamic Environment: Thrive in a fast-paced, agile startup culture where your ideas are valued.

• Growth Opportunities: Grow your career alongside a rapidly expanding company.

• Competitive Compensation: Receive a competitive salary and benefits package.
