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.
