# Electrical Design Engineer at Zeromark

- **Company:** Zeromark
- **Location:** New York, NY
- **Employment:** full-time
- **Work type:** onsite
- **Posted:** 2026-06-11
- **Last confirmed live:** 2026-09-10

## Job description

## 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.
