About the role

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 . 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

We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Senior Mechatronics Engineer with a specialization in robotics to join our dynamic team. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in the design, development, and integration of complex robotic systems, with a proven track record in robotics, electronics, and software. This role will be pivotal in bringing our next generation of defense-focused robotic platforms from concept to deployment.

  • Lead the design, development, and testing of advanced robotic systems, focusing on mechanical, electrical, and software integration.

  • Develop robust control algorithms and implement them on embedded systems.

  • Design and prototype custom electronic circuits and PCBs for robotic applications.

  • Conduct thorough system-level testing, validation, and verification of robotic platforms.

  • Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including mechanical, electrical, software, and systems engineers.

  • Contribute to all phases of the product development lifecycle, from concept generation to production and deployment.

  • Troubleshoot complex technical issues and implement effective solutions.

  • Stay updated with the latest advancements in robotics, mechatronics, electronics, and software technologies.

  • Mentor junior engineers and contribute to a culture of continuous learning and improvement.

What You’ll Need

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechatronics Engineering, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.

  • 8+ years of professional experience in robotics or mechatronics engineering, with a strong focus on hands-on development.

  • Proven expertise in robotic system design, including kinematics, dynamics, and control.

  • Strong proficiency in embedded systems programming (C/C++, Python) for real-time applications.

  • Extensive experience with electronic circuit design, simulation, and PCB layout (e.g., Altium Designer, Eagle, KiCad).

  • Solid understanding of sensor integration, signal processing, and data acquisition.

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

  • Familiarity with robotic operating systems (ROS) or similar middleware.

  • Demonstrated ability to work independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team.

  • Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.

  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills.

Bonus Points

  • Experience in the defense or aerospace industry.

  • Knowledge of cybersecurity principles as applied to robotic systems.

  • Experience with simulation tools (e.g., Gazebo, CoppeliaSim, MATLAB/Simulink).

  • Familiarity with compliance and regulatory standards for defense applications.

What We Offer

  • Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package.

  • Opportunities for professional development and growth.

  • Engaging work on impactful projects that contribute to national security.

  • A collaborative and innovative work environment.
