# Electrical Design Engineer **Company:** [ZeroMark](https://zerogtalent.com/defense-companies/zeromark) **Location:** New York, NY **Work mode:** On-site **Employment type:** Full Time **Category:** Mechanical **Department:** Other **Listed:** 2026-03-30 [View and apply on Zero G Talent](https://zerogtalent.com/defense-jobs/zeromark/electrical-design-engineer-e7b9e463-0845-4caa-9da6-f6606ace74e6) ## 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. ## Other open roles at ZeroMark - [Senior Mechatronics Engineer (Robotics)](https://zerogtalent.com/defense-jobs/zeromark/senior-mechatronics-engineer-robotics-6da89902-7624-44ee-8ece-b2ff58354cd6) — New York, NY - [General Software Engineer](https://zerogtalent.com/defense-jobs/zeromark/general-software-engineer-a0915304-3e26-47b1-8996-e4854a61c3e0) — New York, NY - [Senior Marketing Manager](https://zerogtalent.com/defense-jobs/zeromark/senior-marketing-manager-9af455cd-ca97-44d6-98c9-5f1223e3bb23) — New York, NY - [Manufacturing Manager](https://zerogtalent.com/defense-jobs/zeromark/manufacturing-manager-e0f4aa16-7f6a-4918-9dce-82decf67b3a3) — New Jersey, NJ - [Senior Machine Learning Operations Engineer](https://zerogtalent.com/defense-jobs/zeromark/senior-machine-learning-operations-engineer-4a6678a2-a3a4-41e6-a2f6-dd3a6b01c8e6) — New York, NY --- *Source: [Zero G Talent](https://zerogtalent.com), the job board for space, defense, AI, robotics and frontier-tech companies.*
