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 threatsbecause 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 worldwe're too busy actually doing it. Dark humor required, thick skin recommended.

If you want to make an actual impactand have some unforgettable Tuesday afternoons along the waylet's talk. We're all about delivering practical, field?tested tech, not just theories.
