No PowerPoints. No hype. Just field-proven technology that saves lives.\nWe'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.\nHere'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 actionhere. Dark humor required, thick skin recommended.\nIf 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.\nWhat You'll Do\nAs 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:\nCircuit Design: Architecting and implementing complex analog and digital circuits for RF, power management, signal processing, and control systems.\n\nPCB Layout: Designing multi-layer printed circuit boards (PCBs) with a focus on signal integrity, power delivery, and manufacturability.\n\nComponent Selection: Identifying and evaluating electronic components, ensuring optimal performance, reliability, and cost-effectiveness.\n\nPrototyping & Testing: Building and testing prototypes, performing rigorous validation and verification to ensure designs meet stringent performance and reliability requirements.\n\nFirmware & Software Collaboration: Working closely with firmware and software engineers to integrate hardware and ensure seamless system functionality.\n\nTroubleshooting & Optimization: Diagnosing and resolving hardware issues, and continuously optimizing designs for performance, efficiency, and robustness.\n\nDocumentation: Creating comprehensive design documentation, schematics, layouts, and test procedures.\n\nWhat You’ll Need\nWe're seeking a highly motivated and skilled Electrical Design Engineer with:\nEducation: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.\n\nExperience: 5+ years of experience in electrical hardware design, preferably in the defense, aerospace, or related high-tech industries.\n\nTechnical Expertise:\nStrong proficiency in analog and digital circuit design.\n\nHands-on experience with PCB design tools (e.g., Altium Designer, OrCAD, Eagle).\n\nKnowledge of RF principles and high-speed digital design.\n\nExperience with microcontrollers, FPGAs, and embedded systems.\n\nFamiliarity with various communication protocols (e.g., I2C, SPI, UART, Ethernet).\n\nProficiency in using lab equipment (oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, network analyzers).\n\nProblem-Solving Skills: Excellent analytical and problem-solving abilities with a keen eye for detail.\n\nTeam Player: Ability to collaborate effectively in a dynamic, cross-functional team environment.\n\nInnovation: A passion for innovation and a desire to contribute to cutting-edge technology.\n\nSecurity Clearance: Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance (U.S. citizenship required).\n\nBonus Points\nExperience with counter-drone systems or related defense technologies.\n\nFamiliarity with DFM (Design for Manufacturability) and DFT (Design for Testability).\n\nKnowledge of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and electromagnetic interference (EMI) principles.\n\nWhat We Offer\nImpactful Work: Contribute to critical national security initiatives and make a real difference in protecting lives and assets.\n\nCutting-Edge Technology: Work on groundbreaking technologies in a rapidly evolving field.\n\nDynamic Environment: Thrive in a fast-paced, agile startup culture where your ideas are valued.\n\nGrowth Opportunities: Grow your career alongside a rapidly expanding company.\n\nCompetitive Compensation: Receive a competitive salary and benefits package.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4381,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Growth opportunities"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Artificial Intelligence","Design & Creative","Robotics"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-12T09:11:36Z"}],"liveness":{"score":7,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.26,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":103,"expected_fill_days":43,"reasons":["conf:0","stale_co","ghost","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-09-23T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/zeromark-electrical-design-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/zeromark-electrical-design-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-09-24T01:46:00Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers"}}
