Assembly Technician

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.

Weve doubled year-over-year for two straight years, winning contracts that prove what weve 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 shouldnt require a million-dollar countermeasure.

Heres what makes us different: ZeroMark operators dont build from behind screens. Youll 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 youll shoot it, fly with it, and push it to failure. We dont tweet about changing the world-were too busy actually doing it. Watch us in action here. Dark humor required, thick skin recommended.

If you want to make an actual impact-and have some unforgettable Tuesday afternoons along the way-lets talk. Were all about delivering practical, field-tested tech, not just theories.
