## About the role

Applicants for employment at Zeno Power must be a U.S. person. The term “U.S. Person” means (i) a U.S citizen or U.S. national; or (ii) any natural person who is a U.S. Lawful Permanent Resident (i.e., holds a Green Card), as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(20) or as a “protected individual” defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3) (i.e., admitted as a refugee or is granted asylum).

## What they're looking for

- 5–8+ years relevant experience in defense/space/hardware/robotics or adjacent deep-tech environments, growth-stage startup experience strongly preferred
- Strong operator with bias to action: able to independently scope ambiguous problems, drive research, synthesize insights, and produce exec-ready outputs quickly
- Excellent written and verbal communication, can translate complex technical and regulatory topics into clear, actionable materials
- Process builder who has implemented OKRs/KPIs and cross-functional operating rhythms, comfortable driving accountability without direct people management
- High EQ, discretion, and stakeholder management across senior leaders and technical teams
- Mission-aligned with Zeno’s government-facing, hardware/deep-tech realities, energized by remote power applications and national programs (not purely climate-first motivations)
