Teams at Zone 5 Technologies

Lead cybersecurity architecture and implementation for embedded flight software, unmanned aircraft systems, and mission-critical defense platforms. Design secure boot, cryptographic, authentication, integrity, and communications protections; conduct threat modeling, vulnerability assessments, penetration testing coordination, and security verification. Define requirements and technical acceptance criteria, integrate security across multidisciplinary engineering teams, support DoD cybersecurity assessments, develop security documentation, and mentor engineers on secure architecture and coding.

Owns aircraft and subsystem interfaces across flight software, avionics, sensors, payloads, datalinks, and ground systems. Authors ICDs, defines interface architectures, integrates hardware and software, and leads laboratory, ground, and flight verification. Develops simulators, test harnesses, and automated integration infrastructure; troubleshoots complex failures using network and bus analysis. Coordinates multidisciplinary teams, leads anomaly resolution, supports safety-critical testing, mentors engineers, and represents integration activities in technical and customer reviews.

Own full-cycle recruiting for production and manufacturing roles, particularly within the UAS sector. Partner with hiring managers, build scalable recruiting processes, source passive candidates, maintain talent pipelines, track hiring metrics, and forecast workforce needs. The role requires recruiting expertise in aerospace, defense, engineering, or manufacturing, experience scaling startup teams, and proficiency with ATS and recruiting tools.
