Job description

Before superintelligence, there must be super sensing.

Zero Point Motion is building a fundamentally new inertial sensing platform. Despite the importance of inertial and semiconductor sensors to autonomy, robotics, and navigation, the field remains conservative, fragmented, and poorly explained.

The Technical Evangelist & Market Strategist owns how Zero Point Motion is understood - technically, commercially, and culturally. Not by selling harder, but by defining the narrative with enough clarity, credibility, and technical authority that the market follows.

The Role

As a Technical Evangelist & Market Strategist, you are the public technical brain and voice of Zero Point Motion. You are not a salesperson. You are not a conventional marketer.

You own how our technology, category, and competitive position are understood by customers, partners, and the wider ecosystem. Your output is not leads - it is market clarity, narrative advantage, and technical authority.

What You’ll Do

Own market and competitive understanding

• Maintain a deep, current understanding of:
  • inertial sensing and navigation markets
  • autonomy and robotics stacks
  • adjacent sensing and semiconductor platforms
• Track competitors rigorously:
  • how their systems actually work
  • who they sell to and why
  • how they position themselves
• Identify where the market is confused, underserved, or misled.

Shape and own the technical narrative and taste

• Define and evolve Zero Point Motion’s technical story:
  • where existing inertial sensing falls short
  • why current MEMS approaches have plateaued
  • why a new semiconductor platform changes what’s possible
• Produce high-quality technical content, including:
  • white papers
  • technical explainers
  • application notes and specifications
  • grant and partner-facing technical material
• Translate deep engineering work into clear positioning, accurate explanations, compelling visuals
• Maintain exceptionally high standards for accuracy, clarity, and intellectual honesty.
• Represent Zero Point Motion in technical and market-facing settings
• Act as a technical detective to ask sharp questions, uncover real customer needs, separate signal from noise.

Required Background

You bring:

• A deep technical background in one or more of:
  • inertial sensing
  • navigation
  • robotics
  • GNSS
  • motion and dynamics
• Strong understanding of foundational technologies such as:
  • semiconductors and transistors
  • sensors and signal processing
  • lasers and photonics (conceptual level)
• Demonstrated examples of high-quality technical writing that is externally visible.
• Confidence speaking publicly about complex technical topics.
• Ability to learn unfamiliar technical domains quickly.
• Strong personal organisation and pattern recognition across people and conversations.
• Comfort using CRMs and market-tracking tools as instruments of insight, not bureaucracy.

Who This Role Is For

This role is for someone who:

• Is deeply technical and deeply curious about markets.
• Believes technology wins when it is explained properly.
• Enjoys analysing competitors and exposing narrative weaknesses.
• Is articulate, thoughtful, and comfortable in conversation.
• Wants to help define - not just participate in - a new category.

This role requires intrinsic motivation, judgment, and conviction.

What This Role Is Not

This is not a quota-carrying sales role, a generic marketing job, a copywriting-only role.

If you are uncomfortable with technical depth, ambiguity, or strategic responsibility, this is not a fit.

What Success Looks Like

After 6–12 months:

• Zero Point Motion is clearly positioned as a new sensing category, not “another MEMS company”.
• The competitive landscape is understood internally with clarity and honesty.
• Our technical content is trusted, referenced, and clearly authoritative.
• Events and external engagements feel coherent, confident, and intentional.
• Market and customer insights are captured, synthesised, and fed back into strategy.
• Engineers, partners, and customers say: “They understand this space better than anyone and explain it better too.”

Working with us

• Compensation: Our framework is built on fairness and transparency, with regular reviews to reflect growth and performance.
• Benefits: Share options, pension, and private medical insurance.
• Culture: A deep-tech rocketship backed by leading investors. We’re building breakthrough technology with real commercial impact. Pace is high. Standards are higher.

Zero Point Motion is determined to foster belonging and empowerment at work. We are committed to providing a work environment where there’s a zero-tolerance approach to discrimination, and everyone is treated with respect. Equity, diversity and inclusion are central to our mission, and we strongly encourage candidates of all different backgrounds and identities to apply.
