Build high-performance energy and material systems to propel civilization forward.

Zero Point Energy Labs designs and manufactures advanced energy and material systems for robotics, aerospace, and defense. We implement new ways of thinking about technologies that exist today—enhancing them and combining them to create new variations with higher performance, improved reliability, and stronger real-world utility.

We operate from first principles. We care about measurable outcomes, clean execution, and disciplined build quality—from research and design through production and test.

Why work with us

First principles, real systems

We bring physics, materials, and engineering together to build hardware that performs under constraints.

Quality is the culture

We document well, measure what matters, and build with precision. Reliability is non-negotiable.

Fast iteration, high standards

We move quickly without cutting corners. If something breaks, we fix the root cause and improve the system.
