About the company:

Zero Homes is building the industry's most advanced digital-first home upgrade platform, enabling high-fidelity Heat Pump and electrification design, entirely remotely. 

Using your smartphone and powered by our high-precision design platform, we generate a full digital model of your home, removing the need for contractor site visits and slashing design costs. We’re not just offering estimates—we’re producing buildable, ACCA-certified Manual J® load calculations that rival or exceed traditional field methods for heat pump sizing, as validated by the Department of Energy. And we're not stopping at heat pumps. Our Remote Quote process unlocks pricing, equipment selection, and savings forecasts in a fraction of the time through a seamless homeowner experience.

About Zero Homes 
 
Our mission is to electrify the world’s homes for healthy and sustainable living. Residential electrification is an extraordinary decarbonization opportunity - 145 million homes in the United States account for 20% of our climate emissions. But today, electrification is painful - it’s too complicated, time consuming, and expensive. So we’re building a new experience for homeowners, contractors, and utilities. Zero bridges the gap between the digital and the physical with a frictionless experience that makes electrification fast, easy, and affordable.  Join our team to build a world class consumer experience that just so happens to electrify America.

Ultimately, Designers will be responsible for establishing quality control processes that ensure all designs and heat pump solutions going to customers meet Zero Homes’ rigorous standards.
