Director of Business Development

Director of Business Development, Defense & Aerospace ZeroDrift Technologies, and sister co, SBQuantum · US-based (remote) · Full-time · Travel 25–50% About SBQuantum SBQuantum (ZeroDrift Technologies) builds diamond-based vectorial quantum magnetometers that, combined with AI-driven interpretation, deliver precision magnetic intelligence where GPS, radar, and sonar fail — enabling magnetic navigation (MagNav), anomaly detection, and mapping for defense, aerospace, autonomous systems, and space. We're a 25-person team of physicists, engineers, and data scientists, recently funded and scaling. We've moved past the lab: sensors are sold and deployed with government customers, and paid pilots are underway with defense and aerospace partners, while our sensing hardware is already orbiting the Earth in LEO. The Mission You will be our first full-time business development hire, owning our most strategic market: Tier 1 defense primes, inertial navigation system (INS) manufacturers, drone/autonomous platform OEMs, and US and Canadian government programs. Your job: get our quantum magnetometer designed into next-generation navigation and sensing systems — shaping requirements before RFPs are written, landing funded evaluations and joint development agreements, and building the capture pipeline that carries us from pilots to production programs. You report to the CEO, inherit a live pipeline (not a cold start), and grow into VP of Business Development as we scale. What You'll Do Ow
