ZPM Launchpad - building the next silicon era
Light. Motion. Perception.
Every revolution in technology starts with a new way to feel the world. Transistors let silicon compute. Now, we’re teaching it to sense – with light. At Zero Point Motion, we use light instead of electrons to measure motion with extraordinary precision - creating chips that will replace those inside today’s cars and phones and power tomorrow’s autonomous robots, smart glasses, and intelligent homes.
By fusing photonics and MEMS on a silicon chip, we’re building a new class of sensor that operates at the speed and accuracy of light.
ZPM Launchpad is a three-month programme for technical graduates, early-career engineers, and candidates with 2-3 years of experience transitioning from a different domain.
Our work sits at the intersection of cutting-edge technology and an early-stage startup environment. Because of this, we’ve created Launchpad to support engineers in building context, depth, and impact quickly.
Launchpad has two routes depending on prior experience:
ZPM Launchpad - Graduate
ZPM Launchpad - Residency
While the routes differ, both are designed around a common goal: enabling participants to deliver impactful work at ZPM’s pace within a short period of time. Rather than aiming for broad exposure across all disciplines, Launchpad focuses on helping participants develop meaningful depth in a specific technical area, while gaining sufficient context across our core technologies - photonics, MEMS, electronics, process, and lab - and how we work as a technical team.
Candidates who successfully complete Launchpad will be considered for a permanent, full-time role at the end of the programme with significant opportunity for growth.
