About the company
Fleetzero is a marine technology startup building hybrid and electric propulsion systems and modular marine energy storage for commercial vessels. The company positions the mission around making shipping cleaner and cheaper, and talks openly about moving fast with hands-on engineering and field testing. Recent public updates highlight a Series A raise and the opening of a manufacturing and R&D headquarters in Houston. Note: there’s a separate “FleetZero” brand in Ontario focused on fleet decarbonization consulting; this score is for the Houston-based maritime company using fleetzero.com and jobs.lever.co/fleetzero.
Locations and presence
Fleetzero lists Houston, Texas as the core hiring location, with roles largely on-site. The company also shows public presence through vessel work and manufacturing scale-up messaging tied to Houston.
Palpable Score
54.0
/ 100
Fleetzero looks strong on pay transparency for a startup, with multiple roles showing salary bands and equity language, plus a consistent ATS application flow. The biggest limiter for graduates is entry-level access: current openings skew “3+ years” and up, and the company doesn’t publish a clear junior pipeline or internship track.
Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

8.0
/ 20
  • The company lists current openings (Naval Architect, Electrical Engineer roles, Growth Manager) with experience requirements like “at least 3 years” or more, which narrows true 0–3 year access.
  • Fleetzero shows a small, specialist-heavy team structure (marine power, BMS, naval architecture), which typically means fewer junior seats at any one time.
  • The company has some early-career signals in team profiles (recent graduates in engineering roles), but those are not the same as recurring junior hiring through job ads.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

12.0
/ 20
  • The company runs hiring through Lever with a single, consistent application route and clear team buckets (Commercial, Electrical/Hardware/Embedded, ME & Naval Architecture).
  • Fleetzero publishes important candidate-facing disclosures inside job ads (salary band statement, equity note, EEO language, and an AI-tools notice in hiring).
  • The company does not publish the interview stages, timelines, or assessment expectations, so early-career candidates can’t pre-judge process burden before applying.

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

11.0
/ 20
  • The company frames engineering work as iterative “test early and often” development with hands-on prototyping and field testing, which can be strong learning-by-doing.
  • Fleetzero places roles in tight cross-functional collaboration (battery systems, firmware integration, shipyard and commissioning exposure), which can accelerate skill growth when coaching is present.
  • The company does not publish concrete early-career support mechanics like onboarding plans, buddy systems, 1:1 cadence, or review cycles, and the “long hours” framing adds risk for juniors without guardrails.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

15.0
/ 20
  • The company posts salary ranges directly in multiple roles (for example, the Marine Electrical Engineer and Naval Architect postings show base salary bands).
  • Fleetzero states that highly competitive equity grants are included in most full-time offers, which is a meaningful stability signal when paired with clear cash pay.
  • The company does not consistently publish benefits detail (healthcare, retirement, leave) in the role pages reviewed, so pay stability can’t be scored at the very top tier.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

8.0
/ 20
  • The company does not publish early-career outcomes like promotion timelines, retention over 12–24 months, or internship-to-offer conversion rates.
  • Fleetzero shares product and scaling milestones (facility opening and funding), but those updates don’t show how junior hires typically progress in scope and title.
  • The company’s public team profiles (including at least one recent graduate in an engineering role) suggest some junior entry has happened, but it’s too small a sample to treat as a repeatable outcome pattern.
