I would agree with a lot of HN posts here, but I have a few additions. You say your job is in such a niche market - is there something missing from this market? Maybe use your specialty knowledge in your favor by coming up with a good startup idea. A lot of people don't like him, but maybe read a little bit of James Altucher - he has large sections about happiness and quiting if you are not happy. Now, this job might not be the cause of your sadness/depression/burnout, but I doubt it is helping. If you want to email me to bounce some ideas off - feel free. Whatever you decide to do, best of luck. I hope you find what you're looking for.
