Hundreds of commercial, government and defense customers around the world rely on Dedrone’s comprehensive, command and control (C2) solutions to protect against the persistent and escalating threat from drones while enabling “good” drones to fly. By leveraging AI/ML, Dedrone is the only solution that provides continuous, autonomous interrogation and verification of drones that enables both multi-sensor and multi-mitigation options onto a single fused "pane-of-glass". Whether on-premise / air-gapped or in the cloud, Dedrone customers can easily detect, track, identify, analyze, and mitigate drone threats.

  • Product Strategy: Develop and execute a comprehensive product strategy that aligns with Dedrone's vision and market demands. Stay abreast of industry trends, emerging technologies, and regulatory changes to drive product innovation and differentiation.
  • Technical Leadership: Dedrone’s EW systems present particular technical challenges somewhat unique to military and dual-use systems. A strong technical background is desired over more customer-facing qualities in this product leader. 
  • Market Analysis: Conduct thorough market research and analysis to identify customer needs, market opportunities, and competitive landscape. Gather insights from customers, stakeholders, and industry experts to inform product roadmap decisions.
  • Product Development: Collaborate with cross-functional teams including engineering, design, sales, project and program management, to define product requirements, prioritize features, and drive product development initiatives. Lead the end-to-end product lifecycle from concept to launch, ensuring timely delivery of high-quality solutions.
  • Customer Engagement: Engage with customers to understand their pain points, gather feedback, and validate product concepts. Build strong relationships with key stakeholders to drive customer-centric product development.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Stay up-to-date with regulatory requirements and standards related to drone technology and airspace security. Ensure that Dedrone's products comply with relevant regulations and certifications.

You Have...

  • Bachelor's degree in engineering, computer science, business, or related field; advanced degree preferred.
  • Proven track record of 5+ years of experience in product management or EW technology development, ideally with a focus on communication EW and navigation EW (NAVWAR), counter UAS systems, or related fields.
  • Deep understanding of drone technology, including hardware, software, sensors, and communication systems, especially communication protocols and communication theory. 
  • Strong analytical skills with the ability to translate market insights into actionable product strategies.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to effectively collaborate with cross-functional teams and engage with customers.

What We Do

Dedrone is a leader in airspace security. With more customers around the world than any other airspace security company, we enable our clients to protect people, property, and information from the threat of drones, while enabling the “good” drones to take off (pun intended). The simple fact is that no security company can build a barrier strong enough or high enough to protect from a drone, so we need a tech solution to protect us from the persistent and escalating drone threat. At the same time, the “good” drones will dramatically improve our lives and increase GDP by completing tasks like acting as first responders, delivering medical supplies and retail packages, and more.

By combining advanced sensor-fusion technology with AI-driven pattern recognition software, our solutions enable early and reliable drone detection, pilot location and advanced warning in the event an unauthorized drone approaches a secured area. Our customers include national governments, public safety agencies, sporting stadiums, prisons, private research facilities, critical infrastructure sites like airports and power plants, data centers, VIPs and more.

Drones are the world’s new asymmetric threat to public safety and national security. Dedrone’s dual-use technology was recognized by two major awards this year. The CNBC Disruptor 50 and TIME’s Best Inventions 2023 lists both feature Dedrone as an innovative company disrupting the industry with its breakthrough capabilities and industry-leading customer list.

Dedrone is implemented across 31 countries and is used by five of the G-7 nation governments; 190 critical infrastructure sites; 40 airports; 60+ stadiums; 15+ US federal entities and 20+ non-US governments. We actively provide counterdrone solutions for some of the most high-profile events around the world, working closely with over 120 public safety agencies globally. Our technology is also in use on the front lines in Ukraine, and we are proud to support them in their fight to defend their homeland.

Why Work With Us

At Dedrone, we have a clear mission to protect people from a new threat vector. Additionally, we believe in a flat organization where individual empowerment and open communication drive a more robust and innovative solution set for our customers. We are growing rapidly with over 100% headcount growth in less than 12 months!
