Dedrone, now part of Axon, is the global leader in smart airspace security, protecting critical infrastructure, military installations, and public spaces worldwide. Our comprehensive command and control (C2) solution safeguards hundreds of commercial, government, and military customers from unauthorized drone threats while enabling secure drone operations. Through AI‑powered technology, we deliver continuous, autonomous drone detection, tracking, and mitigation capabilities, all unified on a single integrated platform.

Our battle‑tested solutions combine multi‑sensor detection and mitigation options to defend against emerging airspace threats, while supporting authorized drone operations, including public safety and first responder missions.

Whether deployed on‑premise, air‑gapped, or in the cloud, Dedrone provides unmatched protection for sensitive sites, facilities, and communities worldwide.

As Senior Product Manager for Hardware at Dedrone, you will own the product strategy and execution for a designated hardware product or product line within Dedrone's counter‑drone portfolio — which spans RF sensors, radars, cameras, effectors, trailers, and supporting infrastructure. This is a hands‑on role where you will work closely with hardware engineering, RF and electrical teams, manufacturing, and field operations to define requirements, drive development, and deliver rugged, high‑performance products to military, government, and commercial customers worldwide.

You will translate complex customer needs and operational realities into clear hardware product roadmaps, balancing technical feasibility, cost, regulatory requirements, and time‑to‑market. This role offers a unique opportunity to shape the next generation of counter‑drone hardware at the intersection of defense technology and commercial innovation.

Location: This role is based out of our Sterling, VA Office and follows a hybrid schedule. We rely on in‑person collaboration and ask that team members work onsite Tuesdays through Fridays, with the flexibility to work remotely on Mondays, unless there is an approved workplace accommodation. Our in‑office culture is designed to foster meaningful teamwork, mentorship, and shared success.
