The company has grown from 11 employees in 2017 to over 450 staff globally today, and is on track to reach around 550 by the end of 2026. This expansion includes investment of over A $50 million annually in R&D, a global pipeline exceeding A $2.5 billion, and continuous scaling of production capacity to meet accelerating demand. The role is based at Drone Shield’s central Sydney headquarters.
