Company Overview: Dedrone is the world’s most trusted smart airspace security company. Hundreds of commercial, government and military customers around the world rely on Dedrone’s comprehensive, command and control (C2) solution 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.

We are looking for a Digital Signal Processing / Software Defined Radio Developer (m/f/x) with at least 2 years of professional experience. In this position you will be responsible for the development and expansion of our drone recognition algorithms using radio frequency (RF) analyses, and for software-defined radios (SDRs). 

You will… 

  • Design and implementation of signal-processing software components used to detect and locate drones using RF analyses in real time. 
  • Analysis and feature extraction from within the frequency spectrum using common SDR frameworks. 
  • Optimization of the Dedrone Core Technology for recognition and error rates, performance, long-term stability, and maintainability. 

You have…

  • Completed degree in mathematics, computer science, electrical engineering, physics or similar subject, or similar completed technical vocational training. 
  • A good knowledge of digital signal processing, modulation methods and frequency analyses are a must. 
  • Ideally expert knowledge on one of the following topics: digital filters, error correction algorithms, Software Defined Radio, signal modulation, or signal reverse engineering. 
  • Good knowledge of common wireless communication systems (e.g., LTE PHY, IEEE802.11, IEEE802.15.4). 
  • Excellent programming skills in C/C++ and Python. 
  • Knowledge of parallel processing extensions like SIMD and/or CUDA are a plus. 
  • Very good knowledge of parallel computing.

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!
