DroneShield (ASX:DRO) develops market-leading counter-drone solutions used by military organisations, government agencies, airports, critical infrastructure operators, and law enforcement operating in some of the most challenging and high-stakes environments in the world. Employees work at the forefront of innovation, solving complex technical problems and delivering mission-critical capabilities where performance, reliability, and speed matter.

As an ASX200-listed company and the world's only publicly listed pure-play counter-drone business, DroneShield is experiencing rapid growth. Revenue increased from A$57 million in 2024 to more than A$217 million in 2025, supported by record profitability, a global sales pipeline exceeding A$2.5 billion, and annual R&D investment of over A$50 million.

Since 2017, DroneShield has grown from 11 employees to more than 550 globally, with operations across Australia, the United States, Europe, and the Middle East, supporting customers in over 70 countries.

The role is based at DroneShield's Sydney headquarters, which houses corporate, commercial, engineering, and operational teams supporting the company's global growth and customer base.

About the role DroneShield is on the lookout for a Systems Engineer to join our innovative product development team in Sydney. Reporting directly to the Systems Engineering Lead, this role offers an exceptional opportunity for a results-driven professional to make a significant impact in a rapidly growing, niche market.

This role will see you contribute directly to the development of current and future generation products through effective requirements elicitation, analysis, and management through collaboration with the engineering development teams. If you’re someone who has a passion for product development, building complex systems through a deep understanding of stakeholder needs and empowering engineering teams to work towards common development goals while being afforded a high degree of autonomy and responsibility for these outcomes, we’d love to talk more.

  • Manage the documentation for system design, requirements and test strategies, specifically focusing on integration testing to ensure that subsystems work together to meet the overall system needs.
  • Collaborate with senior stakeholders to communicate technical concepts and risks, resolve problems, ensure alignment and influence decision-making on technical issues.
  • Ensure continual improvement of the products and seamless integration of systems elements and interfaces, driving alignment to achieve desired system outcomes.
  • Identify, assess and manage risks at a technical, product and project level.
  • Support the development and introduction of systems engineering processes that promote best practices and provide a framework for product development, seeking to increase efficiency and improve project outcomes.

Qualifications, Experience and Skills

  • BEng/BSc or Masters degree in relevant engineering discipline (Systems Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science), or similar technical field of study or equivalent practical experience.
  • 2+ years of experience performing systems engineering responsibilities within complex product development environments.
  • Sound understanding of the application of systems engineering frameworks, principles and tools across the entire product development lifecycle.
  • Experience with requirements management for complex software and hardware products or features.
  • Demonstrated ability to work independently and within a team environment on work packages and deliverables to achieve project outcomes.
  • Excel in a high empowerment, fast paced, agile environment, surrounded by likeminded, high achieving people.

Nice to have

  • Experience developing and testing hardware and software systems relating to Electronic Warfare, Command and Control, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, RF sensing, Sensor Fusion and distributed systems is desirable.
  • Familiarity with benchmarking pipelines and interpreting results and metrics
  • An understanding of cybersecurity practices in systems engineering to ensure the integrity and security of systems is desirable.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
