Electronics Engineer - Verification (AU)

Work with cutting edge AI technology, making the world a safer and more secure place. DroneShield (ASX:DRO) offers an opportunity to solve some of world’s most challenging technical problems in the rapidly growing counterdrone sector. Our customers are some of the most demanding in the world, including militaries, government agencies, airports, critical infrastructure, law enforcement and many others. The counterdrone sector is rapidly changing, with DroneShield being in an arms race against state-backed drone manufacturers globally. With one of the largest listed defence company market capitalisations in Australia, now part of the ASX200 index, DroneShield is experiencing a period of hypergrowth. Revenue has surged from A$57 million in 2024 to over A$190 million in 2025, representing growth of more than 400% year-on-year, with record profitability and cashflow. The total addressable global market for counterdrone is assessed at approximately $100 billion, and is currently at the nascent stage with much of the growth still to come, with DroneShield well positioned as a global market leader, and the only public listed pure-play business in this sector. 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 DroneShield’s central Sydney headquarters. Overseas on-the-ground presence includes Virginia (USA), Netherlands, Denmark, Mexico and Dubai, as well as distributors in over 70 countries worldwide. About the role Reporting to the Electronics Support Team Lead, this role is part of the Electronics and Embedded Systems function, supporting the delivery of fully operational and qualified modular devices that enable advanced RF-based sensors and effectors. These modules are reused across man-portable, vehicle-mounted and fixed-site configurations, and require rigorous verification, validation and performance characterisation across complex wideband RF circuitry, high-speed digital interfaces and high-power RF output stages. The organisation designs and builds the complete signal chain from signal generation through to the antenna. This role is responsible for the verification, validation, reliability and manufacturing readiness of electronic subsystems and systems. It combines hands-on hardware engineering with structured validation planning, production support and legacy product sustainment to ensure robust performance across the product lifecycle. This is a hands-on engineering role requiring strong technical depth, structured validation capability and a practical approach to supporting both development and production environments. Responsibilities, Duties and Expectations Developing and executing verification and validation plans for electronic subsystem assemblies and system-level hardware Performing electronics verification activities, performance characterisation and hardware design validation at both modular and system level Supporting legacy products through fault finding, root cause analysis and implementation of reliability improvements Designing hardware with consideration for manufacturing, EMC and long-term reliability Creating manufacturing test specifications and supporting production setup and debugging Building, prototyping and testing new and existing products Liaising with suppliers to support procurement activities and enforce quality control procedures Applying sound industry practices for documentation and quality control Maintaining and organising hardware laboratory equipment Ensuring engineering teams have reliable, fully operational equipment to support development activities Effectively managing workload and priorities to meet key business objectives Qualifications, Experience and Skills BS degr ...
