Your Impact
New Ventures is a department within Axon that drives innovation through dedicated R&D and rapid prototyping. Among its most rapidly expanding areas is the development of robotics for law enforcement and tactical use. Following Axon's acquisition of Sky-Hero, the leading Brussels-based provider of tactical UAVs and UGVs, our focus has intensified on creating cutting-edge indoor aerial and ground drones for elite tactical teams in law enforcement and military special operations.
We are seeking a Signal Processor Engineer to support the Sky-Hero team in Brussels, taking a key role in the selection and integration of advanced sensing technologies, as well as implementation of latest signal processing features on cutting edge UAV and UVG reconnaissance products. Drones are already a vital tool to ensure safer and better outcomes for both law enforcement officers and the communities they serve. Axon is in a unique position to build the ecosystem to accelerate this trend and to leverage the latest developments in drone technology to protect life.
