How much do counter drone jobs pay per hour?
What is the difference between Counter Drone vs Drone Technician?
| Aspect | Counter Drone | Drone Technician |
|---|---|---|
| Required Certifications | Counter-UAS certifications, security clearances | Drone pilot licenses, FAA certifications |
| Work Environment | Security, military, or government settings | Industrial, commercial, or recreational drone operations |
| Industry Usage | Security, defense, anti-drone systems | Drone maintenance, repair, and operation |
Counter Drone professionals focus on detecting and neutralizing unauthorized drones, often working in security or defense environments. Drone Technicians maintain and repair drones used in various industries. While both roles involve drones, Counter Drone specialists emphasize security and countermeasures, whereas Drone Technicians concentrate on drone operation and maintenance.

Job description
ZeroMark builds AI-driven counter-drone systems that actually work in combat. No PowerPoints. No hype. Just field-proven technology that saves lives.
We've doubled year-over-year for two straight years, winning contracts that prove what we've always known: real innovation happens in the dirt, not in conference rooms. Our systems transform standard weapons into AI-powered platforms that detect, track, and neutralize drone threats-because a $200 drone shouldn't require a million-dollar countermeasure.
Here's what makes us different: ZeroMark operators don't build from behind screens. You'll validate tech from Blackhawk helicopters, train alongside Tier-1 units (who happen to be our coworkers), and test at legendary ranges from White Sands to the cliffs of Hawaii. When we say field-tested, we mean you'll shoot it, fly with it, and push it to failure. We don't tweet about changing the world-we're too busy actually doing it. Watch us in action here. Dark humor required, thick skin recommended.
If you want to make an actual impact-and have some unforgettable Tuesday afternoons along the way-let's talk. We're all about delivering practical, field-tested tech, not just theories.
What You'll Do
- Design, develop, test, and deploy robust and scalable software solutions for counter-drone systems.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including hardware engineers, data scientists, and subject matter experts, to define system requirements and architecture.
- Implement algorithms for drone detection, tracking, identification, and mitigation.
- Optimize software for real-time performance and resource efficiency in embedded and distributed environments.
- Participate in code reviews, contribute to architectural discussions, and maintain high code quality standards.
- Troubleshoot and debug software issues, ensuring system reliability and performance.
- Stay up-to-date with emerging technologies and industry best practices in software development and counter-drone capabilities.
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.
- Proven experience in software development, preferably in a defense, aerospace, or security-related domain.
- Proficiency in one or more programming languages such as C++, Python, or Java.
- Strong understanding of data structures, algorithms, and object-oriented design principles.
- Experience with embedded systems, real-time operating systems (RTOS), or distributed systems is a plus.
- Familiarity with signal processing, computer vision, or machine learning concepts is highly desirable.
- Excellent problem-solving skills and a strong analytical mindset.
- Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, collaborative team environment.
- U.S. citizenship is required due to government contract requirements.
- Experience with sensor integration (e.g., radar, optical, acoustic).
- Knowledge of communication protocols and networking.
- Familiarity with cybersecurity principles and secure coding practices.
- Experience with Agile development methodologies.
- Competitive salary, equity, and benefits package.
- Opportunity to work on cutting-edge technology with a significant impact on national security.
- A collaborative work environment that values innovation.
- Professional development opportunities and career growth.
