Deployment engineer Jobs in Oakville, ON

Join Axon and be a Force for Good.

At Axon, we're on a mission to Protect Life. We're explorers, pursuing society's most critical safety and justice issues with our ecosystem of devices and cloud software. Like our products, we work better together. We connect with candor and care, seeking out diverse perspectives from our customers, communities and each other.

Life at Axon is fast-paced, challenging and meaningful. Here, you'll take ownership and drive real change. Constantly grow as you work hard for a mission that matters at a company where you matter.

Your Impact

This role sits at the center of Axon's Real-Time Awareness (RTA) strategy, helping customers bring together drone detection, live video, and real-time intelligence into a unified operational picture. While Dedrone is a core component, you'll support the deployment and adoption of a broader ecosystem that includes Fusus, Drone as First Responder (DFR), and other emerging technologies.

Axon's RTA solutions enable public safety and security teams to detect, track, and respond to incidents as they unfold. Dedrone provides critical airspace awareness and drone detection, which, when integrated with real-time awareness platforms, gives agencies a more complete and actionable view of their environment. This role will directly support our customers ensuring they can make faster, better-informed decisions to protect their communities and critical infrastructure.
