About this Job

Regulus is an agile defense-tech startup tackling the most complex challenges in counter-drone and uncrewed defense. With hundreds of combat-proven systems deployed by the IDF and global partners, we are now engineering the next generation of C-UxS (Counter-Uncrewed Systems). We leverage advanced electronic warfare and kinetic measures to detect and neutralize hostile threats. If you want to push technological boundaries while safeguarding Israel and our allies, join us at this pivotal stage of our growth.

This is a unique opportunity to join a company at a pivotal growth stage and help shape its products, culture, and future.

We are looking for a System Engineer to join our kinetic interception team, in which we are using racer drones for C-UAS interception. This role includes interdisciplinary environment, early stages prototypes, and proof-of-concept studies.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead system-level engineering for control software within a kinetic interception (C-UAS) drone platform
  • Define requirements, architecture, and interfaces across software, hardware, and algorithms
  • Own hardware configuration and end-to-end system integration (avionics, sensors, computing, communication)
  • Support early-stage prototyping, bring-up, and proof-of-concept activities
  • Plan and execute system validation, including lab and flight tests, driving iterative improvements

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience in system in which there are closed control loops - Must
  • Practical experience in real-time systems and embedded hardware - Must
  • Flight test experience - Advantage
  • Experience with quadcopter drones or FPV systems - Advantage
  • Strong ability to collaborate across multidisciplinary teams, align stakeholders, and drive joint execution, while maintaining a high level of ownership and independence in delivering tasks end-to-end.

Regulus closes the critical gap between long-range strategic systems and the last few hundred meters of point defense, providing the autonomous last line of defense against drones and other uncrewed threats. Regulus C-UxS solutions redefine modern defense against uncrewed threats with AI-powered, decentralized mesh and point-defense systems and networks. Our soft-kill EW Ring family and the DART hard-kill interceptor can each be deployed as independent products; powered by LeC2 and Orchestra - our autonomous mesh command-and-control network - they seamlessly connect to create Ring Origami, an integrated close-in defense layer that detects, coordinates, and neutralizes current and future close-range threats in real time - with no person on the loop. While most defense startups focus on tactical-range interception (2–5 km) - an approach whose effectiveness is rapidly eroding as threats harden, communications improve, and autonomy and maneuverability increase - Regulus is building the resilient, close-range shield modern forces need around them. Strategic systems such as lasers, missiles, and other long-range interceptors remain essential for extended-range defense, a domain dominated by primes due to its complexity, cost, and long development cycles; Regulus complements these systems by securing the final meters. Built on unmatched combat experience and hundreds of combat-proven systems, Regulus is creating a scalable, multi-domain C-UxS architecture designed to outpace emerging threats. As defense and homeland security markets accelerate their demand for next-generation autonomy, Regulus is positioned to become a new-era defense leader - driving the counter-uncrewed revolution and defining the future of intelligent defense infrastructure.
