System Engineer - Kinetic Drone Interception

Description

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.
