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.

If you're looking for a role that combines deep technology, ownership, and real-world impact - this is your opportunity.

You’ll join a team developing an operational, field-proven product that continues to evolve rapidly. This role offers real ownership and the chance to shape system architecture while working close to hardware and mission-critical environments.

What You’ll Do

  • Design and develop embedded software in Python and C++
  • Work in a Linux-based environment, interacting directly with hardware and sensors
  • Integrate algorithmic components, including math-based logic when required
  • Debug complex issues across software, OS, and hardware layers
  • Collaborate with system, hardware, and algorithm teams
  • Support system integration and field testing

Why This Role is Unique

  • End-to-end ownership of meaningful system components
  • Work on UAV and defense technologies
  • Blend low-level development with system-level thinking
  • Contribute to real-world, operational deployments

Who This is For

Senior engineers who want to take ownership, work close to the system level, and build technology that operates in the real world.

  • Build real, end-to-end systems
  • Take part in developing a new product from early stages
  • See their code come to life in real-world missions

Requirements

  • 4+ years of hands-on experience in Python/ C++ development
  • Experience working in Linux environments
  • Strong problem-solving and debugging skills
  • Ability to implement algorithmic or mathematical logic
  • Hands-on approach and adaptability in a fast-paced environment
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field

Nice to Have

  • Background in computer vision
  • Experience with signal processing
  • Experience in UAV / drone / aeronautics domains

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.
