Mechanical Design Engineer

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 Mechanical Design Engineer to join our Electronic Warfare R&D team and work on mechanical development of advanced counter-UAV detection and jamming systems. 

Key Responsibilities
