Jobs at Kela Technologies

Hands-on practical engineer to define system requirements and architecture, integrate hardware, software, electronics and mechanical subsystems, execute V&V testing, write engineering documentation, and collaborate with defense partners and IDF ground forces.

Lead systems engineering for a C-UAS project: define requirements and architecture, manage hardware/software/electronics integration, lead V&V testing and system qualification, coordinate with defense partners and IDF ground forces, and maintain full lifecycle engineering documentation.

Design, prototype, and iterate aerial system architecture; integrate and deploy hardware and software in office, lab, and field; support transition from prototype to mass production; ensure safety, compliance, and documentation; provide training and collaborate with R&D, manufacturing, QA, and field operations.

The role involves designing user experiences for Kela's platform, collaborating with teams to create intuitive interfaces and supporting product discovery.

Own technical customer relationships across pre- and post-sale, design and lead end-to-end integrations (APIs, auth, networking, deployments), troubleshoot complex environments, build small prototypes/adapters, and produce reusable integration assets and product feedback.

Own end-to-end procurement and logistics for precision mechanical, electronic, and fiber-optic components. Lead NPI supply chain interface, ensure BOM maturity and DfSC readiness, manage pilot runs and FAI, vet global suppliers and vendor relationships, implement Priority/CRM procurement and inventory modules, develop critical raw materials strategy, mitigate long-lead risks, and ensure international shipping compliance with defense trade regulations.

Manage and improve the company HRIS (Bob) and related systems. Design workflows, automations, and lifecycle processes; ensure data integrity and governance; build reports and dashboards; lead integrations and implementations; document configurations; troubleshoot systems and drive continuous HR operational improvements.

Design and develop production-grade software for robotics and drone platforms, integrating real-time data and ensuring scalable operations in production environments.

Provide high-level administrative and operational support to C-level executives: manage calendars, coordinate international travel, anticipate needs, handle confidential information, and serve as primary contact for internal teams and external partners while juggling multiple priorities with precision.

As a Senior System Engineer, you'll design, implement, and maintain systems for defense technology, ensuring performance, security, and compliance.

Develop end-to-end algorithms that convert multi-sensor data (LiDAR, EO/IR, IMU) into high-precision 3D maps. Research and implement classical computer vision and modern deep-learning methods, focusing on multi-view geometry, SLAM/SfM, and probabilistic estimation for defense applications.

Develop and optimize algorithms and ML pipelines for detection, classification, segmentation, and scene understanding. Conduct research on classical and deep learning methods, build and evaluate models for complex operational sensor data, and improve model training, optimization, and evaluation.

Source and engage passive technical talent for engineering and related roles using LinkedIn, GitHub, Boolean search and ATS/CRM tools; build talent pipelines, provide market insights, support recruiting events, and track sourcing metrics.

Lead end-to-end recruitment across Software, Hardware, Product, GTM, Finance, and Executive roles. Partner with hiring managers to define strategies, proactively source and map talent, use AI and data to optimize processes, build pipelines, and deliver excellent candidate experiences from outreach through offer.
