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 kinetic interception team, in which we are using racer drones for C-UAS interception. This role puts you in the heart of practical R&D of our drones and their supporting platforms.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and develop autonomous racing drones from concept to deployment
- Perform engineering analyses and prepare design review documentation (PDR/CDR)
- Design launchers and supporting mechanical systems and platforms
- Build, integrate, and test prototypes to validate performance and reliability
- Define and manage product structures, including product trees and configuration variants
- Drive mechanical integration of hardware components, assemblies, and wiring harnesses
- 6-10 years of hands-on mechanical design experience, with a strong background in the Defense or Aerospace industries
- Proven experience designing UAV/drone systems (racer or high-performance platforms are a strong advantage)
- Advanced proficiency in SolidWorks, including assemblies, drawings, and PDM/PLM workflows
- Experience with CAD-based design reviews, GD&T, and engineering documentation (BOMs, product trees, ECOs)
- Hands-on experience building and testing prototypes in a lab or workshop environment
- Familiarity with mechanical integration of electronics, harnesses, and embedded hardware components
- Ability to perform or coordinate structural analysis and design validation (FEA experience — an advantage)
- Experience designing launchers, deployment mechanisms, or similar electromechanical systems - an advantage
- Strong ability to work independently in a fast-paced, startup R&D environment

What We Do
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.
