Regulus is an agile defense-tech startup tackling the most complex challenges in counter-drone and unscrewed 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 seeking a highly experienced and hands-on Drone Technology Researcher to lead a specialized, agile research team. This role is critical to our mission of staying ahead of emerging drone threats. Your team will focus strictly on the electronic and signal aspects of drones—specifically communication protocols, flight controllers, and GNSS systems—rather than their electro-mechanical or aerodynamic properties. Your primary objective will be to deconstruct, study, and understand modern drone technologies to empower our Electronic Warfare (EW) R&D team with actionable insights for drone detection, jamming, and spoofing. You will manage daily operations, track progress, build non-standard test platforms, and maintain a priority-based threat intelligence matrix. Key Responsibilities Lead and mentor a small team of junior researchers. Assign tasks, manage ongoing lab/field activities, and track research progress to ensure milestones are met efficiently. Build non-standard drones using custom or off-the-shelf components. Conduct rigorous lab and field tests to study their electronic behavior under various conditions. Perform deep dives into drone communication protocols (RF links, Wi-Fi, proprietary telemetry), flight controller firmware, and GNSS navigation systems to identify vulnerabilities and operational mechanics.
