Senior Hardware 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 seeking a highly capable and hands-on Senior Hardware Engineer to take full ownership of hardware development for an autonomously guided FPV drone platform. This role starts with rapid integration of off-the-shelf components and evaluation boards and evolves into full custom board and harness design. Key Responsibilities • Serve as the single point of ownership for all hardware solutions in the team (This is an Individual Contributor role ) • Integrate and validate off-the-shelf hardware (flight controllers, compute modules, DC-DC converters, evaluation boards, camera modules, sensors) • Design, release for manufacturing, and validate custom wiring harnesses • Lead the transition from evaluation boards to custom rigid and rigid-flex PCB designs • Design high-current power systems (up to 200A) alongside high-speed digital (e.g., MIPI) and analog (e.g., PWM) signals • Ensure robust grounding, return current management, and power integrity • Define and implement electrical, mechanical, and environmental protection for boards and harnesses, including EMI/RFI mitigation • Support system bring-up, debugging, Lab and field testing • Work closely with mechanical design, software, and system engineering Requirements • B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering – Must • Proven hands-on experience in hardware development for embedded, robotics, or defense systems • Strong knowledge of power electronics, high-current systems, and mixed-signal design • Experience with high-speed digital interfaces and signal integrity • Hands-on experience in PCB design and cable harness development • Proficiency with EDA tools (Altium Designer – significant advantage; OrCAD or equivalent tools are also acceptable) • Strong multidisciplinary system-level understanding • High level of ownership, independence, and accountability • Excellent problem-solving skills, a can-do attitude, and a hands-on engineering mindset • Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across disciplines • Ambition to grow into a technical leadership or team leadership role • Experience with drones, robotics, or aviation systems - Advantage • Ability to independently design, modify, and prototype simple PCBs for R&D purposes - Advantage
