Manual Testing Engineer

About Regulus

Regulus is a defense-tech startup developing advanced solutions that protect critical systems against operational threats.

Our systems are field-proven, deployed by the IDF and global partners, and have safeguarded lives and strategic assets.

This is a unique opportunity to join a company at a pivotal growth stage and help shape its products, culture, and future.

We’re hunting for a Linux-native test ninja — someone who eats logs for breakfast, dreams in bash loops, and believes grep, awk, and sed are extensions of the human hand.

If your idea of fun is automating a test rig at 3 a.m. or chasing down an intermittent kernel log entry, we want you on our team.

Role Overview

The Manual Testing Engineer at Regulus is a critical part of our QA and system integration team — a hands-on troubleshooter who thrives in complex environments involving software, hardware, RF, and GNSS systems.

You’ll plan and execute tests, build lab setups, diagnose failures, automate testing flows, and support customer deployments.

Your work ensures that Regulus systems perform flawlessly in the field — no matter how complex the setup or environment.

Key Responsibilities

Test Planning & Design

• Plan and design test scenarios for software–hardware integrated systems.
• Create structured test plans, procedures, and documentation aligned with QA standards.
• Identify edge cases, negative paths, and integration stress points.

System Setup & Integration

• Build and maintain QA lab test environments, including Linux hosts, RF/GNSS receivers, sensors, and communication networks.
• Configure system components (networking, permissions, services) to replicate real-world conditions.
• Integrate Windows–Linux hybrid setups and validate multi-platform interoperability.

Troubleshooting & Support

• Investigate complex, intermittent, or environment-specific failures — from misbehaving daemons to timing drifts or broken drivers.
• Perform diagnostics and validation both in-lab and at customer sites when required.
• Collect, parse, and interpret logs (journalctl, dmesg, syslog, custom app logs) to pinpoint root causes.

Automation & Continuous Improvement

• Develop lightweight scripts (Python, bash) for log parsing, setup automation, and test execution.
• Contribute to CI/CD and hardware-in-the-loop test flows.
• Help turn manual testing into smarter, repeatable, automated processes.

Documentation & Reporting

• Document procedures, setups, and troubleshooting guides for repeatability.
• Record test results, issues, and configuration changes in structured reports.

Maintain traceability through Jira and Bitbucket workflows.

• Strong Linux proficiency: file systems, networking, permissions, dependencies, services, shell operations.
• Mastery of shell scripting (bash, grep, awk, sed) and familiarity with Python for automation.
• Advanced troubleshooting mindset – ability to isolate and diagnose multi-layer issues across software, hardware, and configuration.
• Proven QA experience: executing test plans, logging and tracking defects, maintaining documentation discipline.
• Experience working with RF, GNSS, or embedded systems – a significant advantage.
• Familiarity with test management and issue tracking tools (Jira, Bitbucket, Jenkins).

Preferred Qualifications

• Understanding of CI/CD concepts and hardware-in-the-loop testing.
• Background in telecommunications, defense, aerospace, or embedded systems.
• Experience with RF test equipment, SDRs, or other lab hardware.

Profile Fit

You’re a hands-on engineer who thrives on figuring out the impossible, enjoys getting your hands dirty in the lab, and loves understanding how systems fail — so they can be made stronger.

You’re not just “good at Linux”; you live and breathe it.

If you’re a relentless debugger who can turn chaos into order, automate the un-automatable, and thrives on digging into complex systems until they sing — this is your place.

Let’s break things beautifully, fix them smarter, and make history.
