A leading company in the field of advanced hybrid propulsion systems for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and drones is seeking a Senior System Engineer to join our engineering team.

This role combines multidisciplinary system leadership with hands-on understanding of mechanics, electronics, embedded software and integration. It includes responsibility for guiding the engineering team, defining system requirements and architecture, overseeing development and verification activities, and ensuring a smooth transition from development into production.

As the company grows, this position has the potential to evolve into a broader engineering leadership role.

• Lead and guide a multidisciplinary engineering team (mechanical, electronics, embedded software).
• Oversee system-level design, integration, and verification across all engineering domains.
• Define system requirements, engineering specifications, interfaces, and design documentation.
• Prepare and present design reviews and technical discussions internally and with customers.
• Manage system integration activities, testing plans, and resolution of technical issues.
• Drive the transition from development to production, including configuration definition, production documentation, and alignment with QA and suppliers.
• Work closely with customer engineering teams in the defense UAV domain, translating operational needs into engineering requirements.

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Mechanical/Electrical/Aerospace or related) – mandatory. Electric Engineering - advantage.
• Master’s degree in System Engineering – advantage.
• 5+ years of engineering leadership experience in multidisciplinary systems.
• Proven experience managing or guiding teams in mechanical/electrical/software development.
• Strong experience writing engineering documents and presenting design reviews.
• Hands-on familiarity with development, verification, integration, and transition-to-production processes.
• Experience working directly with customer engineering teams in complex/defense systems – advantage.
• High-level English (documentation, communication).

• Deep understanding of development, verification, and proof processes for complex systems.
• Excellent multidisciplinary communication across mechanics, electronics, software and integration.
• Strong system-level thinking with the ability to see the full picture and the fine details.
• Ability to guide, review, and challenge engineering work across all domains.
• Problem-solving mindset with structured, methodical, and organized working habits.
• Leadership, ownership, and high personal accountability.
• Strong interpersonal skills, teamwork, and professionalism.

This is a rare opportunity to take a central engineering role in a cutting-edge Israeli deep-tech company advancing hybrid propulsion technology for UAVs.

We are looking for someone who brings technical depth, leadership maturity, and a passion for multidisciplinary engineering—someone who wants to grow with us, influence product direction, and be part of building the next generation of propulsion capabilities for the defense UAV world.
