Drone Operator

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 skilled and technical drone operator to support our R&D, testing and support teams. In this critical role, you will act as part of our Red Team, piloting a diverse fleet of drones to simulate real-world threats and test the efficacy of our c-UAS platforms.This is a hands-on, high-autonomy role for someone who enjoys challenges. If you deeply understand drone mechanics, control, and assembly, love pushing drones to their limits, and want to play a direct role in advancing counter drone defense, this is the role for you

There is no remote option, you will either be on site (Haifa) or in the field.
