V&V Manager

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 looking for a talented V&V Manager who will build and lead the verification and validation strategy for complex defense systems, ensuring our technologies meet the highest standards of reliability, performance, and operational readiness.

Who You Are

• You are a systems-level testing leader who understands that lab success does not guarantee operational survivability. You think in terms of failure modes, edge cases, and adversarial conditions, and you operate fluently across hardware, software, and system integration domains.
• You combine ownership with execution. You can define measurable quality KPIs, build scalable testing infrastructures, and personally analyze complex system failures when required. You are direct, objective, and independent enough to enforce Go/No-Go decisions when predefined quality thresholds are not met.
• You view automation as a force multiplier and design organizations accordingly. You build teams, processes, and infrastructure that scale without sacrificing agility.
• What You Will Do
• Hold final Go/No-Go authority for all major releases and customer deliverables, based on predefined quality thresholds and readiness criteria.
• Own end-to-end V&V execution, including delivery milestones, resource planning, KPIs, and day-to-day operational performance.
• Build and scale structured testing infrastructure: test plans, traceability, formal procedures, regression suites, and automation frameworks.
• Increase automation coverage and reduce manual dependency through measurable quarterly improvement targets.
• Lead multidisciplinary verification and validation activities, including in-house integration testing, field validation, pilot deployments, and adversarial scenario testing.
• Partner with R&D to embed lifecycle quality gates and remain hands-on in system-level testing, debugging, and high-risk validation efforts during scaling phases
  
  

• Minimum 5 years of leadership experience in testing complex multidisciplinary systems.
• B.Sc. in Engineering in a relevant field (Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Aerospace Engineering, or equivalent).
• Demonstrated ownership of system-level qualification and formal release sign-off processes.
• Proven experience designing and executing operational test scenarios that replicate real-world and adversarial environments.
• Experience building and managing multidisciplinary testing teams.
• Strong communication skills, including structured reporting and decision-making under delivery pressure.
