Highly responsible for strategic initiatives that include coordination of research, design, development, analysis, architecture definition and deployment of projects, products and technologies.Lead projects and provide subject matter expertise to very senior levels of Systems Engineering. Apply modern best practices of a system's life-cycle (e.g. requirements, engineering designs, documentation, usability, integration, test, deployment, maintenance, troubleshooting, etc.)Assess the relationship between systems engineering and the elements associated with systems integration, systems architectures, and systems requirements as well as risks, issues, assumptions, mitigation, and dependencies.www.regulus.comRegulus Cyber is the first company dealing with sensor security, enabling uninterrupted, continuous operation under malicious attacks or accidental interference to sensors.From GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) to LiDAR and Radar, sensors are critical components across a wide range of applications: vehicles on the ground, airplanes in the air and ships at sea; and even critical infrastructure (telecom, power grids, financial institutions). Today, little is done to secure these sensors against spoofing and jamming attacks. The sensor threat is growing rapidly with real-world attacks happening across these multiple sectors and is expected to further grow as sensor-dependent systems become more connected and autonomous.To face these threats, Regulus is developing Pyramid™ – a set of technologies aimed at solving this problem. The Pyramid is the first sensor cyber defense technology for vehicles, airplanes, ships and drones defending both communication and sensors from smart physical hacks such as spoofing and jamming.Learn more at www.regulus.com
