Hardware Engineer jobs in Tel Aviv-Yafo

Description Kela is a defense technology startup pioneering next-generation defense technology, from command & control software to complete field-deployed systems. We empower defense organizations with robust, scalable, and secure platforms that integrate diverse sensors and AI to deliver real-time battlefield intelligence. Backed by leading investors, Kela combines Israeli innovation with global mission impact. As a Hardware Engineer, you'll be the hands-on board designer who takes our electronics from schematic to fielded hardware. You'll own the design of ruggedized boards — power conversion, EMI/EMC front ends, interface and interlock circuits — bring them up on the bench, and carry them through qualification and into serial production. You'll work closely with systems, mechanical, and software teams, and oversee the board-design work of our subcontractors. Responsibilities • Own board design end to end: architecture, schematic, layout, fab and assembly handoff, bring-up. • Design power stages for military vehicle power: DC/DC conversion, input protection, transient survival. • Design EMI/EMC filtering and grounding to MIL-STD requirements. • Design discrete-signal and interlock circuits, including safety-related interfaces. • Select components for harsh environments, availability, and lead time; own the BOM. • Build and run board-level lab tests: bring-up, pre-compliance, environmental screening. • Own the qualification path (MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-1275, MIL-STD-810) with external labs. • Oversee subcontracted board designers and review their deliverables. • Support the transition to serial production: DFM, test coverage, first-article inspection. Requirements • 7+ years of hands-on board design (schematic and layout) in leading companies. • BSc in Electrical Engineering. • Boards you designed reached production and shipped. • Practical power-electronics experience: DC/DC design or integration, protection circuits. • EMI/EMC design practice and pre-compliance testing experience. • Full lab fluency: scopes, electronic loads, transient generators. Advantages • Defense or military vehicle electronics background. • MIL-STD-461 / MIL-STD-1275 qualification experience. • Video or high-speed interface design experience. • Embedded compute (carrier/SoM) integration experience. • Experience overseeing subcontractors or an external design house.
