About the job

Summary_{By Outscal}

REGENT is seeking an Electrical Engineer specializing in harnessing to contribute to the design, documentation, and testing of cables and harnesses for the seaglider prototype. This role requires 5+ years of experience in aerospace, maritime, or automotive fields, a solid foundation in electrical engineering principles, and experience working with in-house technicians and vendors to produce harnesses.

REGENT is building the seaglider; the first electric flying machine that will transport commercial passengers. With a vehicle that never flies higher than a few meters off the water, we unlock the ability to fly twice as far as an electric aircraft, and certification by maritime authorities which will let us fly first passengers by mid-decade.

We are backed by the world’s best investors: the same investors who are behind SpaceX, Anduril, and Boom Supersonic, in addition to strategic investors like Lockheed Martin, Japan Airlines, and Hawaiian Airlines. We have over $9B in orders from some of the industry’s largest operators and are hard at work getting our full-scale, human-carrying prototype on the water next year.

As an Electrical Engineer focusing on harnessing, you will help REGENT design, document, and test cables and harnesses to support both testing and the full-scale prototype seaglider vehicle. In this role, you will support schematic capture, harness drawings and detailed design, routing design, power loss calculations, and develop processes within the Avionics group. You will also work with internal technicians and external vendors to support fabrication and subsequent testing of harnesses.

Roles & Responsibilities:

Support common testing processes related to EMI, HiPot, signal integrity, and IR testing while using common test equipment (oscilloscopes, multimeters, data acquisition systems, etc.)
Specify connectorization throughout the vehicle utilizing a range of connectors such as mil-spec circular connectors (such as the D38999 series), their accessories, as well as other components related to harnessing design and fabrication (over braids, splices, stand-offs, etc.)
Support REGENT's start-up efforts by performing hands-on work to fabricate harnesses and cables for testing.
Work closely with the Electrical/Avionics, Propulsion, and Structural/Mechanical design teams to complete integrated solutions.
Utilize basic electrical and mechanical principles to design and analyze harnessing for signal integrity, power loss, and sufficient mounting provisions.

Required Qualifications and Skills:

BS/MS in Electrical or Aerospace Engineering
5+ years of experience in the Aerospace, Maritime, or Automotive fields
Extensive experience producing schematics and wiring harness drawings
Solid foundation in electrical engineering principles including basic circuit design, signal processing, transmission line theory, etc.
Experience working with in-house technicians and outside vendors to produce harnesses
Strong organization and communication skills and a willingness to learn and teach
Biased toward action while maintaining a focus on safety and quality

Working at REGENT, you’ll be in a fast-paced environment with exciting new challenges daily and abundant growth opportunities. Your coworkers are passionate about building zero-emission, high-speed seagliders that will revolutionize coastal transportation. Our team works collaboratively and across disciplines to safely marry the latest technologies from Aviation, Aerospace, and Maritime engineering.

REGENT is committed to providing our employees with benefits to support their complete well-being, from excellent health, dental, and vision insurance, to a flexible time off policy, as well as an employee equity incentive plan.
