About the job

Summary_{By Outscal}

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 a Propulsion Design Engineer at REGENT, you will directly contribute to designs that make the seaglider move. The propulsion system comprises the heart and blood of the seaglider from the propellers, motors, high voltage distribution and energy storage hardware. You will own key components of the propulsion system from ideation, design, test and release through product fulfillment. This role requires an obsession with fundamental principles to design and execute excellent products. Prior experience in electrification is required whether on the job or in extracurricular student activities.

Roles and Responsibilities:

Own the design and release of key propulsion components from ideation, fundamental calculations, computer-aided design, prototype, and manufacturing
This role will also include integration with test teams to validate designs
Manage CAE models, interfaces, drawings, and supply chain communication

Required Qualifications and Skills:

BS in Engineering (Mechanical preferred) with 2 years of electrification experience
Detail-oriented with strong organizational and communication skills
