Job Details

At REGENT, we’re on a mission to revolutionize regional transportation between coastal cities. We're not just building vehicles, we're creating a new category of transportation: the seaglider. These groundbreaking wing-in-ground-effect craft travel just above the water’s surface, combining the speed of an airplane with the low operating costs of a boat. Capable of 180 miles at 180 mph on today's battery tech (and up to 400 miles with next-gen batteries), seagliders will unlock fast, affordable, and sustainable coastal transit for passengers and cargo - connecting cities, islands, and communities like never before.

Backed by leading investors and powered by a team of passionate, forward-thinking engineers, builders, and operators, we’re now scaling from a breakthrough prototype to full production - and building the team to make it happen.

Role Overview
As a member of the Seaglider Test Crew, you won’t just be along for the ride - you’ll be at the helm of testing and demonstrating the future of coastal transportation. Whether you're serving as Captain, Watch Officer, or Vehicle Test Engineer, your role is central to safely operating our seagliders during sea trials and real-world demonstrations.

Your day-to-day will involve everything from planning and executing engineering trials to running customer demos for commercial and government customers. You’ll develop test cards, conduct risk assessments, schedule events, and coordinate with a variety of stakeholders, both inside and outside the company. Beyond the trials themselves, you’ll play a key role in shaping how seagliders are operated. Your feedback as a crew member will directly inform how we design cockpit layouts, refine user interfaces, and improve the overall crew experience. You’ll also help build the operational foundation by contributing to the development of procedures, checklists, training materials, and hands-on training programs for future operators.

You’ll work closely with our engineering team to define and evaluate test objectives, partner with the business development and marketing teams to deliver high-impact demos, and collaborate with the training team to make sure our future operators are as prepared and confident as you are.

If you're excited by the idea of being in the field, on the water, and deeply involved in the development of groundbreaking maritime vehicles, this is your opportunity to help bring seagliders to life.

What You'll Do

  • Safely execute on-water sea trials and demonstrations of prototype and production Seagliders.
  • Plan engineering sea trials, domestic and international customer/investor demonstrations, and military demonstrations/exercises.
  • Develop test cards, perform risk assessments, schedule events, and coordinate with external stakeholders, including the USMC and other military branches.
  • Assist in the development of crew procedures, checklists, crew training courses, and materials.
  • Provide feedback on cockpit user interfaces and ergonomics to improve seaglider operation.

What You'll Bring

  • Background in marine engineering, naval operations, or related fields
  • Experience in executing on-water sea trials and demonstrations
  • Knowledge of engineering sea trials and risk assessment processes
  • Ability to coordinate with external stakeholders, including military branches
  • Strong communication and teamwork skills

Bonus Experience

  • Experience in developing crew procedures and checklists.
  • Familiarity with cockpit user interfaces and ergonomics.

Who We're Looking For

  • Collaborative Team Player: You believe that great things happen when teams work together. You communicate effectively and collaborate with engineers, stakeholders, and other cross-functional teams to align on goals and move projects forward. You bring people together, ensuring that everyone is on the same page and moving towards a shared vision.
  • Creative Problem Solver: You thrive on tackling complex challenges and finding innovative solutions. Whether you're troubleshooting systems mid-mission, adapting plans to shifting weather or sea conditions, or refining crew procedures, you bring creativity, calm, and a bias for action. You know how to solve problems in the moment without losing sight of long-term safety, scalability, and operational efficiency.
  • Adaptable & Agile: In a fast-paced, ever-evolving startup environment, you quickly adapt to changing priorities and requirements. You approach challenges with a calm, resilient mindset, and know how to pivot and adjust your approach as needed, ensuring that progress continues without missing a beat.
  • Innovative Mindset: You’re driven by curiosity and a passion for technology. You’re passionate about driving continuous improvement, embracing new technologies and methodologies to enhance efficiency, quality, and team performance.

What We Offer

  • Competitive compensation including a robust equity incentive plan.
  • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance - we cover 100% of your premiums.
  • 401(k) with company matching, so you can plan for the future.
  • Generous flexible time off, paid parental leave, and company-wide holiday breaks.
  • Relocation packages available for those moving to join our team.
  • Daily, free catered lunches
  • Learning & professional development opportunities 
If you’re ready to take on an exciting challenge, grow with us, and make a lasting impact, we want to hear from you. Even if you don’t meet every requirement, but you see yourself contributing to our mission, we encourage you to apply! We value diverse skillsets and experiences and believe in the potential of passionate individuals to make a big impact.
