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.

REGENT is seeking a highly skilled and experienced Senior Vehicle Software Engineer to join our dynamic team. Reporting to the Lead Vehicle Software Engineer, as a Senior Vehicle Software Engineer, you will play a key role in designing, implementing, and optimizing software systems for our Seaglider projects.

Lead the development and maintenance of software systems for Seaglider projects, including vehicle guidance, navigation, system management, and communication
Lead the configuration management, deployment, integration, and testing of software onto vehicle hardware
Collaborate with hardware engineers, systems engineers, and other stakeholders to define software requirements and specifications
Optimize software for efficiency, reliability, and real-time performance in resource-constrained embedded systems

Required Skills and Qualifications:

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related field
Minimum of 5 years of experience in vehicle software development, preferably in the aerospace or automotive industry
Proficiency in C++
Solid knowledge of embedded systems, real-time operating systems, distributed computing systems, and software/hardware interfaces
Experience in software development lifecycle, from prototyping to vehicle hardware testing, including hardware-in-the-loop simulation, vehicle integration, and field testing
Knowledge of industry standards and practices for software safety and reliability (e.g., DO-178C)
Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, collaborative environment
Strong communication skills with the ability to effectively interact with cross-functional teams and stakeholders
