Mechanical Design Engineer

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 Mechanical Design Engineer at REGENT, you'll design, refine, and mature the mechanical systems that make our Seagliders work — spanning structures, mechanisms, actuation, fluid handling, and vehicle-level integration. This is a hands-on design role on our Hardware Engineering team, and it exists because we're scaling from a prototype environment toward full-rate production and need dedicated design capacity to improve, troubleshoot, and harden the wide variety of mechanical systems across our platforms.
