From Regent's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
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
We're looking for a Manager, Flight Controls & GNC to lead and grow the group that decides how a Seaglider is controlled from dock to dock: floating, foiling, and flying in ground effect. Three connected areas, across every REGENT vehicle program:
the autopilot, the layer that turns a route into heading, speed, and altitude commands, state estimation, and height above a moving sea surface.
the control laws for each regime, the transitions between them, and the mode logic that decides which is active and when.
the navigation and air-data sensor suite, pilot inceptors and throttles, and the selection and monitoring logic that decides which inputs the vehicle trusts.
You'll do this across multiple vehicle programs at once: a full-scale prototype in flight test today, and our first certified production vehicle, where the control system carries the highest design assurance level on the vehicle. You'll be in the models and on console while you build the team that owns each area. If you've developed control laws that flew, led controls engineers, and you're looking for a control problem nobody has solved yet, you’ll be in the right place!
