About The Position

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 an Electrical Engineering Intern at REGENT, you will work at the intersection of the systems that power, move, and control our seagliders. This multidisciplinary role is primarily focused on electrical engineering, with direct exposure to propulsion and actuation systems that push the boundaries of high-performance maritime aviation. You'll support the design, integration, and testing of critical vehicle subsystems-from high-voltage distribution to electromechanical actuators to power-dense propulsion hardware. If you're energized by working at the intersection of cutting-edge innovation, real-world impact, and hands-on engineering, you'll be in the right place - and we'd be thrilled to have you on the team!
