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
We’re looking for a mission-driven Electromechanical Technician to help bring REGENT’s groundbreaking seagliders to life. In this role, you won’t just assemble parts - you’ll be building the future of coastal mobility by integrating and testing the critical systems that will make our vehicles fly just above the waves. This is an opportunity for a hands-on builder with a deep understanding of both mechanical and electrical systems to contribute to something truly transformative. If you've worked in aerospace, marine, robotics, or complex R&D environments and are energized by solving real-world problems with hardware, we’d be thrilled to have you on the team!
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!

Requirements

• Demonstrated experience building and supporting electromechanical systems - including actuators, sensors, motors, wiring, and control interfaces.
• Proficiency in using both mechanical and electrical hand tools, diagnostic instruments (multimeters, torque wrenches, etc.), and assembly techniques.
• Familiarity with aviation, aerospace, or high-reliability standards for assembly, harnessing, and workmanship (e.g., IPC-A-610, IPC/WHMA-A-620, or equivalent).
• Ability to read and follow electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and mechanical assembly drawings.
• Understanding of safe work practices around high-voltage systems, rotating machinery, and prototype environments.
• A collaborative mindset and the ability to adapt in a fast-paced prototyping environment.

Nice To Haves

• Experience in aerospace, marine, robotics, or advanced manufacturing environments.
• Worked on systems involving high-voltage power, battery modules, or energy storage (Li-Ion or Li-Polymer).
• Familiarity with motor control systems, linear actuators, servos, or propulsion subsystems.
• Exposure to prototyping or R&D test environments, with rapid iteration cycles and hands-on debugging.
• Worked with CAD or electrical design software (e.g., Siemens NX, Capital, or Altium) for layout or harness routing.
• Experience operating or maintaining marine craft, UAVs, or small aircraft.

Responsibilities

• Assemble, install, and test integrated systems including motors, actuators, sensors, wire harnesses, control surfaces, and other electromechanical assemblies.
• Fabricate and route harnesses from schematics and 3D models, using crimping, soldering, and strain relief techniques to aerospace standards (e.g., IPC/WHMA-A-620).
• Troubleshoot system-level issues involving electrical, mechanical, or sensor components—identify root causes and propose solutions in collaboration with engineers.
• Read and interpret both electrical schematics and mechanical assembly drawings to support builds and integration.
• Install and calibrate moving systems, such as control surfaces, propulsion assemblies, or actuation systems, ensuring smooth mechanical operation and proper electrical interfacing.
• Support testing and validation of complete vehicle systems - both on the bench and integrated into seaglider platforms.
• Collaborate across disciplines (e.g., mechanical, electrical, avionics, and systems engineering) to rapidly iterate and improve design and build processes.
• Contribute to tooling, workspace setup, and safety practices, including safe handling of high-voltage systems and moving machinery.

Benefits

• 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.
• 10 days of paid time off and company-wide holiday breaks.
• Relocation packages available for those moving to join our team.
• Daily, free catered lunches
• Learning & professional development opportunities
