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.
As a Mechanical Engineer at REGENT, you will work to develop various static and kinematic systems.
Candidates should be experienced in the entire prototype development cycle from concept design and analysis through fabrication, integration and testing.
\n Role and Responsibilities:Mechanical work may include tasks ranging from the design of an actuation system to propulsion test fixtures, to component enclosures and fixturing.This role requires self-motivated individuals willing to embrace tasks for which they have a depth of experience as well as those that will require on-the-job training/education.Candidates with additional experience in electrical engineering will be highly valued as many of the mechanical systems are tightly coupled and interface with electrical components for control and feedback.You will work closely with various engineering disciplines and must have an understanding and appreciation for requirements management, verification and validation efforts, and general interaction and functionality of other subsystems and their integration into the vehicle as a whole.Travel will be required. Required Skills and Qualifications:BS in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering5+ years of applicable experience in Aerospace or Aviation fieldExperience with a CAD package, preferably NXExperience with complex kinematic systems involving various electromechanical, pneumatic, and hydraulic actuatorsExperience with analytical software for completing FEA and thermal analysis such as ANSYSExperience using MATLAB/Simulink, Python, or other programming tools for varying purposes ranging from data reduction to analysis/simulationSolid foundation in statics, mechanics, and thermodynamics principlesFamiliar with writing test plans and reports and conducting tests for mechanical systems including specification and implementation of instrumentationHands-on experience and familiarity with shop tools and their proper use as well as best practices for manufacturing components utilizing CNC machiningStrong organization and communication skills, willingness to learn and teachBiased toward action while maintaining a focus on safety and quality Desired Skills and Qualifications:MS in Mechanical or Aerospace EngineeringExperience working with motion control integrationExperience designing weight-optimized, stress-critical components and preparing design documentation for formal design reviewsExperience working with high-power electric propulsion systems and power electronicsPrototyping and production manufacturing experienceExperience with additive manufacturing, composite layup, welding, and hand fabrication techniques Bonus Points:FAA pilot's license or boating/sailing experience.
