About the role

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!

WHAT YOU'LL DO

- 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.

WHAT YOU'LL BRING

- 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.

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR

- Collaborative Team Player: You believe that great things happen when teams work together. You communicate effectively and collaborate with engineers, stakeholders, and other cross-functional teams to align on goals and move projects forward. You bring people together, ensuring that everyone is on the same page and moving towards a shared vision.

- Creative Problem Solver: You thrive on tackling complex challenges and finding innovative solutions. Whether you're resolving installation challenges, debugging elusive electrical issues, or adapting on the fly during integration and test, you bring a practical, inventive mindset to every problem. You don't just patch issues - you improve processes, anticipate downstream impacts, and help turn one-off fixes into scalable solutions that raise the bar for future builds.

- Adaptable & Agile: In a fast-paced, ever-evolving startup environment, you quickly adapt to changing priorities and requirements. You approach challenges with a calm, resilient mindset, and know how to pivot and adjust your approach as needed, ensuring that progress continues without missing a beat.

- Innovative Mindset: You’re driven by curiosity and a passion for technology. You’re passionate about driving continuous improvement, embracing new technologies and methodologies to enhance efficiency, quality, and team performance.
