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 $8B 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.

- REGENT is looking for a highly motivated, highly skilled technician with experience in aviation electronics and avionics as well as familiarity with maritime environments.
- We are looking for an experienced electrical and/or avionics technician capable of fabricating, assembling and maintaining our vehicles electrical systems, supporting both hands-on and managerial work.
- This person will work side-by-side with our engineering team to develop our seaglider prototypes through design, fabrication, integration and test.
- In this unique position you will have the freedom to provide direct feedback and implement solutions to unique challenges in the development of an advanced all-electric maritime vehicle.
- Your experience will help ensure designs consider integration, assembly and maintainability and you will provide guidance on industry best practices.
- Applicants should also be eager to learn new skills from both industries. This role will focus primarily on avionics and electrical systems but will also support significant mechanical assembly work as well.
