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 a Senior Electrical Integration Engineer, you’ll play a critical role in bringing REGENT’s vehicles from design to reality. You’ll own the hands-on assembly, integration, and verification of electrical and avionics systems on our Seagliders - ensuring every wire, harness, and signal path performs flawlessly in the lab and on the water.
This is a build-focused, cross-functional role at the heart of our vehicle programs. You’ll bridge the gap between design and production - working closely with electrical engineers, manufacturing teams, and suppliers to transform drawings into fully integrated, flight-ready systems. From sourcing and inspection to test and troubleshooting, you’ll be responsible for making sure our complex electrical architecture is installed safely, cleanly, and to spec.
If you're energized by real-world problem-solving, thrive in hands-on environments, and want to shape the build process for a brand-new category of vehicle, we’d love to have you on the team.
What You'll Do
- Lead Electrical System Builds: Own the end-to-end integration of electrical and avionics subsystems - ensuring components are correctly sourced, inspected, installed, and verified on both test benches and full vehicles.
- Bridge Design and Reality: Collaborate with design engineers to resolve installation issues, improve integration practices, and feed back lessons learned to future revisions.
- Ensure Electrical Integrity: Perform detailed inspections, continuity checks, grounding verification, and system bring-up to validate readiness at every stage of build.
- Support Rapid Troubleshooting: Diagnose and resolve electrical issues during integration and test including signal noise, routing conflicts, or component failures.
- Work with Vendors and Partners: Manage sourcing and quality of harnesses, electrical hardware, and subassemblies - guiding suppliers through specs, fabrication, and inspection criteria.
- Improve Build Processes: Optimize installation practices, document procedures, and work side-by-side with technicians to ensure safe, repeatable, high-quality electrical builds.
- Drive Toward Certification: Support the verification and documentation of flight-critical systems to meet our roadmap for production and regulatory certification.
- Contribute to Flight Test Readiness: Participate in integration checkouts, safe-to-mate activities, and rapid turnarounds in test environments to keep our flight programs moving.
What You'll Bring
- Strong technical foundation and practical experience in electrical engineering, aerospace engineering, or related fields
- A deep passion for building real-world, safety-critical systems - and seeing them come to life in the lab and on the vehicle
- Demonstrated, hands-on professional experience integrating electrical and/or avionics systems in complex platforms (aerospace, maritime, defense, or automotive environments)
- Expertise in interpreting electrical schematics, harness diagrams, and mechanical installation drawings
- Strong understanding of low-voltage DC power systems, grounding/shielding practices, and high-integrity cable routing
- Proven ability to work across disciplines including mechanical, propulsion, software, systems, etc. to drive integration forward
- Experience performing component inspections, managing incoming quality checks, and ensuring readiness for installation
- Proficiency with electrical test equipment (e.g. multimeters, bus readers, continuity testers) and troubleshooting techniques
- Confidence working alongside technicians on the shop floor - guiding installs, resolving real-time challenges, and adapting as needed
- High attention to detail, especially when working with flight or mission-critical systems in dynamic and harsh environments
Bonus Experience
- Prior experience as an integration engineer or build lead for flight or marine vehicles
- Exposure to high-voltage or high-power system integration
- Familiarity with sourcing and qualifying custom harnesses and subassemblies
- Experience writing build manuals, work instructions, or installation guides
- Hands-on support of flight or field testing environments, including rapid troubleshooting under time pressure
- Understanding of electrical system certification processes or industry standards (e.g., DO-160, MIL-STD, etc.)
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.
