Test Engineering Intern (Summer)

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.

The rhythm of this role changes constantly: prepping a test plan one day, monitoring a live run the next, and diving into post-event analysis the day after, because Paladin and Squire are both advancing toward manufacturing in parallel, and testing has to keep pace with both. You'll need a real engineering foundation to do this well, since understanding what a subsystem is supposed to do is what lets you write a test plan and recognize an anomaly instead of just a number. You don't need prior test experience. The team teaches how a test event runs, how to build a test card, and how to work a Data Room station, and you'll be on live tests early in the term. The Test Operations team cares deeply about getting that rigor right, because safe and effective testing is what lets REGENT build Seagliders and reinvent how coastal communities move.

If you want a front-row seat to how a vehicle actually gets tested and moves toward certification, and you're energized by precision, fast shifts in focus, and learning from senior technical experts, this internship was built for you.
