Fly-by-Wire Certification Engineer

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.

REGENT is hiring a Fly-by-Wire Certification Engineer to support Viceroy's fly-by-wire flight control system and serve as the discipline’s primary liaison with REGENT's certifying authorities: the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in support of USCG, and Lloyd's Register (LR) acting on behalf of foreign flag states. The USCG is Viceroy's primary certifying authority within the United States and is expected to defer to the FAA on some aspects of certification, including flight control laws. You'll help develop and review compliance data, approve findings, and guide Viceroy's fly-by-wire system through certification.

This is a hands-on, high-trust role for someone who already holds a Designated Engineering Representative (DER) credential, or an equivalent from another civil aviation authority, and wants to put it to work on a new, all-electric vehicle program early in its certification life.
