Manager, Aerodynamics

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.

As the Manager of Aerodynamics, you will lead a talented team ranging from early-career engineers to subject matter experts in aerodynamic methods. You will build on the team’s strengths, support each engineer’s development, and foster a collaborative working environment.

You will own the aerodynamic configuration across our product range, directing the development and validation of models that capture the complex effects of ground effect and distributed electric propulsion (DEP). Your team’s scope will also include internal flows, thermal analysis, intake design, and avionics cooling.

Working closely with hydrodynamics and other engineering teams, you will translate analysis into design, integration, and test decisions. Your team will develop models for Mission Performance and Stability and Control (S&C), provide linearized aerodynamic models to Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC), and deliver aerodynamic inputs to Loads and Dynamics (L&D).

If you’re energized by working at the intersection of cutting-edge innovation, real-world impact, and hands-on engineering, you’ll be in the right place - and we’d be thrilled to have you on the team!
