Actuation 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.

REGENT's Viceroy and Squire Seagliders rely on actuators and drive systems that have to perform flawlessly in a demanding, real-world environment, and getting them there starts in the lab. As an Actuation Engineering Intern, you'll work alongside our actuation engineering team to build test setups, run evaluations, and dig into vendor documentation to assess how different actuators and drives stack up against each other. You'll spend real time with real hardware, installing actuators on test stands, building jigs, and generating the data that directly informs which components earn a place on our Seaglider product line.

This role sits within our Electrical Systems team, part of Engineering & Technology, where hands-on rigor and clear-eyed evaluation matter as much as clever design. You'll be given increasing independence as the term goes on, moving from guided lab work to running your own experiments and assembling findings into a presentation that will genuinely shape the actuation approach for Viceroy and Squire. If you've got your engineering fundamentals down and are looking for a chance to apply them to real test hardware on a team that's reinventing coastal transportation, you'll feel right at home here.
