Performance 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 is reinventing coastal transportation with the Seaglider, a vehicle that flies over water on a cushion of air, and getting that vehicle's performance right — both on the drawing board and out on the water — depends on models that are only as good as the data and tools behind them. As a Performance Intern within Hardware Engineering, you'll work on exactly that: the modeling backbone used to predict and validate Seaglider performance for both vehicle development and day-to-day operations. You'll build on a framework created by interns before you, strengthening the connection between real on-water test data and the models that predict how Seagliders perform, and pushing that work toward generating performance data in standardized, repeatable formats.

This role sits within the Performance team, a group focused on making sure the numbers behind the Seaglider hold up against reality. Expect to spend your time deep in code, data, and models rather than on the hardware floor - and it's a chance to see firsthand how performance modeling for a vehicle that doesn't fit neatly into "aircraft" or "boat" actually comes together. You'll have real ownership over tools and pipelines that the team will rely on going forward, and your documentation and models will shape how future performance work gets done. If you're someone who loves the rigor of aerodynamics and performance modeling, is energized by writing code that turns test data into insight, and wants that work to matter for a vehicle unlike anything else on the water, we'd love to meet you!
