Senior Hydrodynamics 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.

As a Senior Hydrodynamics Engineer, you will lead the design, analysis, test, and certification of the Seaglider hydrofoil system. You will draw on analytical, empirical, and advanced computational methods to develop models of hull-sailing, hydrofoiling, takeoff, and landing. You will use these models to analyze vehicle dynamics, stability, and control, and to set operating limitations.

Many of these problems are highly coupled. You will know how to simplify them, when to apply deeper analytical rigor, and how to arrive at the most cost-effective solution, and then you'll test to prove it works.

As part of the Vehicle Sciences team, you'll join a group of driven, collaborative engineers who hold a high bar, move quickly, and think boldly to bring entirely new technology into the world.

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!
