Software 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 Software Certification Engineer to hold engineering approval authority for Viceroy's software and airborne electronic hardware (AEH), and to help guide REGENT and its suppliers through a certification process built on RTCA DO-178C but tailored for Seaglider certification with the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) and a classification society such as Lloyd's Register (LR). You'll review and approve software and AEH compliance artifacts, both REGENT's own and those produced by key suppliers like motor, battery, and actuator vendors, act as an internal software quality assurance auditor, and help facilitate external software process audits from regulators.

This is a hands-on, high-trust role for someone who already has software FAA Designated Engineering Representative (DER) experience, or an equivalent, and wants to put it to work on a new, all-electric aircraft program early in its certification life.
