State Estimation 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 perception team is taking on a new kind of problem: instead of relying on a single Seaglider's sensors to understand its surroundings, what if a fleet of Seagliders could share what they see and build a more complete picture together? That's the question at the center of this internship. You'll join the Perception team to study existing approaches to multi-agent information fusion, then design or adapt an algorithm suited to how our platform actually operates, and demonstrate it against simulated and, where available, real data.

This is genuinely greenfield work. There's no existing playbook to extend here, which means you'll have real room to shape the direction of the project, backed by a defined deliverable, a named mentor, and weekly check-ins so you're never working in a vacuum. Your simulation work will be grounded in real platform and sensor characteristics so your results carry meaning beyond the page, and at the end of your term you'll present your findings directly to the perception engineers who would build on them next.

If you're the kind of person who gets energized by open problems rather than intimidated by them, and you want to see your research connect to an actual vehicle system rather than stay theoretical, this is a rare chance to help define a new area of perception work at a company reinventing how we move across water.
