Senior Mission Software Engineer
REGENT, North Kingstown, Rhode Island
About the job
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.
Role overview
We're looking for a Senior Mission Software Engineer to drive development and integration of the Seaglider's vehicle-level software: the system that ties guidance, navigation, control, communications, and health monitoring together. You'll build and integrate the software for our first production Seagliders — spanning multiple avionics units, high-rate control loops, and mission logic — and help take our platform from prototype to production-ready, with major milestones ahead in hardware integration, sea trials, and autonomy.
