Senior Systems Engineer

At REGENT, were 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 waters 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, were now scaling from a breakthrough prototype to full production - and building the team to make it happen.

Role Overview

As a Senior Systems Engineer , youll play a key role in shaping how these revolutionary vehicles are designed, verified, and certified for safe, reliable passenger service around the world. This role is about more than requirements and documentation - its about engineering clarity out of complexity. Youll define and trace the relationships between systems, requirements, and safety analyses, ensuring our vehicles are built for certification from day one.

As part of the certification team, youll be joining a group of driven, collaborative, and talented engineers who take pride in solving complex technical challenges and making an impact as a team. We hold a high bar for engineering rigor, move quickly, think boldly, and rely on our teamwork to push boundaries and bring entirely new technology into the world.

If youre energized by working at the intersection of cutting-edge innovation, real-world impact, and hands-on engineering, youll be in the right place - and wed be thrilled to have you on the team!

What You'll Do

• Engineer for Certifiability : Develop and manage systems engineering artifacts that underpin Seaglider certification - requirements, verification plans, and compliance evidence that turn breakthrough engineering into certifiable reality.
• Bridge Design and Safety : Work closely with safety, hardware, and software teams to derive, verify, and validate system requirements from high-level safety analyses and regulatory documents.
• Drive Verification Activities : Create and execute verification procedures in collaboration with the certification and engineering teams, ensuring system requirements are fully validated and connected to the certification path.
• Shape Certification Strategy : Translate evolving regulations into clear, actionable requirements and verification plans. Youll help define what certification looks like for an entirely new class of vehicle.
• Build the Traceability Backbone : Use systems engineering tools like Jama, Polarion, or DOORS to ensure every system requirement, test, and hazard is accounted for, traceable, and verifiable.
