Job Description

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

=================


As an

Electrical Engineering Intern

at REGENT, you will work at the intersection of the systems that power, move, and control our seagliders. This multidisciplinary role is primarily focused on electrical engineering, with direct exposure to propulsion and actuation systems that push the boundaries of high-performance maritime aviation. You'll support the design, integration, and testing of critical vehicle subsystems--from high-voltage distribution to electromechanical actuators to power-dense propulsion hardware.


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!

What You'll Do

------------------


As an intern in this role, you may:

Electrical Systems

Support design, layout, and documentation for HV/LV power distribution and signal networks Develop and test custom PCBs for sensing, control, and actuation Build, route, and validate wire harnesses across electrical, propulsion, and actuation subsystems Create and maintain schematics, harness drawings, and test documentation

Propulsion & Actuation

Assist with the electrical integration of propulsion and actuation systems Support testing of motors, actuators, and power electronics with a focus on instrumentation and safety Troubleshoot hardware issues on benches, in the lab, and on the vehicle

Simulation, Testing & Tools

Use modeling/analysis tools (MATLAB/Simulink, LabVIEW, etc.) to evaluate system performance Build and improve test setups, benches, and automated test equipment Capture and analyze data to support subsystem validation

What You'll Bring

---------------------

Currently pursuing a degree in

Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering

, or similar Experience with electronics lab tools (oscilloscope, power supplies, DMMs, loads, soldering tools) Understanding of digital, analog, or power electronics fundamentals Ability to interpret electrical schematics and/or mechanical drawings Interest in multidisciplinary engineering across electrical, mechanical, and control systems

Bonus Experience

--------------------

Experience with motors, actuators, sensors, or motor controllers Familiarity with Python, MATLAB, or similar tools Exposure to PCB design tools (Altium, KiCad, Eagle) Comfort with high-voltage or high-power systems

Who We're Looking For

-------------------------

Collaborative Team Player:
