REGENT is building the seaglider; the first electric flying machine that will transport commercial passengers. With a vehicle that never flies higher than a few meters off the water, we unlock the ability to fly twice as far as an electric aircraft, and certification by maritime authorities which will let us fly first passengers by mid-decade.
We are backed by the world’s best investors: the same investors who are behind SpaceX, Anduril, and Boom Supersonic, in addition to strategic investors like Lockheed Martin, Japan Airlines, and Hawaiian Airlines. We have over $9B in orders from some of the industry’s largest operators and are hard at work getting our full-scale, human-carrying prototype on the water next year.
As a Senior Software Systems Engineer, you will develop, Maintain, and Verify safety-critical software systems for seaglider projects. Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including systems engineers, hardware engineers, structural designers, and test operations personnel, to define software requirements, assurance processes, and specifications. Perform software integration, testing, debugging, and verification to ensure the functionality, performance, and safety of the flight software. Participate in and lead code reviews and provide constructive feedback to ensure high-quality code and adherence to coding standards. Participate in and lead system-level design reviews, risk assessments, and technical meetings to contribute to the overall project success. Mentor and guide junior engineers, fostering their professional growth and skill development. Collaborate with external partners, contractors, and vendors when necessary to achieve project objectives.
