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 Embedded Software Engineer, you will architect, develop, and integrate low-level hardware-interfacing code responsible for critical seaglider functionality. You will work with a variety of sensors and actuation systems, communication protocols, and compute platforms that provide real-time monitoring and control of our vehicles. You will mentor and guide junior engineers, helping them grow their embedded software skillsets, and guide them through integration challenges. You will be a core contributor to our vehicle control system and the infrastructure that supports it, like Hardware-in-the-loop and Iron Bird Test Beds.
