North Kingstown, Rhode Island, United States REGENT Full time

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.

Reporting to the Lead Vehicle Software Engineer, as a Senior Controls Systems Engineer, you will have the opportunity to leverage your knowledge, experience, and creativity to design, implement, verify and validate control systems for REGENT's seagliders. These all-electric, wing-in-ground effect craft will have novel control challenges due to their multiple operational modes: hull-borne, hydrofoil-borne, and wing-born.


This position will involve leveraging the interplay between hydrodynamic controls, aerodynamic controls, and distributed propulsion controls. You will utilize high-fidelity simulations and vehicle testing to validate and verify your control systems.

Roles and Responsibilities:

Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define system requirements and develop specifications
Lead the implementation and commissioning of control systems, including hardware and software integration
Develop verification and validation procedures and test plans
Identify potential risks and develop strategies to mitigate them
Develop and maintain control system documentation, including schematics, specifications, interfaces, and software code
Responsible for staying up-to-date with emerging technologies and to drive continuous improvement and innovation

Required Skills & Qualifications:
8+ years of experience developing control systems in the aviation industry
Bachelor's or Master's in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, control systems engineering, or related engineering discipline with focus on control systems
Familiarity with MATLAB/Simulink
Strong cause-and-effect problem-solving skills
Proficiency in control system design and troubleshooting
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to lead and manage multiple projects simultaneously
Experience in developing and executing Hardware-in-the-Loop tests to validate control systems

Desired Skills & Qualifications:
PhD in complex, non-linear flight control systems design
Modeling and simulation of vehicle plants
C/C++ Embedded software development experience
Development of safety-critical components under ARP4754A
DO-178C or DO-254 development processes
Knowledge in ADS-33F-PRF, SAE-AS94900, or MIL-STD-1797 Standards
Flight test or sea trials experience

Bonus Points:
FAA pilot's license or boating/sailing experience

Working at REGENT, you'll be in a fast-paced environment with exciting new challenges daily and abundant growth opportunities. Your coworkers are passionate about building zero-emission, high-speed seagliders that will revolutionize coastal transportation. Our team works collaboratively and across disciplines to safely marry the latest technologies from Aviation, Aerospace, and Maritime engineering.
