Structures Intern

North Kingstown, Rhode Island, United States REGENT Full time

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 a Structures Intern at REGENT, you'll support the design, analysis, and development of structural components for our seagliders — vehicles that operate across water and air and require aerospace-grade structural performance in a maritime environment. You'll work closely with experienced composites and mechanical engineers to assist in modeling components and evaluating structural behavior.

This role is ideal for students excited about advanced composite structures, structural mechanics, and hands-on engineering. You'll gain experience in vehicle-scale composite design, CAD modeling, analysis workflows, and design-for-manufacturing principles.

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

  • Support the design and development of primary and secondary composite structures

  • Create and modify CAD models and engineering drawings for structural components and assemblies

  • Assist with finite element analysis (FEA) for component- and assembly-level stress evaluations

  • Apply design-for-manufacturing principles to support efficient composite fabrication and assembly

  • Assist with builds, material testing, and inspection tasks as needed

What You'll Bring

  • Pursuing a degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related field

  • Strong understanding of core engineering and structural mechanics principles

  • Familiarity with CAD tools (NX preferred, SolidWorks)

  • Willingness to learn composite design and FEA fundamentals

Bonus Experience

  • Coursework in composite materials, laminate theory, or structural analysis

  • Experience with finite element analysis (e.g., NX Nastran, ANSYS, Abaqus)

  • Prior internship, research, or hands-on project work in composites

  • Exposure to Visual Basic (VB) or scripting tools

  • Hands-on experience with composite fabrication, lay-up, curing, or tooling

Who We're Looking For

  • Collaborative Team Player: You believe that great things happen when teams work together. You communicate effectively and collaborate with engineers, stakeholders, and other cross-functional teams to align on goals and move projects forward. You bring people together, ensuring that everyone is on the same page and moving towards a shared vision.

  • Creative Problem Solver: You thrive on tackling complex challenges and finding innovative solutions. Whether you're resolving installation challenges, debugging elusive electrical issues, or adapting on the fly during integration and test, you bring a practical, inventive mindset to every problem. You don't just patch issues - you improve processes, anticipate downstream impacts, and help turn one-off fixes into scalable solutions that raise the bar for future builds.

  • Adaptable & Agile: In a fast-paced, ever-evolving startup environment, you quickly adapt to changing priorities and requirements. You approach challenges with a calm, resilient mindset, and know how to pivot and adjust your approach as needed, ensuring that progress continues without missing a beat.

  • Innovative Mindset: You're driven by curiosity and a passion for technology. You're passionate about driving continuous improvement, embracing new technologies and methodologies to enhance efficiency, quality, and team performance.

What We Offer

  • Competitive compensation

  • Housing Stipend available for those temporarily moving to join our team

  • Daily, free catered lunches

  • Learning & professional development opportunities

  • Meaningful projects that make an impact

  • Mentorship & guidance from experienced team members

If you're ready to take on an exciting challenge, grow with us, and make a lasting impact, we want to hear from you. Even if you don't meet every requirement, but you see yourself contributing to our mission, we encourage you to apply We value diverse skillsets and experiences and believe in the potential of passionate individuals to make a big impact.
