Electromechanical Technician

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

We're looking for a mission-driven Electromechanical Technician to help bring REGENT's groundbreaking seagliders to life. In this role, you won't just assemble parts - you'll be building the future of coastal mobility by integrating and testing the critical systems that will make our vehicles fly just above the waves. This is an opportunity for a hands-on builder with a deep understanding of both mechanical and electrical systems to contribute to something truly transformative.

If you've worked in aerospace, marine, robotics, or complex R&D environments and are energized by solving real-world problems with hardware, we'd be thrilled to have you on the team!

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

* Assemble, install, and test integrated systems including motors, actuators, sensors, wire harnesses, control surfaces, and other electromechanical assemblies.

* Fabricate and route harnesses from schematics and 3D models, using crimping, soldering, and strain relief techniques to aerospace standards (e.g., IPC/WHMA-A-620).

* Troubleshoot system-level issues involving electrical, mechanical, or sensor components-identify root causes and propose solutions in collaboration with engineers.

* Read and interpret both electrical schematics and mechanical assembly drawings to support builds and integration.

* Install and calibrate moving systems, such as control surfaces, propulsion assemblies, or actuation systems, ensuring smooth mechanical operation and proper electrical interfacing.

* Support testing and validation of complete vehicle systems - both on the bench and integrated into seaglider platforms.

* Collaborate across disciplines (e.g., mechanical, electrical, avionics, and systems engineering) to rapidly iterate and improve design and build processes.

* Contribute to tooling, workspace setup, and safety practices, including safe handling of high-voltage systems and moving machinery.

What You'll Bring

* Demonstrated experience building and supporting electromechanical systems - including actuators, sensors, motors, wiring, and control interfaces.

* Proficiency in using both mechanical and electrical hand tools, diagnostic instruments (multimeters, torque wrenches, etc.), and assembly techniques.

* Familiarity with aviation, aerospace, or high-reliability standards for assembly, harnessing, and workmanship (e.g., IPC-A-610, IPC/WHMA-A-620, or equivalent).

* Ability to read and follow electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and mechanical assembly drawings.

* Understanding of safe work practices around high-voltage systems, rotating machinery, and prototype environments.

* A collaborative mindset and the ability to adapt in a fast-paced prototyping environment.

Bonus Experience

* Experience in aerospace, marine, robotics, or advanced manufacturing environments.

* Worked on systems involving high-voltage power, battery modules, or energy storage (Li-Ion or Li-Polymer).

* Familiarity with motor control systems, linear actuators, servos, or propulsion subsystems.

* Exposure to prototyping or R&D test environments, with rapid iteration cycles and hands-on debugging.

* Worked with CAD or electrical design software (e.g., Siemens NX, Capital, or Altium) for layout or harness routing.

* Experience operating or maintaining marine craft, UAVs, or small aircraft.

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…
