Regent Services
Mechanical Engineer - Hardware Design
Regent Services, Providence, Rhode Island, us, 02912
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
Mechanical Engineer
at REGENT, you will work to develop various static and kinematic systems.
Candidates should be experienced in the entire prototype development cycle from concept design and analysis through fabrication, integration and testing.
Role and Responsibilities:
Mechanical work may include tasks ranging from the design of an actuation system to propulsion test fixtures, to component enclosures and fixturing. This role requires self-motivated individuals willing to embrace tasks for which they have a depth of experience as well as those that will require on-the-job training/education. Candidates with additional experience in electrical engineering will be highly valued as many of the mechanical systems are tightly coupled and interface with electrical components for control and feedback. You will work closely with various engineering disciplines and must have an understanding and appreciation for requirements management, verification and validation efforts, and general interaction and functionality of other subsystems and their integration into the vehicle as a whole. Travel will be required. Required Skills and Qualifications:
BS in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering 5+ years of applicable experience in Aerospace or Aviation field Experience with a CAD package, preferably NX Experience with complex kinematic systems involving various electromechanical, pneumatic, and hydraulic actuators Experience with analytical software for completing FEA and thermal analysis such as ANSYS Experience using MATLAB/Simulink, Python, or other programming tools for varying purposes ranging from data reduction to analysis/simulation Solid foundation in statics, mechanics, and thermodynamics principles Familiar with writing test plans and reports and conducting tests for mechanical systems including specification and implementation of instrumentation Hands-on experience and familiarity with shop tools and their proper use as well as best practices for manufacturing components utilizing CNC machining Strong organization and communication skills, willingness to learn and teach Biased toward action while maintaining a focus on safety and quality Desired Skills and Qualifications:
MS in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering Experience working with motion control integration Experience designing weight-optimized, stress-critical components and preparing design documentation for formal design reviews Experience working with high-power electric propulsion systems and power electronics Prototyping and production manufacturing experience Experience with additive manufacturing, composite layup, welding, and hand fabrication techniques 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.
REGENT is committed to providing our employees with benefits to support their complete well-being, from excellent health, dental, and vision insurance, to a flexible time off policy, as well as an employee equity incentive plan.
Our Benefits & Perks include :
• 100% of annual premiums covered for healthcare, dental, and vision insurance
• Relocation packages offered
