As a Lead Vehicle Test Engineer, you’ll own the planning and execution of REGENT’s sea and air test programs for our foiling, wing-in-ground-effect seagliders—turning engineering objectives into safe, rigorous, repeatable test operations. You’ll sit at the intersection of engineering, operations, and safety, building phased test campaigns that reduce risk, expand the envelope, and generate the data needed to mature prototypes into reliable, certifiable transportation systems.
Job Responsibility:
Plan and execute test campaigns across sea and air testing—designing phased programs from early on-water trials through flight test and certification-support activities
Develop risk-informed test plans and procedures (test cards, checklists, envelope expansion plans) that systematically reduce risk while advancing capability and performance
Translate engineering requirements into executable tests by partnering with design, loads, controls, structures, and systems to define objectives, success criteria, instrumentation needs, and constraints
Own test readiness and event coordination, ensuring vehicle configuration, personnel, supporting assets, infrastructure, and test environment are aligned for safe execution
Lead and contribute to hazard assessments and safety reviews, identifying hazards, implementing mitigations, and communicating go/no-go logic in high-consequence environments
Support real-time and post-test analysis, monitoring key telemetry during events, capturing anomalies, and producing clear post-test reports that drive decisions and next-step planning
Requirements:
Experience in vehicle, marine, flight, or integrated prototype testing (aerospace, maritime, automotive, or advanced mobility), with ownership of test events end-to-end
Proven ability to build structured test plans (phased campaigns, test readiness criteria, configuration control, and disciplined documentation) in fast-moving development programs
Strong safety mindset and experience with hazard analysis / risk management (e.g., hazard logs, operational risk assessments, TRRs, safety/airworthiness reviews)
Hands-on comfort in the field: working around vehicles, boats, aircraft, high voltage, propulsion systems, or other high-energy systems—calm, decisive, and methodical under pressure
Ability to communicate clearly across technical and non-technical audiences—confident presenting at reviews and aligning cross-functional teams around plan, risk, and execution
Experience leveraging test data for decision-making (telemetry review, anomaly triage, post-test reporting)
familiarity with instrumentation and data systems is a plus
