Job Description:
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. Seagliders operate across multiple regimes—hull-borne, hydrofoiling, and wing-borne—each with its own dynamics, failure modes, and performance sensitivities. To design and certify vehicles that live in all three, we need trusted, high-fidelity simulations to design, test, and train with. We’re seeking a Manager - Modeling & Simulation to own that mission. This role is both hands-on and leadership-focused: you will architect and build vehicle-level simulations, while leading a team, setting standards, mentoring engineers, and coordinating cross-functional work. You’ll be responsible for delivering simulation environments and a growing digital twin of Viceroy and future platforms while building the tools and team that make simulation a core product asset at REGENT. If you like combining deep modeling work, system-level thinking, and team leadership to shape an entirely new mode of transportation, this is the role.
