Regent Engineering Intern to the Chief Engineer at Regent will work across multiple disciplines on the Viceroy certification program. The role involves analysis, drawings, integration tasks, and leading a cross-discipline trade study.
Responsibilities
REGENT is looking for an Engineering Intern to work with the Chief Engineer - Viceroy, spending a summer at the center of Viceroy, our first manned certification program, working directly alongside the person responsible for how it all comes together. This isn't an internship built around one discipline or one team. You'll move across systems, mechanical, electrical, controls, and software work as the program demands it, picking up analysis, drawings, and integration tasks wherever the need is greatest during an intense and fast-moving stretch of the program. It's a rare chance to see how a complex vehicle program actually fits together end to end, rather than experiencing just one slice of it.
You'll sit within our Engineering & Technology team and report directly to the Chief Engineer, who will actively coach and mentor you through the breadth of the role rather than narrowing it down to something more conventional. Because this is a newly created position, you'll have real input into shaping what it becomes, including helping define what a technically grounded systems engineering path looks like at REGENT going forward. If you're the kind of person who gets energized by variety, wants to understand how mechanical, electrical, controls, and software decisions interact to shape a vehicle's performance, cost, and schedule, and is excited by the idea of helping bring Seagliders into reality from the inside, this is a role where you'll thrive.
Float Across the Program: You'll move across systems, mechanical, electrical, controls, and software work on Viceroy, going wherever the program needs help most on a given week.
Dig Into Analysis and Drawings: You'll contribute to the analysis and drawing work driving Viceroy forward during a particularly active stretch of the program.
Lead a Cross-Discipline Trade Study: By the midpoint of the term, you'll complete a trade study that touches multiple disciplines from start to finish, building a real understanding of how system-level decisions affect performance, cost, and schedule.
Build Toward Integration: You'll work toward getting an integrated subsystem running in our hardware-in-the-loop environment by the end of the term, whether that's a VCC controlling an actuator or a sensor-fused solution providing feedback.
Learn Directly From the Chief Engineer: You'll get hands-on coaching and mentorship as you navigate the breadth of the role, with someone invested in helping you connect the dots across disciplines.
What You'll Bring
Multidisciplinary Technical Grounding: You have real experience or coursework in systems, mechanical, electrical, controls, or software engineering, and ideally more than one of these.
Mechatronics Curiosity: Exposure to mechanisms or electromechanical systems is a plus and will help you move comfortably between disciplines.
Genuine Enthusiasm for Seagliders: You're drawn to the idea of reinventing coastal transportation and want to understand how a real vehicle program comes together.
Comfort With Ambiguity: You're energized rather than overwhelmed by a role without a fixed lane, and you're ready to shape your own path alongside your manager.
