Modeling & Simulation Intern (Summer) at Regent · LumiJobs

Responsibilities

REGENT's Modeling and Simulation team sits at the intersection between controls, performance, and test — the place where flight dynamics, hydrodynamics, and vehicle data all come together to answer one question: how does the Seaglider actually behave, and how do we make the model match reality? As our intern on this team, you'll work across multiple Seaglider programs at very different stages of life — from envelope expansion on a vehicle that's already flying, to ramping up on-water testing on another, to helping build modeling and simulation infrastructure from scratch on our newest program. Your day-to-day will center on building, running, and refining simulations in MATLAB/Simulink, and helping turn real test data into sharper, more trustworthy models.
This is a role for someone who wants the wide view rather than a narrow lane. Instead of specializing early in one technical corner, you'll get exposure to flight dynamics, hydrodynamics, and controls all at once, and you'll see how a model evolves differently depending on whether a program is just getting started or already pushing its performance envelope. You'll be working alongside engineers who care deeply about getting the model right and who are genuinely invested in helping you build real technical depth along the way.
If you're someone who gets energized by breadth, by ambiguity with real structure behind it, and by the idea of helping shape how REGENT understands its own vehicles, we'd love to have you on the team.
Build and Run Simulations: You'll work hands-on in MATLAB/Simulink to build, run, and refine simulations that model how our Seagliders actually perform. This is the core toolset the team relies on every day, and you'll use it across more than one program.
Turn Test Data Into Better Models: You'll help translate real flight and on-water test data into model improvements, closing the loop between what we predict and what actually happens. Your work will directly sharpen the accuracy of the models the rest of the team relies on.
Support Envelope Expansion: You'll contribute to analysis supporting envelope expansion on an established Seaglider program, helping define and refine performance limits based on real test results.
Help Ramp Up On-Water Testing: On a program moving into a new testing phase, you'll help build out the modeling and simulation support needed to keep pace with an accelerating on-water test campaign.
Stand Up Modeling From the Ground Up: On our newest program, you'll get the rare opportunity to help build modeling and simulation work from first principles, shaping foundational models rather than just maintaining existing ones.
Contribute to Verification and Validation: Depending on where your interests take you, you may help write simulation-driven test sequences that support software verification and validation across the vehicle.
Collaborate Across Disciplines: You'll pull in inputs from controls, performance, and test teams rather than working in isolation, giving you a genuinely integrative view of how the whole vehicle comes together.
What You'll Bring
MATLAB and Simulink Fluency: You're comfortable building and running simulations in MATLAB/Simulink without needing hand-holding on the basics. This is the team's primary tool, and you'll be using it from day one.
