Senior Manager, Loads & Dynamics

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.

ROLE OVERVIEW:

As the Senior Manager, Loads & Dynamics, you will build and lead the function that defines the forces our vehicles must withstand - and ensures those definitions are technically sound, internally consistent, and certifiable.

This role sits at the foundation of vehicle integrity. You’ll establish the methodologies, assumptions, and datasets that drive structural design, inform flight physics, and underpin certification. Today, these responsibilities are distributed across teams; your role is to bring them into a coherent, defensible system.

You’ll start as a player-coach: setting direction, doing hands-on technical work, and building the team over time. You’ll work across Structures, Flight Physics, and Certification to align on a single source of truth for loads - resolving ambiguity, closing gaps, and ensuring the program is built on a solid and scalable foundation.

Success in this role means the organization is operating from a single, trusted loads basis - clearly defined, consistently applied, and ready to support both structural design and certification - supported by a strong, scalable Loads & Dynamic...
