Senior Manager, Structures

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, Structures, you’ll lead the team responsible for one of the most fundamental aspects of a safe, certifiable vehicle - ensuring our Seaglider can withstand everything it encounters in service, and proving it to the standards required for certification.

You’ll join an existing team of capable engineers and become their functional home: setting technical standards, developing careers, and building a cohesive, disciplined group that programs across REGENT can rely on. You’ll own the quality and consistency of structural analysis, margin documentation, and certification artifacts - not just for one program, but as a function.

Working closely with Loads & Dynamics, Flight Physics, and Manufacturing, you’ll own the structural side of critical cross-functional interfaces: how loads are applied, how margins are calculated, how FEM fidelity is maintained, and how test correlation closes the loop between analysis and reality.

This is a player-coach role. You’ll lead and develop the team while staying technically engaged - doing hands-on work alongside the team and earning credibility through depth...
