Mechanical Engineering Intern

REGENT is building the seaglider; the first electric flying machine that will transport commercial passengers. With a vehicle that never flies higher than a few meters off the water, we unlock the ability to fly twice as far as an electric aircraft, and certification by maritime authorities which will let us fly first passengers by mid-decade.

We are actively hiring passionate interns who can help us get our vehicle to market as quickly and safely as possible. We are backed by the world’s best investors: the same investors who are behind SpaceX, Palantir, Boom Supersonic, and more. We have over $9B in provisional orders from some of the industry’s largest operators and are hitting the ground running.

REGENT is seeking a driven and talented Mechanical Engineering Intern to join our dynamic mechanical team. You’ll play a key role in supporting the design and development of our cutting-edge seaglider. This is a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience while working on mission-critical projects pushing innovation's boundaries.

Roles and Responsibilities:

Utilize 3-D routing CAD packages to layout and design electrical & mechanical systems
Design and analyze mounts and supports for electrical-mechanical systems within the vehicle
Produce high-quality mechanical design drawings to support project objectives
Independently execute minor projects or sub-projects, demonstrating autonomy and sound engineering judgment
Develop and optimize CAD models using NX
Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to integrate components and systems
Document and communicate findings through detailed technical reports and presentations

Depending on your strengths and interests, you may focus on:

Electromechanical Systems: Supporting the integration and optimization of electromechanical components
Mechanical Design/Drafting: Creating detailed CAD models and mechanical design drawings

Required Qualifications & Skills:

Currently pursuing a degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field
Strong problem-solving skills, critical thinking ability, and solid understanding of engineering first principles
Proficiency in CAD software such as AutoCAD or SolidWorks; experience with NX is a plus
Hands-on experience working on complex hardware products, ideally in aerospace, automotive, or similar industries
Ability to read, interpret, and create engineering drawings
Experience through previous internships, research, or involvement with student design teams
Familiarity with building prototypes, setting up experiments, and running tests
Strong technical writing skills for documenting test results and design decisions
Experience with motion or dynamic applications is highly desirable

Working at REGENT, you’ll be in a fast-paced environment with exciting new challenges daily. Your mentors are passionate about building zero-emission, high-speed seagliders that will revolutionize coastal transportation. Our team works collaboratively and across disciplines to safely marry the latest technologies from aviation, aerospace and nautical engineering.

Our Benefits include:

· Free lunch catered daily

· Office amenities including snacks, drinks, coffee & espresso bar

· Dog-friendly office

· Flexible hours

· Company-sponsored recreational events
