Director, Hardware Engineering

As Director, Hardware Engineering, you’ll lead REGENT’s hardware engineering organization through its next critical phase - stepping into a team with real momentum and helping evolve it into the high-performing, process-mature organization that can carry Seaglider programs from concept through certification and into production. You’re joining a sizable organization with strong technical talent and real momentum already in motion. This is not a blank-slate build - the foundations are in place, and the next chapter is about strengthening leadership, sharpening execution, and building the systems needed to scale.

Your first priority will be to listen, assess, and earn trust: understand where the team is strongest, where friction exists, and what support leaders and engineers need to perform at their best.

From that foundation, you’ll lead the next stage of growth - strengthening the organization where it matters most and building the capabilities required for scale. A core part of the role is coaching and developing functional managers into exceptional leaders: helping them raise performance, grow their teams, navigate tough decisions, and lead with greater clarity and accountability. You’ll build leadership capacity while creating an environment where managers can operate with ownership and consistency.
