Mechanical Design Engineer

As a Mechanical Design Engineer at REGENT, you'll design, refine, and mature the mechanical systems that make our Seagliders work — spanning structures, mechanisms, actuation, fluid handling, and vehicle-level integration. This is a hands-on design role on our Hardware Engineering team, and it exists because we're scaling from a prototype environment toward full-rate production and need dedicated design capacity to improve, troubleshoot, and harden the wide variety of mechanical systems across our platforms.

You'll own mechanical design work across Squire, Paladin, and Viceroy — taking subsystems and mechanisms from concept through CAD, analysis, prototype, and test. You'll size fasteners and joints, run the hand calculations and analyses that justify a design, build and test prototypes in the lab, and work shoulder-to-shoulder with our electrical, software, and program management teams to close integration challenges. Over time, you'll become a technical focal point for one or more areas of ownership.

Success in this role looks like becoming a trusted, go-to contributor: independently progressing designs, identifying real issues rather than just executing tasks, and helping mature key REGENT technologies like hydrofoil retraction and control surface actuation toward production. Within a year, you'll be shaping mechanical system architectures and making sound engineering decisions with limited oversight.
