REGENT Craft is revolutionizing coastal transportation with their innovative electric seagliders. As the Flight Software Lead, you'll be at the forefront of developing critical flight control systems for a vehicle that operates in multiple modes: hull-borne, hydrofoil-borne, and wing-borne. This role combines aerospace engineering with maritime technology, working on a vehicle that never flies higher than a few meters off the water, achieving twice the range of traditional electric aircraft.
The position requires expertise in embedded systems, real-time software development, and safety-critical systems. You'll be responsible for implementing flight control software, building simulation environments, and ensuring compliance with aviation safety standards (DO-178C). Working closely with cross-functional teams, you'll contribute to both prototype development and production systems.
REGENT is backed by top-tier investors behind companies like SpaceX and Boom Supersonic, with nearly half a billion dollars in provisional orders. The company offers competitive benefits including healthcare, dental, and vision plans, plus bonus opportunities. This is a unique chance to join a growing team of 40 passionate professionals working to transform regional transportation with zero-emission technology.
The role is based in the Boston/Providence area, with relocation assistance available. You'll be working in a fast-paced startup environment where your contributions will directly impact the development of groundbreaking technology. The position requires 7+ years of aerospace experience and strong expertise in C/C++ embedded software development, making it ideal for a senior engineer looking to make a significant impact in sustainable transportation.
