- Implement telemetry, logging, fault management, fail-safe behavior, test harnesses, and software updates with rollback.
- Own software integration scheduling for upcoming tests and debug issues in the field.
- Define and build the vehicle-side interface used by the autonomy stack.
- Mentor earlier-career engineers and uphold coding, review, and engineering practices.
Requirements

About REGENT
REGENT designs and manufactures all-electric seaglider vessels—wing-in-ground-effect craft that travel just above the water—for coastal passenger and cargo transport. Founded in 2020 and headquartered in North Kingstown, Rhode Island, the privately held company’s initial 12-passenger Viceroy model targets routes up to about 180 miles at roughly 180 mph using existing dock infrastructure. It sells vehicles and supporting systems to ferry operators, logistics providers, and other coastal transportation customers.
