About the role#
REGENT is looking for an Engineering Intern to work directly with the Chief Engineer on the Viceroy program. This role is designed for those who want to understand how a complex vehicle program fits together from start to finish. You will not be limited to a single discipline. Instead, you will move across systems, mechanical, electrical, controls, and software tasks as the program requires. This is a newly created position, giving you the opportunity to help shape the role and define how systems engineering functions at REGENT.
What you'll do#
- Contribute to analysis and drawing work to keep the Viceroy program moving forward.
- Complete a cross-discipline trade study by the midpoint of your term to understand how system-level decisions impact performance, cost, and schedule.
- Work to get an integrated subsystem running in the hardware-in-the-loop environment by the end of your term.
- Collaborate with engineers and cross-functional teams to align on goals and resolve installation or electrical issues during integration and testing.
- Improve processes and anticipate downstream impacts to ensure fixes are scalable.
- Receive direct coaching and mentorship from the Chief Engineer.
What you'll need#
- Current studies or experience in mechanical, electrical, computer, or systems engineering.
- Exposure to mechanisms or electromechanical systems is a plus.
- Comfort with ambiguity and working in a role without a fixed lane.
- Ability to communicate effectively across different technical disciplines and teams.
- A practical, inventive approach to problem-solving and a strong appetite to learn.
- Ability to adapt to changing priorities and requirements.
- Genuine interest in Seagliders and coastal transportation.
Location & details#
- Location: North Kingstown, Rhode Island.
- Term: Summer 2027.
- Modality: On-site.
- This is a paid, full-time internship position.
