About the role#
REGENT is developing the Seaglider, a new category of vehicle designed for coastal transportation. As a Systems Engineering Intern on the Certification team, you will help bridge the gap between design concepts and a certified product. This role focuses on the processes and systems engineering evidence that form the regulatory foundation of our vehicles. You will work with real vehicle requirements, help draft safety assessment analyses, and contribute to verification artifacts. This is a process-focused position rather than a craft design role. You will gain hands-on experience in how a certification program operates while helping us build a more rigorous and transparent structure for our engineering milestones.
What you'll do#
- Work directly with the Systems and Certification team on real vehicle requirements and safety assessment analyses.
- Learn the Jama Connect platform and how we structure and track requirements, safety assessments, and certification artifacts.
- Study our Engineering Lifecycle Management (RELM) processes to map out which items require review and sign-off at major design milestones.
- Design a documented, repeatable process for future design reviews, which may include creating review checklists or dashboard tools.
- Develop AI-assisted workflows to improve team efficiency.
- Deliver a formal process document or a working dashboard tool ready for team adoption by the end of your internship.
What you'll need#
- Currently pursuing a degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Mechanical Engineering.
- Ability to drive projects forward and reach out to cross-functional teams without needing constant direction.
- Effective communication skills and a collaborative approach to working with stakeholders.
- Capacity to adapt to changing priorities and requirements.
- Familiarity with the Systems Engineering V-Model, INCOSE requirements-writing guidelines, or system safety concepts (such as MIL-STD-882, ARP4761, FHAs, FMEAs, or FTAs) is a plus.
- Experience with Jama Connect, IBM DOORS, or Siemens Polarion is helpful but not required.
- Experience using AI tools to build workflows or dashboards is a strong plus.
Location & details#
- Location: North Kingstown, Rhode Island, United States.
- Term: Summer 2027.
- Modality: On-site.
- Employment: Full-time internship.
- Compensation: This is a paid position.
