REGENT
Join to apply for the
Embedded Systems Software Engineer
role at
REGENT At REGENT, we’re on a mission to revolutionize regional transportation between coastal cities. We’re building a new category of transportation: the seaglider, a wing-in-ground-effect craft that travels just above the water’s surface. Capable of 180 miles at 180 mph on today’s battery tech (and up to 400 miles with next-gen batteries), seagliders aim to unlock fast, affordable, and sustainable coastal transit for passengers and cargo. Backed by leading investors and powered by a team of engineers, builders, and operators, we’re scaling from a breakthrough prototype to full production — and building the team to make it happen. Role Overview As an
Embedded Systems Software Engineer , you’ll play a critical role in supporting our internal demonstrator platform that helps test and showcase new features before they make it into our full-scale vehicles. You’ll contribute to embedded software development, simulation testing, and hands-on electronics work, helping ensure our platform stays reliable, testable, and ready to evolve. You’ll manage real-time software and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing, wire up harnesses, and spin up GUIs. Your work will directly impact how we prototype, validate, and push the boundaries of our tech. You’ll collaborate closely with our controls, avionics, and modeling teams to ensure a smooth path from concept to demo — both on the bench and at sea. If you’re energized by working at the intersection of cutting-edge innovation, real-world impact, and hands-on engineering, you’ll be in the right place — and we’d be thrilled to have you on the team! What You'll Do
Own Seaglider Demonstrator Embedded Software Stack: Maintain, debug, and improve the real-time software that runs on our autonomous seaglider demonstrator, from microcontroller code to Linux-based applications. Support Simulation and HIL Testing: Work with our modeling and controls teams to integrate Simulink-based controllers into demonstrator simulation and test environment. Manage COTS Electronics & Harnessing: Set up and maintain the electronics ecosystem — from sensors and servos to single-board computers, harnesses, and breakout boards. Improve Developer Tools and Processes: Automate build systems, streamline deployment pipelines, and build tooling to make it easy for others to work with Squire. Prototype and Field-Test: Be a key part of the sea trials team — monitoring operation, running diagnostics, troubleshooting in the field, and reliably showing off our latest seaglider capabilities. What You'll Bring
2+ years of experience writing C++ for embedded systems (Linux, RTOS, or bare metal) Strong hands-on experience with microcontrollers and common embedded interfaces (Serial, CAN, PWM, ADCs, DIO, etc.) Ability to read, interpret, and contribute to wiring diagrams and electrical schematics Comfortable scripting with Python, MATLAB, or similar tools Bonus Experience
Experience with LabVIEW or Simulink for DAQ and HIL systems Familiarity with actuation systems like servo motors Past field-testing experience and a knack for troubleshooting electronics in real-world environments Experience with building and operating unmanned aircraft (UAVs) or unmanned surface vessels (USVs) Who We're Looking For
Collaborative Team Player: You believe great things happen when teams work together. You communicate effectively and collaborate with engineers, stakeholders, and other cross-functional teams to align on goals and move projects forward. You bring people together, ensuring that everyone is on the same page and moving towards a shared vision. Creative Problem Solver: You thrive on tackling complex challenges and finding innovative solutions. You’re wiring up hardware, chasing down a timing bug, or hacking together a test harness on short notice, approaching each challenge with curiosity and practicality. Adaptable & Agile: In a fast-paced startup environment, you adapt to changing priorities and requirements with a calm, resilient mindset. Innovative Mindset: You’re driven by curiosity and a passion for technology, and you’re focused on continuous improvement and embracing new technologies. What We Offer
Competitive compensation including a robust equity incentive plan. Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance — we cover 100% of your premiums. 401(k) with company matching. Generous flexible time off, paid parental leave, and company-wide holiday breaks. Relocation packages available for those moving to join our team. Daily, free catered lunches Learning & professional development opportunities If you’re ready to take on an exciting challenge and make a lasting impact, we want to hear from you. Even if you don’t meet every requirement, you’re welcome to apply. We value diverse skillsets and experiences and believe in the potential of passionate individuals to make a big impact. Equal Opportunity Employer REGENT is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive work environment.
