REGENT
At REGENT, we’re on a mission to revolutionize regional transportation between coastal cities. We're not just building vehicles, we're creating a new category of transportation: the seaglider. These groundbreaking wing-in-ground-effect craft travel just above the water’s surface, combining the speed of an airplane with the low operating costs of a boat. Capable of 180 miles at 180 mph on today's battery tech (and up to 400 miles with next-gen batteries), seagliders will unlock fast, affordable, and sustainable coastal transit for passengers and cargo - connecting cities, islands, and communities like never before.
Backed by leading investors and powered by a team of passionate, forward-thinking engineers, builders, and operators, we’re now scaling from a breakthrough prototype to full production - and building the team to make it happen.
Role Overview We are seeking an experienced and dynamic
Senior Composite Technician
to join our team in the development of the seaglider, a groundbreaking wing-in-ground-effect vehicle that will transform regional coastal transportation. This role requires a seasoned builder who excels in hands‑on composite fabrication and optimizing build processes, ensuring high standards of safety and quality. As the Senior Composite Technician, you will drive innovation and operational excellence in a fast‑paced, high‑stakes environment.
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
Fabricate, assemble, and integrate composite vehicle parts, following precise build procedures like prepreg lamination, vacuum bagging, and infusion. Interpret engineering drawings, communicate process updates, and provide prototype feedback.
Work closely with multidisciplinary teams, including design, manufacturing, and reliability engineering, to facilitate efficient part manufacturing and ensure compliance with project timelines and budgets.
Provide advanced technical support in the assembly, design, and maintenance of structural components. Troubleshoot complex systems and processes, ensuring high‑quality build standards.
Ensure adherence to safety regulations and company policies. Promote a culture of safety within the team and participate in safety training initiatives.
Implement and execute quality assurance protocols to ensure all products meet industry standards. Conduct inspections and maintain accurate quality documentation.
Maintain accurate records of fabrication processes, inspections, and maintenance activities. Prepare reports and contribute to technical documentation.
Collaborate with engineering to develop processes, build techniques, tooling, and implement efficient lamination, cure, and trim practices. Identify opportunities for process improvements and implement best practices.
Mentor and train fellow technicians in composite fabrication practices, leading small teams in project tasks to promote skill development and team efficiency.
What You’ll Bring
Advanced and professional experience in a hands‑on composite manufacturing environment, preferably in aerospace, automotive, or marine industry
Ability to modify and repair infused and prepreg carbon fiber composite structures, cored structures, and local reinforcements
Proficiency in reading and understanding detailed ply layups, schematics, technical drawings, manuals, and reports
Ability to provide engineering with feedback on build process and manufacturability
Demonstrated ability to use precision measuring instruments, gauge blocks, lasers, gravity measurement techniques, and working with metrology specialists
Ability to work effectively in a team environment and adapt to rapidly changing roles and responsibilities in a high‑paced, challenging work environment
Ability to adapt to rapidly changing work assignments and environments
Must be able to work extended hours on‑site, including weekends, and be flexible with shift work (1st or 2nd shift).
Willingness to travel up to 10% for short and extended trips as needed.
Physical ability to perform job duties, including standing or sitting for extended periods and lifting up to 25 lbs.
