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.\nBacked 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.\nRole Overview\nREGENT's perception team is taking on a new kind of problem: instead of relying on a single Seaglider's sensors to understand its surroundings, what if a fleet of Seagliders could share what they see and build a more complete picture together? That's the question at the center of this internship. You'll join the Perception team to study existing approaches to multi-agent information fusion, then design or adapt an algorithm suited to how our platform actually operates, and demonstrate it against simulated and, where available, real data.\nThis is genuinely greenfield work. There's no existing playbook to extend here, which means you'll have real room to shape the direction of the project, backed by a defined deliverable, a named mentor, and weekly check-ins so you're never working in a vacuum. Your simulation work will be grounded in real platform and sensor characteristics so your results carry meaning beyond the page, and at the end of your term you'll present your findings directly to the perception engineers who would build on them next.\nIf you're the kind of person who gets energized by open problems rather than intimidated by them, and you want to see your research connect to an actual vehicle system rather than stay theoretical, this is a rare chance to help define a new area of perception work at a company reinventing how we move across water.\nWhat You'll Do\nSurvey the Landscape: You'll research existing approaches to multi-agent and distributed information fusion to understand what's been tried and what might translate well to REGENT's Seagliders.\n\nDesign a Fusion Approach: You'll propose or adapt an algorithm for combining sensor data across multiple Seagliders into a shared, more complete picture of the environment.\n\nBuild Grounded Simulations: You'll build simulation environments in Python or MATLAB that reflect real platform and sensor characteristics, so your results are meaningful beyond a theoretical exercise.\n\nTest and Validate: You'll test your algorithm in simulation and, where available, against real data, refining your approach based on what you find.\n\nWork Closely With a Mentor: You'll partner with a dedicated mentor through weekly check-ins, getting guidance and feedback as you navigate genuinely new territory for the team.\n\nCommunicate What You Learn: You'll translate your technical work into clear findings that others on the team can understand and build on.\n\nPresent to the People Who'll Use It: At the end of your term, you'll present your algorithm and results directly to the perception team that could put this work into practice next.\n\nWhat You'll Bring\nStrong Math Fundamentals: You have a solid foundation in probability theory, statistics, and linear algebra, the toolkit you'll need to engage with multi-agent estimation problems.\n\nEstimation Theory Basics: You're familiar with state estimation concepts, such as the Kalman filter, through coursework or project experience.\n\nComfort Building in Code: You're comfortable using Python or MATLAB to build simulations and analyze results.\n\nSharp Analytical Thinking: You can reason carefully through technical problems and communicate your conclusions clearly to others.\n\nA Curious, Self-Starting Mindset: You're self-motivated and genuinely curious, ready to learn quickly on a project that's new territory for the team itself.\n\nWho We're Looking For\nCollaborative Team Player: You believe that 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.\n\nCreative Problem Solver: You thrive on tackling complex challenges and finding innovative solutions. Whether you're resolving installation challenges, debugging elusive electrical issues, or adapting on the fly during integration and test, you bring a practical, inventive mindset to every problem. You don't just patch issues - you improve processes, anticipate downstream impacts, and help turn one-off fixes into scalable solutions that raise the bar for future builds.\n\nAdaptable & Agile: In a fast-paced, ever-evolving startup environment, you quickly adapt to changing priorities and requirements. You approach challenges with a calm, resilient mindset, and know how to pivot and adjust your approach as needed, ensuring that progress continues without missing a beat.\n\nInnovative Mindset: You're driven by curiosity and a passion for technology. You're passionate about driving continuous improvement, embracing new technologies and methodologies to enhance efficiency, quality, and team performance.\n\nWhat We Offer\nCompetitive compensation\n\nHousing Stipend available for those temporarily moving to join our team\n\nDaily, free catered lunches\n\nLearning & professional development opportunities\n\nMeaningful projects that make an impact\n\nMentorship & guidance from experienced team members\n\nIf you’re ready to take on an exciting challenge, grow with us, and make a lasting impact, we want to hear from you. Even if you don’t meet every requirement, but you see yourself contributing to our mission, we encourage you to apply! We value diverse skillsets and experiences and believe in the potential of passionate individuals to make a big impact.\nEqual Opportunity Employer\nREGENT is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
