Electromechanical Techinican

About the role

We’re looking for a mission-driven Electromechanical Technician to help bring REGENT’s groundbreaking Seagliders to life. In this role, you won’t just assemble parts—you’ll be building the future of coastal mobility by integrating and testing the critical systems that will make our vehicles fly just above the waves. This is an opportunity for a hands-on builder with a deep understanding of both mechanical and electrical systems to contribute to something truly transformative. If you've worked in aerospace, marine, robotics, or complex R&D environments and are energized by solving real-world problems with hardware, we’d be thrilled to have you on the team!

Responsibilities

• Assemble, install, and test integrated systems including motors, actuators, sensors, wire harnesses, control surfaces, and other electromechanical assemblies.
• Fabricate and route harnesses from schematics and 3D models, using crimping, soldering, and strain relief techniques to aerospace standards (e.g., IPC/WHMA-A-620).
• Troubleshoot system-level issues involving electrical, mechanical, or sensor components—identify root causes and propose solutions in collaboration with engineers.
• Read and interpret both electrical schematics and mechanical assembly drawings to support builds and integration.
• Install and calibrate moving systems, such as control surfaces, propulsion assemblies, or actuation systems, ensuring smooth mechanical operation and proper electrical interfacing.
• Support testing and validation of complete vehicle systems—both on the bench and integrated into seaglider platforms.
• Collaborate across disciplines (e.g., mechanical, electrical, avionics, and systems engineering) to rapidly iterate and improve design and build processes.
• Contribute to tooling, workspace setup, and safety practices, including safe handling of high-voltage systems and moving machinery.

Requirements

• Demonstrated experience building and supporting electromechanical systems—including actuators, sensors, motors, wiring, and control interfaces.
• Proficiency in using both mechanical and electrical hand tools, diagnostic instruments (multimeters, torque wrenches, etc.), and assembly techniques.
• Familiarity with aviation, aerospace, or high-reliability standards for assembly, harnessing, and workmanship (e.g., IPC-A-610, IPC/WHMA-A-620, or equivalent).
• Ability to read and follow electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and mechanical assembly drawings.
• Understanding of safe work practices around high-voltage systems, rotating machinery, and prototype environments.
• A collaborative mindset and the ability to adapt in a fast-paced prototyping environment.

Skills

• Collaborative 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.
• Creative 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.
• Adaptable & 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.
• Innovative 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.
