Systems Engineer

Role Overview Every certified vehicle runs on a foundation of requirements: what the system must do, how we know it does it, and how that traces back to the regulations that make it safe to fly. As a Systems Engineer on our Certification team, you'll own that foundation for an assigned set of our commercial Seaglider program Viceroy’s systems - authoring, managing, and verifying requirements, deriving them from regulatory documents and system safety analyses, and keeping them traceable as the design evolves. This is a hands-on, artifact-producing role. You'll work directly with team leads across electrical, mechanical, and/or software engineering to derive and verify requirements, author verification procedures, and conduct system safety analyses for the systems you own. You'll manage all of it in our requirements management tool, where requirements traceability has to hold up to regulatory scrutiny. As you ramp, you'll take on more of Viceroy's systems and help sharpen how REGENT organizes this work company-wide. What You’ll Do Derive and verify requirements. Work with team leads to author system, high-, and low-level requirements, and create and oversee the verification programs that confirm them. Work with multidisciplinary design teams. Ensure requirements are being tracked, provide design input and guidance, and help design teams resolve the challenges they hit in satisfying the system's requirements. Trace requirements to their source. Derive requirements from regulatory documents and standards, and from system safety analyses, keeping traceability current as Viceroy's design evolves. Conduct system safety analyses. Perform Functional Hazard Analysis (FHA), Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), and Failure Modes, Effects, and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) for your assigned systems. Support certification compliance. Help ensure Viceroy's systems meet both international and domestic certification requirements. Own requirements management. Keep system-level requirements and their traceability to component-level and external requirements accurate and audit-ready. Improve how we work. Bring recommendations for how REGENT's systems engineering processes and requirements organization can get better as the team and program scale. What You’ll Bring Demonstrated experience working independently on safety-critical systems in a regulated environment such as aerospace, maritime, medical, nuclear, or another highly regulated industry. This is an individual contributor role with meaningful technical ownership, not a people management position. Strong requirements engineering experience, including developing, documenting, tracing, and maintaining technical requirements throughout the development lifecycle, with hands‑on experience using tools such as Jama, Polarion, DOORS, or equivalent platforms. Experience with system-level testing and verification, including developing test or verification approaches and working through results to demonstrate that requirements have been met. Experience developing system safety and risk analyses, such as Functional Hazard Analysis (FHA), Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), and Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA). A technical foundation that allows you to work effectively across engineering disciplines, with experience in areas such as aerodynamics, hydrodynamics, electrical systems, mechanical systems, or controls. Flying, sailing, or boating experience is a plus. Who We’re Looking For Collaborative Systems Thinker: You know the hardest systems problems rarely belong to one team. You build strong working relationships across disciplines, listen to different technical perspectives, and help teams work through competing requirements, interfaces, and tradeoffs toward the best overall solution. Comfortable in Ambiguity: You’re energized by problems that don’t have a clear precedent or established path forward. You can break down complex questions, identify what matters most, and use sound technical judgment to move the work forward even when all the answers aren’t known yet. Thoughtful Technical Partner: You bring strong opinions and technical depth without needing to be the loudest voice in the room. You ask good questions, challenge assumptions constructively, give useful feedback, and help teammates arrive at stronger solutions. Builder Mindset: You don’t just work within the systems and processes that exist today. You look for ways to make the work better - improving tools, processes, and technical practices in ways that help the team operate more effectively as REGENT grows. 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, so you can plan for the future. Generous flexible time off, paid parental leave, and company-wide holiday breaks. Relocation packages available for those moving to join our team.
