Senior Actuation Engineer responsible for aerodynamic and hydrodynamic surface actuation controls for Seaglider transportation.
Обязанности
- As a Senior Actuation Engineer , you’ll own the Aerodynamic and Hydrodynamic surface actuation controls that help deliver flight-capable Seaglider hardware safely and on schedule. You’ll drive sizing, performance, requirements, and trade studies across key load cases, support certification-focused analysis and documentation, and help architecture a scalable actuation foundation as we evolve from prototype to product across multiple programs.
- You’ll be joining a group of driven, collaborative, and talented engineers who take pride in solving complex technical challenges and making an impact as a team. We hold a high bar for engineering rigor, move quickly, think boldly, and rely on our teamwork to push boundaries and bring entirely new technology into the world.
- 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!
- Own the actuation system architecture, requirements, performance and qualification.
- Deliver high-impact actuation trade studies supporting major milestones.
- Develop and maintain simulation models, assumptions, and documentation that enable repeatable, reviewable engineering decisions.
- Collaborate closely with loads, manufacturing, controls, GNC, integration and certification stakeholders to ensure as-built performance align with requirements, producibility, and verification needs.
- Contribute to improving team execution by helping refine procedures, templates, and best practices that reduce analysis bottlenecks.
- Certify the world’s first all electric Seaglider actuation control system!

- At , 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.
- 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. 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, bringing 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.
- 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, ensuring that progress continues without missing a beat.
- 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.
