Job description

Production Control Warehouse Specialist

Streamline material flow between warehouse and production to support ramp-up of Seaglider manufacturing

Location: North Kingstown, Rhode Island

About The Role

Production Control Warehouse Specialist

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.

What You'll Do

• Receive, inspect, and put away incoming materials, verifying quantity, condition, and documentation against purchase orders.
• Maintain inventory accuracy through regular cycle counts, promptly researching and resolving discrepancies.
• Build and stage kits against bills of material (BOMs) and work orders, and deliver them to assembly stations on schedule.
• Operate forklifts and other material handling equipment safely within warehouse and production areas.
• Maintain lot/serial traceability and documentation for flight-critical and export-controlled hardware.
• Support daily production control stand-ups with real-time shortage and WIP status.
• Keep warehouse areas organized, labeled, and audit-ready in line with 5S and AS9100 practices.

What You'll Bring

• Warehouse, inventory, or material handling experience in a manufacturing, aerospace, marine, or DoD logistics environment.
• Working knowledge of ERP/WMS inventory transactions and comfort with Excel and RF scanning tools.
• Forklift certification, or the ability to obtain it quickly.
• A sharp eye for detail and a strong sense of ownership over inventory accuracy.
• Ability to lift up to 50 lbs and work on your feet in an active shop-floor environment.
• Eligibility as a U.S. Person under ITAR/EAR.

Bonus Experience

• Aerospace, marine, or defense manufacturing background.
• Lean/5S or continuous improvement experience.
• Military logistics or supply background

Who We're Looking For

• 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. 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.
• 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.

What We Offer

• Daily free catered lunches
• Learning & professional development opportunities
• Meaningful projects that make an impact
• Mentorship & guidance from experienced team members
