Job summary

REGENT seeks a Modeling and Simulation intern to work across multiple Seaglider programs, building and refining simulations in MATLAB/Simulink. You will turn real test data into sharper models while supporting envelope expansion and on-water testing.

You’ll gain breadth across flight dynamics, hydrodynamics, and controls, collaborating with controls, performance, and test engineers to shape foundational models for new programs.

Qualifications

• Experience with MATLAB/Simulink for modeling and simulations.
• Familiarity with Linux environments and command-line tools.
• Background or coursework in flight dynamics or hydrodynamics.
• Understanding of control systems and plant models.
• Strong problem-solving skills and independent work style.

Responsibilities

• Build and run simulations in MATLAB/Simulink to model Seagliders across programs.
• Translate test data into improved models and validate simulation outputs.
• Support envelope expansion using data-driven insights.
• Assist ramp-up on-water testing with modeling and simulation support.
• Stand up modeling work from first principles on new programs.
• Contribute to verification and validation through simulation-driven test sequences.
• Collaborate across controls, performance, and test disciplines.
