About the company:

BETA Technologies is creating an electric transportation ecosystem that’s safe, reliable and sustainable. A relentlessly focused team is building an extensive charging infrastructure and ALIA, the world’s most technologically advanced electric vertical aircraft (EVA).

BETA’s platform and products are strikingly simple. Prioritization of safety and a pragmatic approach to certification drive elegant redundancy, appropriate diversity of implementation and simplicity of control. ALIA’s fixed-pitch propellers and centrally located batteries make it an inherently stable aircraft that is safe to fly and easy to maneuver.

At BETA Technologies, we apply our intellectual curiosity, passion for aviation, and commitment to sustainability toward a shared mission of revolutionizing electric aviation. Regardless of the position one holds, each team member brings their talent and desire to positively impact the environment and lives of others in a refreshing, vibrant, and inclusive culture.

We are seeking an embedded systems engineer to own the software development and verification for our on-aircraft charge management system. This person will be the technical owner for the embedded aspects of BETA’s Electric Vehicle Charge Controller (EVCC) for CCS charging. The position requires a blend of software, electrical, and battery knowledge and a willingness to explore new ideas and technologies to bring increased performance, reliability and ensure safety standards are met or exceeded. This person will work closely with our electrical hardware engineers and ground support equipment engineering team to create and integrate a complete charging system for our aircraft.

Build electric airplanes with us!

We encourage all driven candidates to apply, even if they do not meet every listed qualification.

We are an equal opportunity employer.
