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.

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 a design engineer to join the Battery Team to own subsystems and components of the high voltage system. This person will be responsible for technical problem solving, improving designs, and working with others to manufacture and certify aviation battery packs. This position requires a blend of mechanical, electrical, and thermal knowledge and a willingness to bring new technologies and materials to bring increased performance and ensure safety standards are met or exceeded.

As a Battery Design Engineer, you will work in a small team environment to design, test, and bring to production new and innovative battery packs to advance Beta’s commitments to sustainability, performance, and safety. This position offers the possibility to learn something new every day and help shape the future of aviation.
