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.

The electric propulsion test engineer is responsible for the development and implementation of test procedures and test equipment for aircraft electric motors and inverters. The test engineer will work closely with R&D engineers to create design validation test plans and select and or design the appropriate test equipment.

This is an awesome opportunity to help us revolutionize flight and we promise a fast-paced environment with a lot of fun times.
