Engineering Technician - Battery Systems

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 Engineering Technician is responsible for hands on maintenance and improvement of the high

voltage energy storage system in a first-of-its-kind, fully electric aircraft. As an Engineering Technician

at Beta Technologies you will develop a deep understanding of our energy storage system design and

use that knowledge on a daily basis to support our ongoing flight test campaign with tasks such as

charging, testing and overhauling high voltage battery packs. As an open minded and outside-the-box

thinker you will perpetually strive to supplement your past industry experience with new knowledge

gained every day through research and experimentation. You will work with a small team to constantly

improve the safety and efficiency of our products, whether taking a lead role in repair work or using

CAD and access to a fully staffed machine shop to build new tools and ground support equipment. You

will be an integral part of flight testing and witness the birth of electric aviation firsthand. You will be

challenged every day and probably have a lot of fun.
