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.

The Flight Test (FT) Bill of Material (BOM) Management Engineer is responsible for leading the configuration and maintenance of aircraft Bills of Materials (BOMs) across the flight test fleet. This includes:

· Experimental, company-owned aircraft

· Aircraft configured for company flight testing or FAA certification efforts

· Design changes that may impact future customer-delivered configurations

This role is crucial to the process of obtaining and maintaining FAA certification to produce, supply, and operate aircraft.

The FT BOM Management Engineer work cross-functionally with Certification Engineers, Systems Engineers, Design Engineers, Flight Test Engineers, and Supply Chain to manage BOM changes and maintain alignment between the PLM, ERP, and as-maintained data.

This role will be responsible for ensuring BOM accuracy and auditability, managing changes in accordance with internal procedures, and enabling efficient downstream processes.
