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) Change Management role is responsible for managing all aspects of the flight test change management process. The flight test change management process will entail managing changes that affect experimental company owned in-service aircraft, aircraft configured for company and certification flight testing and future design changes that may affect customer delivered aircraft.

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

The FT change management team members work cross-functionally with Certification Engineers, Systems Engineers, Design Engineers, and other Aircraft Stakeholders providing critical data and process inputs to design and flight test changes. The FT change management team member will maintain the traceability and auditability of product configuration changes in the PLM, ERP, and as-maintained databases.
