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 Ground Support Equipment - Design Engineer will work as part of the Infrastructure Product Team developing Ground Support Equipment (GSE) for BETA’s eVTOL aircraft. As part of the team, you will be responsible for the design and development of ground-based equipment that supports electric flight, for example, cable management solutions for charging, integration of charging solutions within heliports/vertiports, and cooling systems. In this role, you will work as part of a cross-functional, product development team. Part of your time will be participating in industry working groups on safety and certification requirements to gather information and represent BETA’s position.
