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 ice protection system design engineer is responsible for owning the ice protection system from conception through production implementation. Specific responsibilities include the design, modeling, analysis, integration, drawing creation, and testing of the aircraft ice protection system. The ice protection system will protect the airfoils, propellers, cooling and vent inlets and outlets, air data probes, windshield and be certified for Flight Into Known Ice (FIKI) conditions.
