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.

This position will be based primarily in South Burlington with the expectation that commuting to Plattsburgh, NY will be required as needed. Instrumentation Engineer is a key support role for our upcoming certification flight test program for data collection, retrieval and storage. This position requires an engineer who can lead the development, design, installation, and maintenance of Flight Test Instrumentation Systems for experimental aircraft and testing platforms. This will require working with engineering teams for overall assessment of requirements, and then applying those requirements to the selection, design, and integration of the flight test instrumentation systems. The Instrumentation Engineer will provide hands-on support for Data Acquisition installations, and day-to-day operations (preflights, data retrieval, storage, and general system maintenance).

Physical Demands and Work Environment:

Ability to coordinate with aircraft maintenance teams and work in parallel with them for hands-on support of multiple data acquisition systems. Possible evenings and weekends, as dictated by testing schedule priorities.

Video Interview:

Please be aware that you may be invited to complete a Video Screening interview. This invite will be sent by email ([email protected]). We highly recommend completing this step of the application process within the following 48 hours should you be invited.
