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 Instrumentation Engineer is responsible for instrumentation and data acquisition needs at our new, state-of-the-art test facility in St Albans, VT.

Test needs range from one-off research and development tests, to extensively planned tests witnessed by the FAA for certification credit. An ideal candidate has the attention to detail to ensure each test produces useful data and has the drive and motivation to see things through to completion no matter the challenge.
