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 Lead Verification Engineer owns verification strategy, planning, and execution for the Low Voltage (LV) Electrical System on BETA’s electric aircraft. The LV System converts energy from high-voltage (HV) packs into 28 VDC buses powering avionics, flight controls, and auxiliary devices. The role includes hands-on test development across novel technologies and legacy aerospace devices. You will work with Systems and Design Engineering to create ARP4754A requirements-based test plans, procedures, and cases, and guide engineers and suppliers through certification-oriented verification as BETA advances toward Type Certification.
