Mechanical Design Engineer - Propulsion

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, together 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 Propulsion Mechanical Design Engineer will contribute to the development of propulsion system components used in the motors and inverters, from a blank page to a certified product.  Not only do we design, build and test the motors and inverters, we also develop manufacturing tooling and validation equipment such as propeller stands, dynos, and benchtop test rigs.    Our design to validation cycle is extremely rapid and we own it all.  If you love to design, analyze, build, and test your ideas at a fast pace, you’ll be happy at Beta.
