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.

The Production Development engineer is part of the Airworthiness team and supports the Product Safety, Product Certification, and Systems Engineering groups with trade studies to evaluate product and feature configurations, development of compliance and safety strategies, and airplane level integration activities. The Product Development team participates in industry groups and has a role in communicating with the FAA and other regulators throughout the type certification process. The Product Development engineer must be a self-starter that can manage complex technical projects, coordinate and communicate effectively within BETA and to our customers and regulators, and has a passion for electrifying aviation.
