R&D Engineer - Advanced 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, 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. 

As an R&D Engineer, you will use your core technical competencies to design advanced propulsion solutions for the future of flight. You will be expected to leverage your experiences, knowledge, and first principles thinking towards problem solving to create an optimal product. You will utilize your knowledge of design for manufacturing, common tooling or process design constraints, quick concept prototyping, testing and down-selection to rapidly iterate on design ideas to design optimal systems. As part of a small team, you will solve complex problems with little direction and maximum autonomy.
