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 Senior Configuration Engineer is responsible for ensuring aircraft configuration compliance to FAA and Industry requirements.  The engineer will work closely with the Airworthiness, Engineering, Production, and Quality teams to implement and operate configuration control processes for full aircraft development including both Hardware and Software Systems.  The Senior Configuration Engineer will administer the regular meeting and agenda of the Problem Resolution (PRB) and Change Control Boards (CCB).  They will work closely with other Configuration Engineers and cross functional team members to guide and manage the governed processes. The Configuration Engineer will work as a focal point with cross functional stakeholders to ensure that the configuration of all aircraft products is fully defined, traceable, and auditable for the complete lifecycle of all developed aircraft.

The Configuration & Release Engineer may work remotely but is expected to be available for onsite work at BETA Technologies locations in Montreal Canada and/or in Burlington Vermont.  Candidates should be available to be onsite 1-3 days per week as needed.
