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 Sr. Mechanical Design Engineer is responsible for driving the development of innovative electric aircraft systems from conception through assembly and then through test/validation.
As a Sr. Mechanical Design Engineer at Beta Technologies you will work with a small team to rapidly develop new technologies for our electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft.
You will be expected to leverage your past industry experience and supplement with new knowledge gained through research and experimentation as you design, build, and validate critical systems and structures throughout the aircraft.
You will have CAD modeling and structural, thermal, and CFD analysis tools at your disposal to help you ensure that your designs are meeting or exceeding all design, safety, and regulatory requirements.
You will be challenged every day and probably have a lot of fun.
