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.
We are seeking a versatile and capable software engineer to join our team with a focus on supporting R&D flight test efforts including system configuration, network communications, and data collection. The ideal candidate is an experienced Python developer who enjoys working on diverse projects and is comfortable operating in a fast-paced environment. They must be self-directed and comfortable supporting the needs of cross-disciplinary teams. The person in this position will work in a small team environment and support the development and testing of eVTOL aircraft.
