Test Engineer - Battery

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, together 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.

The Test Engineer is responsible for hands-on safety testing and improvement of the high-voltage energy storage system in a first-of-its-kind, fully electric aircraft. As a Test Engineer at BETA Technologies, you will develop a deep understanding of our energy storage system design and use that knowledge on a daily basis to support our ongoing design efforts with tasks such as safety and electrical test design from cell to pack level. As an open-minded and outside-the-box thinker, you will perpetually strive to supplement your past industry experience with new knowledge gained every day through experimentation and analysis of results. You will work with a small team to constantly improve the safety and efficiency of our products, whether taking a supporting role in designing test campaigns or using CAD and access to a fully staffed machine shop to build new test fixtures and support equipment. You will be an integral part of the safety of the aircraft and lay the groundwork for electric aviation firsthand. You will be challenged every day and probably have a lot of fun.
