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.
The Test Engineering Technician is responsible for helping us achieve streamlined, high throughput test capability at our state-of-the-art test facility in St. Albans, VT. As a Test Engineering Technician on the Battery team at Beta Technologies, you will use your hands-on technical aptitude to set up, execute, clean up, and document a variety of aerospace environmental tests on anything from flight control computers to high-voltage battery packs. Test categories span a variety of areas, such as shock and vibration, thermal, humidity, altitude, or electromagnetic interference. Test Engineering Technician duties include not just the setup and testing of aircraft assemblies or components, but also the routine maintenance and troubleshooting of test equipment. An ideal candidate has great attention to detail when following a defined test plan, but also a good dose of creativity when working with the team on how to execute new and interesting development tests and the drive and motivation to see things through to completion no matter the challenge.
