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.

Support verification planning and execution for the Low Voltage (LV) Electrical System on BETA’s electric aircraft . The LV System converts energy from high-voltage (HV) packs into 28 VDC buses powering avionics, flight controls, and auxiliary devices. You will work closely with the Lead Verification Engineer for the system to develop and run ARP4754A requirements-based tests and produce certification-ready artifacts as BETA advances toward Type Certification.

How you will contribute to revolutionizing electric aviation:

  • Execute LV system/component verification per the defined test strategy

  • Plan, author, and run requirements-based test plans, procedures, and cases (system and component)

  • Build and maintain test racks/fixtures and HIL/SIL benches; manage instrumentation and calibration checks

  • Develop automated test scripts and data analysis in MATLAB/Simulink, LabVIEW, or Python

  • Maintain requirements traceability and coverage; support independence assessments to ARP4754A objectives

  • Support DO-160G verification/qualification and external lab activities

  • Participate in test witnessing, anomaly triage, troubleshooting, and root-cause analysis

  • Coordinate with Engineering, Systems, Flight Test, Maintenance, Manufacturing, Safety, suppliers, and labs

  • Prepare clear, auditable test documentation and contribute to certification deliverables Minimum Qualifications:

  • BS in Engineering or equivalent hands-on test experience (internships/co-ops welcome)

  • Knowledge of electrical fundamentals

  • Experience with automated testing and data acquisition/analysis (MATLAB, LabVIEW, Python) preferred, but not required

  • Ability to document test environments, procedures, and results with high attention to detail

  • Proficiency with common test equipment: oscilloscopes, signal generators, power supplies/eLoads, DAQ, thermocouples, etc.

  • Strong teamwork, communication, and problem-solving skills Above and Beyond Qualifications:

  • 1–4+ years in test engineering or aircraft certification/verification

  • Understanding of test environment management, calibration standards, and quality systems

  • Exposure to ARP4754A; familiarity with DO-178C or DO-254

  • Experience with DO-160G testing (EMI/EMC, power input/quality, lightning/pin injection)

  • HIL platforms (NI PXI/DAQ, or other industry standard equipment) and automated test frameworks

  • Familiarity with serial bus protocols: CAN/CAN-FD, ARINC 429, RS-422/485, RS-232

  • Familiarity with requirements management software (Polarion preferred)

  • Version control with Git or SVN

  • Familiarity with workflow management tools including or like JIRA

  • Familiarity with CATIA/3DX Physical Demands and Work Environment:

  • Onsite at BETA facilities in South Burlington (and occasionally St. Albans), Vermont; ability to travel locally between sites

  • Hands-on work around HV/LV electrical systems following strict safety and LOTO procedures

  • Occasional outdoor testing, night testing, or atypical schedules based on program needs

  • Dog-friendly, open-office environment The wage listed here reflects our best faith estimate for this role. We pay competitively and base compensation on a variety of factors including skills, experience, industry background, and the evolving needs of the role.
