About The Position

BETA Technologies is hiring a Lead Telemetry System Engineer to own the design, integration, release, and lifecycle of its aircraft telemetry and flight-test data-collection systems. The role leads the architecture and aircraft-installed hardware connecting instrumentation and data acquisition with communications links, onboard computing, ground stations, data displays, and post-flight analysis tools. The engineer will develop an existing set of in-house hardware, system diagrams, configurations, and test infrastructure into a scalable, documented, validated, and officially released system. This hands-on technical leadership role spans aircraft hardware design, systems engineering, flight test, software, networking, and compliance, supporting both early-concept R&D and certification flight-test design and documentation. The position is on-site in South Burlington, Vermont. The candidate must be a U.S. citizen and will occasionally work around aircraft and the production line to support integration, troubleshooting, testing, and design validation. Compensation is listed as $130,000–$175,000 USD.
