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 propulsion test engineer is responsible for conducting tests for aircraft electric motors and inverters, and their components. This includes setting up and configuring test stands, interpreting and implementing wiring schematics, and ensuring all electrical systems are properly connected for accurate data collection and safe operation. The test engineer will work closely with R&D engineers to create design validation test plans, and will lead the execution of these plans. Engineers with a background or interest in aviation may also have the chance to participate in propulsion-focused flight tests. This is an exciting opportunity to help us revolutionize flight and we promise a fast-paced environment with a lot of fun times.
