Job Description:

Job Description Job Description 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. Join Beta’s Aircraft Monitoring System (AMS) team to design, build, and verify the instrumentation and electronics that monitor the health and performance of our electric aircraft. This role blends PCB/hardware design with system-level verification and certification support in a combined design and verification role. You will take compact, flight?worthy circuits from concept through layout, bring-up, and qualification. This role will develop automated tests, HIL benches, and certification-ready documentation aligned to ARP4754A development process and DO?160 environmental qualifications. In addition to hardware design and verification, candidates may write embedded software on AMS boards and build internal tools in Python, LabVIEW or Matlab, depending on an applicant's experience. A key part of the job is creating test hardware/software and calibration strategies that scale into long-term, post–Type Certification support for commercial products. How you will contribute to revolutionizing electric aviation: Design rugged, miniaturized production and flight test instrumentation Conduct schematic capture and PCB layout (Altium/KiCad) Plan and execute requirements-based verification: write test plans, procedures and cases; build HIL benches/fixtures and automate tests in Python/LabVIEW/MATLAB Support DO?160 environmental/EMC testing and ARP4754A requirements/traceability with clear, auditable documentation Develop long-term calibration infrastructure (fixtures, procedures, asset tracking, firmware hooks for stored constants) Implement BIT and production/EOL test strategies; ensure instrumentation is non-interfering with certified aircraft systems Optional: Develop embedded C firmware (sensor drivers, timing/sync, comms) and internal tools for visualization, automation, and calibration Collaborate closely with Flight Test, Systems, Software, Manufacturing, and Certification teams Minimum Qualifications: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Software Engineering, Embedded Systems, or equivalent experience. Strong fundamentals in precision analog signal conditioning, ADC/DAC chains, isolation, SMPS basics, grounding/shielding, and EMC-aware layout. Hands-on PCB development: schematic capture and layout (Altium or KiCad), bring-up, debugging, and rework. Experience designing/executing automated tests and data analysis (Python, MATLAB, or LabVIEW). Experience troubleshooting electronics and test setups Proficiency with lab equipment (oscilloscopes, power supplies/eLoads, DAQ, DMMs, function generators); safe HV/LV lab practices. Ability to write clear test procedures/reports and manage configuration-controlled artifacts. Above and Beyond Qualifications: 3 years in electronics design and/or verification for regulated, safety-critical, or high-reliability products (aerospace, automotive, medical, industrial) In-depth embedded systems/embedded software experience in C or C++ In-depth Python experience Experience with ARP4754A development; familiarity with DO?160, and exposure to DO?254/DO?178C processes HIL platforms and automated test frameworks (NI PXI/DAQ, or other industry standard equipment) and experience building custom testers Calibration background: fixtures, uncertainty analysis, NIST-traceability, and asset management In-depth knowledge of sensor interfaces: strain/bridge, IEPE/ICP accelerometers, 4–20 mA/0–10 V, RTD/thermocouple, pressure, current/voltage sensing Communication protocols: CAN/CAN?FD, ARINC 429, RS?422/485, SPI, I2C, UART; time sync/telemetry (GPS PPS, PTP/1588, Ethernet) a plus Power electronics exposure (isolated supplies, input protection, surge/lightning, insulation coordination) Tools and standards: Polarion (requirements), Git/SVN (configuration management); IPC?2221/7351, J?STD?001, IPC?A?600/610, IEC?60664 Embedded firmware (bare metal or RTOS) for sensor DAQ and communications CATIA/3DX experience for mechanical integration and design releasesis a plus Physical Demands and Work Environment: Onsite at Beta’s facilities in South Burlington (and occasionally St. Albans), Vermont; local travel between sites Occasional travel in Beta-owned small aircraft or by car to Plattsburgh International Airport to support flight test vehicles Hands-on work around HV/LV electrical systems Occasional outdoor or night testing; schedules may flex with program needs Frequent bench work for PCB bring-up, troubleshooting, and test execution 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. We remain committed to fair and equitable pay and we're happy to discuss during the interview process. Build electric airplanes with us! BETA offers a competitive Total Compensation package designed to support you now and as you grow with us. This role includes both Restricted Stock Units and Performance Stock Units for all full-time team members, so everyone shares in our success. You’ll have access to onsite healthcare in Vermont, comprehensive medical coverage, dental and vision, short- and long-term disability, and paid parental leave.
