Job Summary
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 Betas 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 flightworthy 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 DO160 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 applicants experience. A key part of the job is creating test hardware/software and calibration strategies that scale into long-term postType 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 DO160 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:
- Bachelors 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 DO160 and exposure to DO254/DO178C 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 420 mA/010 V RTD/thermocouple pressure current/voltage sensing
- Communication protocols: CAN/CANFD ARINC 429 RS422/485 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); IPC2221/7351 JSTD001 IPCA600/610 IEC60664
- 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 Betas 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
$115000 - $145000 a year
