Remote · USA Full-time New today

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 Integration Engineer will contribute to the development of the electric propulsion units (EPUs) from a blank page to a certified product and will be responsible to consume & negotiate high level EPU requirements to ensure we design and build the right product for the application. The integration engineer will be responsible to drive the sizing of motors and inverters and conceptual architecture to suit the application. This entails performing rapid iterations and trades towards the optimal concept. The integration engineer will support the mechanical and electrical engineers during the development phase to ensure that the propulsion system will satisfy the requirements of the installation. The integration engineer will also work closely with the design and test teams to develop test plans to verify the product’s performance during the development and certification phases.

The ideal candidate is an expert communicator with broad technical background and strong intuition to help optimize and guide electric motor architecture and concepts, propeller sizing and pitch optimization, aircraft engine integration, namely nacelle structural design, optimization of cooling airpath and mechanical and electrical interfaces with flight controls or hybrid system integration.
