BETA Technologies
Lead Verification Engineer - Low Voltage System | Controls Electronics
BETA Technologies, South Burlington, Vermont, us, 05403
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 Lead Verification Engineer owns verification strategy, planning, and execution for the Low Voltage (LV) Electrical System on BETA’s electric aircraft. The LV System converts energy from high-voltage (HV) packs into 28 VDC buses powering avionics, flight controls, and auxiliary devices. The role includes hands‑on test development across novel technologies and legacy aerospace devices. You will work with Systems and Design Engineering to create ARP4754A requirements‑based test plans, procedures, and cases, and guide engineers and suppliers through certification‑oriented verification as BETA advances toward Type Certification.
How you will contribute to revolutionizing electric aviation:
Own LV system verification from strategy through results disposition
Plan, author, and execute requirements‑based test plans, procedures, and cases (system and component)
Build and maintain test racks/fixtures and HIL/SIL benches; ensure proper instrumentation and calibration
Develop automated test tools and scripts in MATLAB/Simulink, LabVIEW, or Python
Perform traceability, coverage, and independence assessments to ARP4754A objectives
Plan and execute DO-160G verification/qualification
Lead test witnessing, anomaly triage, troubleshooting, and root‑cause analysis across HW/SW
Coordinate with Engineering, Systems, Flight Test, Maintenance, Manufacturing, Safety, suppliers, and labs
Prepare auditable documentation and certification deliverables; present results to internal and regulatory stakeholders
Improve BETA’s verification processes, templates, and standards
Minimum Qualifications:
BS in Engineering or equivalent experience in test engineering or aircraft certification/verification
Understanding of electrical fundamentals
Experience designing and executing automated tests and data acquisition/analysis (MATLAB, LabVIEW, Python, etc.) from scratch
Experience documenting test environments, procedures, and results with high attention to detail
Proficiency with common test equipment: oscilloscopes, signal generators, power supplies/eLoads, DAQ, thermocouples, etc.
Demonstrated leadership skills
Experience with ARP4754A‑based verification, DO-178C or DO-254
Experience with DO-160G environmental testing
Above and Beyond Qualifications:
Prior work on aircraft/aircraft product certification programs
Previous verification leadership, external lab management, and formal acceptance testing leadership
Understanding of test environment management, calibration standards, and quality systems
Familiarity with common serial bus protocols: CAN/CAN‑FD, ARINC 429, RS‑422/485, RS‑232
Familiarity with requirements management software (Polarion preferred)
Familiarity with continuous integration tools like Git or SVN
Familiarity with workflow management tools including or like JIRA
Familiarity with Catia/3DX
Physical Demands and Work Environment:
Onsite at BETA facilities in South Burlington (and occasionally St. Albans), Vermont; ability to travel locally between sites
Hands‑on work around HV/LV electrical systems following strict safety and LOTO procedures
Occasional outdoor testing, night testing, or atypical schedules based on program needs
Dog‑friendly, open‑office environment
$115,000 - $155,000 a year
