BETA Technologies is seeking an Aircraft Systems Engineer to lead the definition, execution, and documentation of verification activities for our aircraft-level systems requirements. This role sits at the intersection of systems engineering, flight test, and verification, focused on ensuring aircraft-level requirements are properly tested, traceable, and ready for certification submittals. The ideal candidate has a BS in a relevant engineering discipline and is an experienced systems engineer who understands the critical importance of clear and unambiguous requirement sets. 5+ years of experience on Part 23, 25 or 27 aircraft or rotorcraft programs and demonstrated experience with Application Lifecycle Management software tools is preferred. The individual should have an in-depth understanding of SAE ARP 4754A and ARP 4761. The candidate should be comfortable working with a team of certification engineers, DERs, systems engineers, flight test pilots and other design engineers and be able to provide critical design feedback as it relates to safety and requirements verification. The candidate should expect to contribute as a team member to establish, manage and ensure compliance to customer, regulatory, aircraft-level requirements. How you will contribute to revolutionizing electric aviation: • Author, maintain, and own the verification plan for aircraft-level system requirements, ensuring traceability and coverage assessments meet ARP4754A/4761 objectives • Work hands-on with the Certification Flight Test Team to review Certification Flight Test Plans for compliance and coverage, suggesting modifications and new procedures to address verification gaps • Coordinate with Systems Teams to review lower-level verification coverage of aircraft requirements and ensure aircraft requirements have been fully verified. • Support the establishment and verification of the minimum aircraft requirement set for TIA Safety of Flight Test activities • Develop detailed test procedures to verify aircraft-level requirements through testing • Develop verification approaches for requirements to be verified by other means (e.g., Analysis, Design Review, Coverage Analysis, Inspection, Simulation) • Identify test environment needs and work with the Test Engineering to establish requirements and verify implementation meets the needs for comprehensive aircraft verification • Perform traceability analysis and coverage assessments to meet regulatory objectives • Plan and manage the aircraft-level verification test schedule, coordinating dependencies across flight test, ground test, and lab environments to ensure timely completion of certification evidence • Lead or support Test Readiness Reviews (TRRs) to confirm test articles, instrumentation, procedures, safety considerations, and success criteria are in place prior to test execution • Track verification activity status and manage closure of test points, escalating schedule risks and verification gaps to program leadership • Author or oversee the generation of aircraft-level verification reports, ensuring results are clearly documented against pass/fail criteria and traceable to the requirements being verified • Coordinate with internal engineering teams, DERs, and FAA Minimum Qualifications: • Bachelor's degree in a relevant engineering discipline (Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Software Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field) • In-depth knowledge of SAE ARP 4754A and ARP 4761 • Experience with requirements-based testing, regression testing, and traceability audits Proficiency with Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) software tools such as Polarion • Comfortable working with verification tooling such as Polarion, JIRA, and Confluence • Physical onsite presence required Above and Beyond Qualifications: • Flight Test experience and familiarity with aircraft certification flight test • Background in aerospace verification & validation with prior work in a certifying environment The wage listed here reflects our best faith estimate for this role.
