Engineering Prototype Technician | Motors R&D

Engineering technicians are critical to the BETA mission, ensuring Electronic Motors (EPU) are designed, built, and tested appropriately to support R&D, flight testing, and other validation needs. As the design develops, engineering technicians will be responsible for rapidly understanding and adjusting to new developments while maintaining quick assembly turnaround.

How you will contribute to revolutionizing electric aviation:

• Hands-on assembly or repair of electric motors including redlining engineering drawings and creating build records

• Support electric motor testing by taking component measurements, assembling test equipment, installing/removing motors from test equipment, and supporting flight test

• Perform testing, validation, troubleshooting, and manufacturing processes in concert with design engineers

• Assist in editing and implementing technical documentation

• Performing in-process quality inspection tasks, feeling comfortable identifying and raising concern about process deviations and being an integral part of any troubleshooting efforts to solve them

• Maintaining logs and check sheets throughout the build process, which requires proficiency in word processing and spreadsheet software

• Develop your expertise concerning electro-mechanical assembly of fully electric propulsion systems

• Respect and foster a culture of safety, including working safely around high voltage

Minimum Qualifications:

• Ability to Interpret drawings, specifications, and schematics of mechanical and electrical components

• Competent with hand and power tools

• Strong critical thinking skills and attention to detail

• Ability to pivot and rapidly develop solutions to changing goals

• Experience working in a collaborative team environment

• Strong communication skills

• Passion for sustainability

• Fabrication, welding and/or machining experience

Above and Beyond Qualifications:

• Previous experience building electric motors

• Previous Computer-Aided Design (CAD) experience – Specifically 3DX/Catia

• Technical knowledge of electrical systems ranging from 24 VDC to 800 VDC

• Two-year degree or certificate from an accredited two (2) year college, university, or technical school
