Integration Engineer, Propulsion at BETA Technologies · Katori

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.

How you will contribute to revolutionizing electric aviation:

Review, challenge, analyze top level aircraft level of requirements for initial motor and inverter sizing, cooling and structural architecture: Analysis will include data review, 1D simulations, handcalcs and rule of thumb sizing, preliminary CFD and FEA
Define lower level requirements for detailed design including software
Establish and manage mechanical, electrical and functional interfaces with other systems including external customer as relevant
Manage changes affecting interfacing products
Collaborate with the systems and certification team to ensure certifiability of products.
Develop test plans for verification at propulsion system level

Minimum Qualifications:

5+ years relevant experience in electromechanical components and assembly design, analysis and test
