BETA Technologies is creating an electric transportation ecosystem that’s safe, reliable and sustainable. Backed by Vermont Center for Emerging Technologies (VCET).
About the role
The Aerodynamics Engineer will support the aerodynamic design, analysis, testing, and validation of BETA’s fixed-wing and vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft. You will develop aerodynamic models and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods; plan and execute wind-tunnel and flight-test activities; and use computational and experimental data to inform aircraft configuration, performance, stability and control, loads, and certification decisions. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Bachelor of Science degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field
- At least 3–5 years of experience in aircraft aerodynamic analysis, aerodynamic design, CFD, wind-tunnel testing, flight test, or related disciplines
- Experience with CFD analysis and aerodynamic simulation methods of varying fidelity
- Experience developing or using aerodynamic models to support aircraft performance, stability and control, loads, or flight-dynamics analysis
- Experience planning, executing, or analyzing wind-tunnel and/or flight-test activities
- Experience with MATLAB, Python, and data-analysis tools
