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.

BETA is seeking an entry-level Embedded Software Engineer who is eager to develop expertise in embedded systems through hands-on investigation, testing, and validation work. In this role, you will support our engineering team by investigating field failures, performing root-cause analysis, validating firmware releases, and ensuring system-level quality of our ground-based charging systems.

How you will contribute to revolutionizing electric aviation:

  • Investigate and document field failures in embedded firmware, performing root cause analysis and reproducing issues in lab environments
  • Manage ticketing systems to track firmware defects, feature requests, and validation test results
  • Support the development team by providing detailed failure analysis, test data, and reproduction steps for firmware bugs
  • Develop and execute integration test plans to validate new firmware releases across hardware platforms
  • Perform system-level software testing including communication protocols (CAN, Modbus, EtherNet/IP), peripheral interfaces, and end-to-end charging scenarios
  • Set up and maintain test fixtures, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test benches, and automated test infrastructure
  • Collaborate with field service teams to reproduce customer-reported issues and verify fixes
  • Create and maintain test documentation, validation reports, and firmware release notes
  • Assist in debugging software and hardware integration issues using lab equipment and diagnostic tools
  • Contribute to embedded software development tasks including bug fixes, test code, and validation scripts

    • Minimum Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience)
  • 0-2 years of experience with embedded systems, firmware, or hardware-software integration (internships and academic projects count)
  • Programming skills in C/C++
  • Experience with version control systems (git) and issue tracking tools (Jira, GitLab)
  • Experience using scripting languages (Python, Bash) for test automation
  • Experience with embedded development environments (linux command line tools; VS Code with embedded extensions)
  • Familiarity with microcontrollers, embedded systems concepts, and communication protocols (e.g., UART, SPI, I2C, CAN)
  • Understanding of software debugging techniques and lab equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG debuggers)
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with meticulous attention to detail
  • Ability to work independently on investigations while collaborating effectively with cross-functional teams
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills for documenting findings and technical reports
  • Self-motivated with a desire to learn embedded systems through hands-on troubleshooting and testing

    • Above and Beyond Qualifications:

  • Understanding of industrial communication protocols (Modbus, CAN, EtherNet/IP, OCPP)
  • Experience with lab equipment: oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, multimeters, CAN analyzers
  • Exposure to real-time operating systems (RTOS) or Linux-based embedded systems
  • Background in power electronics, EV charging systems, or automotive embedded systems
  • Experience with continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) for embedded systems
