Requirements

0–3+ years in wiring harness or closely related electrical/mechanical design (strong, detail-oriented candidates will be trained)
Working knowledge of electrical fundamentals and wiring basics; ability to read/create 2D wiring diagrams
Familiarity with harness manufacturability and common build practices; willingness to collaborate on the shop floor
Ability to perform basic sizing and verification (ampacity, voltage drop, temperature/altitude derating) with guidance
Comfort working with structured data and version control (spreadsheets/databases and Git)
Clear, consistent documentation habits and strong attention to detail
Exposure to Engineering Base or similar tools (E3 series, Capital, SolidWorks Electrical) and to PLM systems preferred, but not required
Above and Beyond Qualifications
Hands-on harness design for aerospace, automotive, rail, or industrial equipment
Experience with Engineering Base and 3DX/CATIA; familiarity with releasing parts/drawings in PLM
Knowledge of aerospace harness components and standards (can be learned): AS22759/AS81044 wire, MIL‑DTL‑38999 and micro‑D connectors, AS39029 contacts, backshells/strain relief, heat‑shrink, braid, clamps/lacing; awareness of SAE AS50881/EWIS and IPC/WHMA‑A‑620
Experience generating or executing harness test requirements and using harness testers (e.g., Cirris, DIT‑MCO)
Python scripting and SQL/SQLite for automation; familiarity with internal web tools and databases

Responsibilities

Gather and interpret interface and configuration requirements from system teams and flight/production stakeholders
Create complete 2D wiring schematics in Engineering Base, including wire IDs, pin/terminal assignments, shielding/grounding, and splice logic
Select components (wire/cable, connectors/contacts, backshells, protection, labels/markers) that meet environmental, electrical, and maintainability needs
Perform wire sizing, bundle calculations, voltage drop, and derating calculations per BETA standards and applicable EWIS guidance (e.g. SAE AS50881)
Collaborate with 3D Design Engineers in 3DX/CATIA to support routing, packaging, strain relief, bend radius, clamp spacing, and chafe protection
Produce manufacturing-ready Technical Data Packages: schematics, run lists/netlists, termination tables, BOMs with alternates, assembly drawings, labels, and test requirements
Drive designs through release in 3DX/PLM, maintain configuration control, and support changes
Partner with the Harness Build Team and Production to incorporate DFM/DFS feedback, reduce cost/weight, improve build time, and enhance serviceability
Support harness build, bench test (e.g., continuity/hipot), and on‑aircraft installation; resolve issues and update designs promptly
Use and extend internal automation (Python, SQL/SQLite, Git) for wire sizing, design rule checks, data validation, and automated generation of manufacturing packages; contribute to internal web tools and databases

Risks

Increased competition from companies like ORB Aerospace could impact Beta's market share.

Dependence on state funding poses risks if government priorities shift away from electric aviation.

Rapid technological advancements could render Beta's offerings obsolete without continuous innovation.

Differentiation

Beta Technologies focuses on clean aviation with electric aircraft and propulsion systems.

The company offers a comprehensive eVTOL ecosystem, including aircraft and charging infrastructure.

Beta Technologies targets commercial airlines and logistics companies for sustainable air transport solutions.

Upsides

Beta Technologies raised $318 million in Series C funding in October 2024.

The FAA's updated eVTOL certification processes benefit Beta Technologies' aircraft approval.

Increased interest in urban air mobility drives demand for Beta's eVTOL aircraft.
