Graphic Design Jobs 2026 (Now Hiring) – Smart Auto Apply

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 Senior Structures Design Engineer will develop the primary and secondary airframe structure for an advanced narrowbody aircraft from concept through preliminary design. The role joins structural architecture with practical product definition across the wing, pylon and engine interfaces, fuselage, empennage, control surfaces, and high-lift installations. This position will be based onsite at our South Burlington, VT office location, our Raleigh, NC office. Remote candidates may be considered for a hybrid role, with monthly visits to South Burlington, VT for in person work. 

How you will contribute to revolutionizing electric aviation:

• Develop structural concepts, load paths, layouts, and configuration trades for metallic, composite, and hybrid airframe structure
• Create and manage three-dimensional CAD definition for primary and secondary structure, joints, attachments, interfaces, and installations
• Translate aircraft-level requirements, loads, aerodynamic geometry, systems interfaces, and manufacturing constraints into structural design requirements
• Work in parallel design lanes spanning wing primary structure; pylon and high-lift integration; and fuselage, empennage, and aircraft-level definition
• Perform preliminary sizing and hand calculations to guide geometry before detailed stress substantiation
• Design for manufacturability, assembly, inspection, maintainability, repair, weight, cost, and schedule
• Develop interface-control definition, drawings, trade studies, design-review material, and configuration-controlled product data
• Coordinate closely with Stress, Loads, Aerodynamics, Structural Dynamics, Materials and Processes, Systems, Manufacturing, and team counterparts

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field
• 5+ years of aircraft structural design or closely related aerospace product-development experience
• Demonstrated proficiency developing complex aerospace hardware in CATIA, 3DEXPERIENCE, or a comparable CAD environment
• Working knowledge of aircraft load paths, structural sizing, joints, fasteners, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing, and configuration control
• Experience taking structural concepts through layout, detailed definition, build, and test support
• Ability to make sound design decisions with incomplete information and communicate assumptions, risks, and interfaces clearly
• Must be a US Person to be considered for the role

Above and Beyond Qualifications:

• Narrowbody, transport-category, wing, pylon, nacelle, fuselage, empennage, control-surface, or high-lift structural design experience
• Experience with both composite and metallic airframe structures and supplier design packages
• Experience supporting preliminary design reviews, certification planning, structural test, or manufacturing introduction

Physical Demands and Work Environment:

This role requires extended computer and CAD work and regular work in office, laboratory, manufacturing, and hangar environments. Occasional travel and use of standard person protective equipment may be required.
