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 Technologies is seeking a Senior Software Architect to support the design and development of DO-178C–compliant avionics software. This role focuses on software architecture, requirements decomposition, and implementation guidance for safety-critical embedded systems.
You will work closely with systems engineers, verification engineers, and software developers to ensure that software architecture, design, and implementation meet certification, safety, and reliability requirements. This position emphasizes hands-on technical contribution, clear documentation, and disciplined development practices in a regulated environment.
What You’ll Do:
Software Architecture & Design:
Develop and maintain software architectures for avionics and safety-critical systems in compliance with DO-178C assumed DALs.
Decompose high-level and low-level requirements into clear, testable software designs.
Define software components, interfaces, data flows, and control logic suitable for embedded real-time systems.
Ensure architectural decisions support determinism, robustness, and fault containment.
DO-178C Compliance & Development:
Support DO-178C objectives across the software lifecycle, including planning, development, verification, and configuration management.
Produce and review certification artifacts such as software design descriptions, low-level requirements, and traceability data.
Collaborate with verification engineers to ensure requirements are verifiable and testable.
Participate in design reviews, code reviews, and certification audits.
Implementation Support:
Provide technical guidance to software developers implementing low-level requirements in C/C++ or similar embedded languages.
Assist with integration, debugging, and issue resolution on target hardware or simulation environments.
Ensure consistency between architecture, implementation, and verification results.
Cross-Functional Collaboration:
Work closely with systems engineering, safety, hardware, and test teams to align software design with system-level requirements.
Communicate technical decisions clearly through diagrams, documentation, and reviews.
What We’re Looking For:
Required Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.
5+ years of experience developing embedded or safety-critical software.
Practical experience working within a DO-178C (or DO-178B) development environment.
Strong understanding of software architecture principles for real-time, deterministic systems.
Experience writing and reviewing low-level requirements and software design documentation.
Proficiency in C/C++ or similar languages used in avionics systems.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with FAA or EASA certification programs.
Familiarity with ARINC 653, RTOS environments, or partitioned systems.
Exposure to model-based design, static analysis, or requirements management tools.
Experience supporting DAL B or DAL C software projects.
Why BETA Technologies
Contribute to the development of certifiable, flight-critical software for next-generation electric aircraft.
Work in a collaborative engineering environment with strong safety and quality culture.
See your software move from design to flight.
Competitive compensation, benefits, and opportunities for technical growth.
