About the company:

BETA Technologies is creating an electric transportation ecosystem that’s safe, reliable and sustainable. A relentlessly focused team is building an extensive charging infrastructure and ALIA, the world’s most technologically advanced electric vertical aircraft (EVA).

BETA’s platform and products are strikingly simple. Prioritization of safety and a pragmatic approach to certification drive elegant redundancy, appropriate diversity of implementation and simplicity of control. ALIA’s fixed-pitch propellers and centrally located batteries make it an inherently stable aircraft that is safe to fly and easy to maneuver.

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.

We’re seeking talented technical illustrators with aerospace industry experience to produce technical illustrations for use in maintenance, flight, and other manuals. An ideal candidate will have great communication skills and a collaborative attitude. This role involves working closely with other team members, ranging from technical writers to various subject matter experts, including airframe & powerplant mechanics, pilots, engineers in various disciplines, and commercial and government operations personnel. We are looking for a creative, dedicated person who is passionate about technical illustration.

This contract position has initial 30-, 60- and 90-day reviews with fellow BETA team members. These initial reviews will be followed by quarterly reviews throughout the contract, with the potential to join BETA as a full-time team member.
