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.

At Beta Technologies, together 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.

We’re seeking talented technical writers with aerospace industry experience to produce maintenance, flight
and other manuals. An ideal candidate will have great communications skills and a collaborative attitude. This
role involves working closely with other team members: the technical writing team leads, other technical
writers, and subject matter experts, including engineers in various disciplines. We’re looking for someone
who prizes accuracy and thoroughness and would enjoy working in a dynamic environment.

This is a contract position, with initial 30-, 60- and 90-day reviews with fellow BETA team members. These
initial reviews will be followed by quarterly reviews throughout the length of the contract.

Video Interview:

Please be aware that you may be invited to complete a Video Screening interview. This invite will be sent by email ([email protected]). We highly recommend completing this step of the application process within the following 48 hours should you be invited.
