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, 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.

Join Beta's Business Processes team as a Manufacturing Automation Engineer where you'll develop cutting-edge automation and integration solutions that directly accelerate our path to sustainable aviation. Working primarily in Python, you'll transform how we manufacture aircraft and components by building tools that make our operations smarter, faster, and more efficient. You'll embed with different operational teams for focused sprints while simultaneously handling quick-turn requests from across the company. This role demands someone who thrives in a dynamic environment, balancing multiple priorities while maintaining meticulous attention to detail, translating complex manufacturing challenges into elegant software solutions that help us move mass and build the future of flight.
