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.
The Manufacturing Automation Engineer is responsible for driving the development of innovative automated tooling, equipment, and processes for the manufacture of our eVTOL and eCTOL products.
You will be expected to leverage your past industry experience and supplement with new knowledge gained through research and experimentation as you specify, design, build, and validate automated manufacturing systems.
You will have CAD modeling tools at your disposal to help you ensure that your designs are meeting or exceeding all design, safety, and regulatory requirements.
You will be challenged every day and probably have a lot of fun.
