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.

We are seeking a Manufacturing Engineer to help enable our composites team in scaling production, improving efficiency, and reducing costs for our composites manufacturing center. Composite Manufacturing Engineers at BETA are responsible for designing layup tools, fixturing, trim-jigs and work instructions for experimental and certified composite parts. Engineers take ownership of their designs and work with the team to bring first articles to production. This role will drive continuous improvements not just from the manufacturing line, but from integrating ideas for Design For Manufacturability (DFM) to the product design team and providing manufacturability inputs as a key stakeholder in design reviews. The ideal candidate will drive improvements in quality, cycle time, capacity and manufacturing costs of current production while enabling for the future with increased production rates.
