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.
Structural Assembly is where the major components of the aircraft get built. This means drilling, fastening, and bonding parts together to build the wing, fuselage, empennage, and booms, then joining them together to produce the airframe.
As a Manufacturing Engineer working within the Structural Assembly team, you will be supporting airframe assembly on the weekend shift and driving process and design improvements to decrease cycle time, labor hours, and non-conformances.
