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.
Part Time Certified Flight Instructor, Fixed Wing
CFIs at BETA are an integral part of our company culture; they share the love of aviation with our whole team! Our flight instructors fly with their teammates in a variety of rotary-wing and fixed-wing aircraft, including floatplanes, taildraggers, and twins, to inspire them and familiarize them with the industry we are electrifying. We seek thoughtful, enthusiastic, passionate, and aviation-obsessed instructors to share their passion through teaching others how to fly. We fly year-round, and help our teammates work towards their aviation goals, whether that is to get a private pilot license, or simply to enjoy the view from the cockpit with an experienced pilot. CFIs work at our Burlington, VT headquarters.
