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.

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.
Our technologies extend beyond the aircraft itself—we are also building the nationwide charging and energy infrastructure required to support electric flight, including modular charging stations, integrated power management systems, and software platforms that ensure seamless operation across vehicles and networks.
BETA’s engineering efforts span aerospace design, electric propulsion, power electronics, battery safety and management, autonomous flight systems, and ground support equipment (GSE), all unified by a commitment to safety, reliability, and clean energy innovation. Our mission is simple: create practical, certifiable, and sustainable aviation solutions that move people and cargo efficiently while dramatically reducing environmental impact.
We are seeking an experienced and highly motivated Patent Agent to join our Legal team. This position plays a key role in building, managing, and safeguarding the company’s growing global IP portfolio across various technologies.
The Patent Agent will work closely with engineering, program management, and leadership teams to identify and protect high-value innovations spanning aircraft architecture, propulsion systems, battery technology, control software, and charging infrastructure. This includes guiding the entire patent lifecycle—from invention disclosure and prior art analysis to drafting, prosecution, and coordination of international filings.
The role will involve hands-on patent drafting and prosecution. The Agent will prepare patent applications that accurately capture complex engineering concepts and align with BETA’s strategic objectives. Prosecution will managing office action responses, and maintaining consistent engagement with USPTO examiners. The successful candidate will demonstrate precision, clarity, and creativity in translating sophisticated technical ideas into robust patent protection that supports BETA’s long-term innovation goals.
In addition to core patent prosecution, this role carries a strategic dimension—helping shape the direction of BETA’s intellectual property portfolio to align with business objectives and competitive positioning. The Agent will provide insight into technology roadmaps, product development initiatives, and regulatory environments to ensure that IP protection supports long-term corporate goals.
This position also serves as a cross-functional bridge between technical and business functions: collaborating with engineers to translate innovations into strong IP assets; with product and certification teams to secure freedom to operate; and with finance, legal, and executive leadership to inform R&D investments, licensing strategies, and partnership decisions.
The successful candidate will have the opportunity to influence IP strategy at the intersection of advanced engineering and business execution, playing an integral role in BETA’s mission to build a sustainable and certifiable electric aviation ecosystem.
