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 Team leader leads the production team in all day-to-day operations. In this role you will conduct daily stand-up meetings and represent the team as needed in cross-functional stand-ups. You will be the first to respond to problems and challenges on the production line, and will help the team solve those problems using your own knowledge and input from engineers and test technicians.
The Team Leader is responsible for quality, safety, on time delivery, continuous improvement, hiring, performance management, and programs such as FOD (foreign object debris) management and 6S. As the team lead you will meet with every team member on a regular basis to discuss their development, performance, personal and team challenges, to coach team members on career development, and to solicit feedback on your performance and the work environment generally.
