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're seeking a Scrappy AI-First Engineer to build and scale AI-powered tools that accelerate electric aviation development. You'll work directly with engineering teams to identify opportunities, rapidly prototype solutions using LLMs and modern AI frameworks, and deploy production systems that make our engineers more effective. This role combines full-stack development with cutting-edge AI implementation in a fast-paced, high-impact environment.
