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.

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.

BETA is seeking a Technical Product Manager to join our team in South Burlington, Vermont. This position will lead the strategic development and production of ground support equipment for electric aircraft charging systems. Primary responsibilities include managing external supplier relationships, overseeing PCBA and electronics design projects with contract manufacturers, mitigating technical risks, and driving products from concept through volume manufacturing. This role requires both technical depth to understand electrical systems and program management expertise to coordinate budgets, timelines, quality, and multi-stakeholder projects.
