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.
How you will contribute to revolutionizing electric aviation:
As an Airframe Assembly Technician at Beta Technologies, you will be working as part of a team of engineers and technicians fabricating, modifying, assembling, installing, and repairing composite parts and tooling for the production of electric aircraft and equipment, along with managing necessary materials and supplies, and maintaining the composite shop facilities.
What You’ll Be Doing:

- Turning blueprints and specs into physical, tangible awesomeness.
- Collaborating with a team that geeks out over details as much as you do.
- Troubleshooting challenges with the kind of creativity only a true builder has.
What We’re Looking For:
- You’re sharp—you pick up on details others miss.
- You’re hands-on—whether it’s building furniture, tinkering with machines, or fixing a leaky faucet, you’re always creating.

- You’re proud of your work and want it to make an impact.
What You’ll Need to Bring:
- A knack for working with tools and materials—you bring your toolbox everywhere.
- An ability to read and understand blueprints and diagrams.
- Steady hands, sharp eyes, and a commitment to doing it right.
- Bonus points if you’ve got experience in manufacturing, aviation, or something similar—but if you’re a quick learner with a passion for building, we’ll teach you the rest.
Why You’ll Love It Here:
- Be part of a team that values precision and celebrates craftsmanship.
- Work on projects that actually matter—your work will take to the skies!
- Enjoy competitive pay, killer benefits, and opportunities to grow.
- Surround yourself with people who share your passion for building great things.
