Manufacturing Engineer

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 Engineer - FAL translates engineering design intent into clear, executable work instructions that enable the production team to build safely and efficiently. This role bridges the gap between engineering drawings and the shop floor — interpreting 3D models and 2D drawings, authoring SOPs and process documentation, and serving as a technical resource for production technicians during aircraft assembly. The position is a mix of desk-based documentation work and hands-on floor support, reporting to the Lead Manufacturing Engineer for the Final Assembly Line and partnering closely with the Quality team.

How you will contribute to revolutionizing electric aviation:

• Interpret engineering drawings and 3D models to develop detailed, shop-floor-ready work instructions for final assembly operations
• Author and maintain SOPs, process documents, and other controlled documentation to support repeatable, high-quality builds
• Serve as the primary technical point of contact for production technicians during assembly, resolving questions and clarifying design intent in real time
• Collaborate with the Quality team to disposition non-conformances and implement corrective actions in manufacturing processes
• Identify opportunities to improve work instruction clarity, process efficiency, and build sequence based on production feedback
• Support the development and refinement of manufacturing processes within 3DX/CATIA and Plex (ERP) systems
• Participate in drawing reviews and engineering change processes to assess manufacturability and flag potential assembly issues early

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a related field
• 2+ years of experience in a manufacturing engineering role, preferably in aerospace or aviation
• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, GD&T, and 3D models
• Experience authoring work instructions, SOPs, or other controlled production documentation
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to convey technical information clearly to floor personnel
• Comfortable working in both a production floor environment and an office/desk setting
• Familiarity with engineering change management and configuration control processes
