Give you the opportunity to contribute to real-world projects that shape the future of BETA and electric aviation.
Immerse you in diverse teams, giving you the chance to learn, collaborate, and see how every role drives BETA’s mission forward.
Build lasting relationships with interns and BETA teammates that contribute to your career goals.

Problem-Solving and Critical Thinking

Every challenge we face is an opportunity to think differently. Working in a new industry, these skills are applied often. We look for students and teammates who explore new perspectives and tackle problems with curiosity and creativity. That mindset drives innovation at BETA.

Strong Work Ethic

We are built by people who show up ready to work hard and care the most. A strong work ethic means taking ownership, following through, and not letting your team down—qualities that make a lasting impact on the mission and on the future of aviation.

Technical, Hands-On Skills

At BETA, we value people who learn by doing. Interns and teammates alike get opportunities to apply their technical knowledge in real, hands-on projects that contribute directly to electric aviation—turning ideas into working solutions.

Adaptability and Flexibility

The work we do changes quickly as we design, test, and refine our systems. Students who are adaptable and flexible thrive here, finding energy in the unknown, staying open to new approaches, and embracing feedback.

Focus Areas

Across every team at BETA, interns have the chance to do meaningful work that drives the future of electric aviation, giving every member of the team the opportunity to make an impact.

To help streamline the application process, we ask that you apply to the Team that best aligns with your skills and experience.

Current opportunities:

“Perfection is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.” These words drew me to BETA Technologies and guided me throughout my internship on the Flight Sciences team. I had the opportunity to work on deliverables impacting aircraft safety, performance, and data quality, all while collaborating with brilliant, passionate individuals across teams. The culture here is unmatched: welcoming, supportive, and inspiring. I was encouraged to ask questions, contribute ideas, and challenge myself every day. Seeing my work support real progress in electric aviation was deeply fulfilling, and this experience shaped not just my technical abilities but also my appreciation for the values Beta upholds: safety, sustainability, and the pursuit of perfection. I leave this internship incredibly grateful and inspired.

Tilahta Software Engineering Intern - Georgia Institute of Technology

BETA gave me educational and developmental opportunities that I couldn’t have gotten elsewhere. The level of trust and responsibility given to interns allowed me to build experience and confidence in my capabilities with projects spanning a variety of topics, keeping me engaged and constantly expanding my skillset. A company culture with emphasis on supporting others meant I was never without guidance if needed, and every person I interacted with throughout the duration of my internship was kind, helpful, and friendly.

Caroline Battery Intern - University of Vermont

My favorite part about BETA is the ability to make an impact while teaching the skills necessary to thrive. My very first task was to verify our flight computer's hardware requirements as part of risk-reduction testing. Finding test points for verification forced me to scour the schematic, but also gave me a deeper understanding of the circuitry and thought process behind it. Later, this knowledge accompanied me when I laid out for-flight boards, while my mentors taught me to be thorough and take pride in my work. Today, this experience informs my design of a dissimilar flight computer, from finalizing the high-level architecture to carefully evaluating newly selected chips.

Dylan Electrical Engineering Intern - UCLA

During my internship on BETA's Data Science team, I developed manufacturing status tracking and analytics tools that are now used daily across production lines. Watching my work spread throughout the organization and drive real impact was incredibly fulfilling and made me excited to go into work every day. My takeaways from my internship experience went far beyond the technical skills I gained; I worked alongside some incredible people (and their dogs), flew a plane for the first time, and got to ride in a helicopter to get ice cream!

Career Growth

At BETA, we support both current team members and new candidates with opportunities to grow their skills and advance their careers. Through on-the-job training and formal education support, we make it possible to continually learn while contributing to meaningful work. Our rotational programs for workforce-ready roles provide hands-on experience across disciplines, helping individuals earn a degree or certification while laying the foundation for a long-term career in aviation and technology.

We believe in enabling our teammates to be better—by training, explaining, and being transparent. There are no gatekeepers here; instead, we focus on unblocking ourselves and others, sharing mistakes openly, and giving away knowledge so everyone can build on it. Leadership means removing obstacles, enabling each other, and knowing when to step back so others can thrive. Creating an environment where individual growth fuels collective success.

Apprenticeship

The Career Path Entry Program, offered in partnership with CCV, provides a pathway for early-career professionals and career changers to enter advanced manufacturing through the Certified Production Technician (CPT) training. Participants gain hands-on experience through labs and job shadows while building essential skills for long-term success. BETA proudly supports this initiative and has welcomed several graduates into full-time roles.

High School Job Shadow

BETA’s High School Job Shadow program has been revamped based on feedback from past participants and now offers two separate week-long summer sessions for high school students to explore career pathways in electric aviation.

During the program, students participate in hands-on skill-building workshops, connect with members of the BETA team, and gain exposure to areas of BETA’s business such as advanced manufacturing, aviation, electronics, and creative fields. Along the way, participants experience the collaboration, problem-solving, and innovation that go into building the future of flight.

Participants also gain valuable early professional skills, including building a resume, developing a LinkedIn profile, and learning how to network and present themselves in professional settings.

Hosted at BETA’s South Burlington locations, the program offers a behind-the-scenes look at what it’s like to work at an electric aerospace company on a mission to transform aviation and create a more sustainable future. Students leave with new skills, professional insights, and a clearer understanding of the many paths that lead to careers in technology and manufacturing.
Applications open April 1.
