About The Position

BETA Technologies is hiring a Senior Quality Control Inspection Technician to perform inspections and testing in an aerospace manufacturing environment, ensuring conformity with type-design engineering data and established requirements for reliability, workmanship, and quality-control standards. The technician documents inspection results, identifies defects, reports increases in poor-quality items, and prevents nonconforming inventory from reaching production by quarantining, scrapping, or safely discarding items that do not meet specifications. The role also provides technical guidance and mentorship to less experienced inspection technicians. The position performs complex inspections, including First Article Inspections to AS9102, and final acceptance inspections of aircraft subassemblies and high-complexity components. It involves interpreting technical documents, developing inspection plans and work instructions, completing documentation in an ERP system, creating and reviewing non-conformance reports, participating in MRB reviews, and supporting disposition decisions. The technician helps resolve complex measurement challenges, improves inspection processes and documentation, and maintains measuring equipment and a clean, safe work area. The role is scheduled Friday through Sunday, 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Work may include indoor and outdoor activities in variable weather and conditions, and may involve walking, standing, sitting, climbing, balancing, bending, reaching, handling, stooping, kneeling, crouching, and lifting, carrying, pushing, or pulling up to 50 pounds. It may also involve operating material-handling equipment, exposure to variable noise, fumes, airborne particles, or hazardous chemicals, and use of personal protective equipment. Some duties may take place in a standard office setting using a computer; occasional travel by air or automobile may be required. Small-part work requires excellent hand-eye coordination and manual dexterity. Specific vision abilities include close and distance vision, peripheral vision, depth perception, and focus adjustment. Reasonable accommodation may be made for individuals with disabilities to perform essential functions. BETA Technologies describes its culture as inclusive and its mission as revolutionizing electric aviation while supporting sustainability. The company offers a competitive total-compensation package, including restricted stock units and performance stock units for full-time team members, onsite healthcare in Vermont, medical, dental and vision coverage, short- and long-term disability, paid parental leave, daily lunch, flight lessons, and additional perks. Compensation is listed as $28–$36 USD. Employment offers are contingent on a successful background check, and BETA participates in E-Verify.
