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 Sales Engineer and Product Strategy Specialist supports BETA’s commercial success by operating at the intersection of technical analysis, customer engagement, and market-driven product strategy.

In addition to its sales engineering responsibilities, this position also plays a key role in identifying market opportunities, defining commercially driven product requirements, and developing product roadmap inputs.

  • Develop, maintain, and continuously improve customer-facing analytical tools, models, and presentations to enable repeatable and scalable sales execution.
  • Assist in preparation of technical inputs for proposals, RFP responses, and sales presentations.
  • Product Strategy & Market Analysis
  • Synthesize market insights, sales engineering findings, and competitive benchmarking to support product positioning, differentiation, and roadmap development.
  • Analyze customer use cases, mission profiles, and operational requirements and translate them into recommended aircraft capability and product requirements.
  • Develop and communicate market-driven product requirements and priorities to Program Management and Product Development teams.
  • Develop commercial product roadmap inputs, business cases, and market studies, and represent Commercial priorities in cross-functional roadmap alignment and trade-off discussions.
  • Contribute to pricing, value proposition, and total cost of ownership analyses.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration
  • Work closely with Sales to prioritize opportunities and align technical and analytical support with commercial needs.
  • Collaborate with Engineering and Product teams to ensure technical accuracy and consistency of customer-facing information.
  • Coordinate with Marketing and Commercial teams to support go-to-market narratives and product messaging.
  • Help standardize analysis methods, templates, and tools to improve efficiency and consistency across commercial activities.
Minimum Qualifications:
  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Aviation, or a related technical field.
  • 5+ years of aviation industry experience in sales engineering, technical sales support, flight operations engineering, product strategy, product marketing, or similar roles in aerospace or aviation.
  • Strong understanding of aircraft performance, operating economics, and aviation operations.
  • Ability to translate complex technical data into clear, customer-facing insights.
  • Experience developing analytical tools and models (advanced Excel required; Python or Matlab a plus), and presentations (advanced PowerPoint required).
  • Familiarity with, and interest in, applying AI-enabled resources to develop commercial materials, analyses, and sales tools.
  • Strong written, verbal, and presentation skills.
  • Comfortable working directly with customers and cross-functional internal teams.

  • Background in market analysis, competitive intelligence, pricing strategies, or business case development.
  • Pilot, A&P maintainer, or other aviation certifications.
  • MBA or advanced degree is a plus.
Physical Demands and Work Environment:
  • Ability to operate autonomously in an environment with evolving processes and procedures.

Form CC-305

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
