Network Engineer | Digital Infrastructure

How you will contribute to revolutionizing electric aviation:

• Collaborate with internal teams to ensure seamless data transfer between all platforms. 
• Design and deploy network architectures supporting data offload and live telemetry from airborne products to on-prem and cloud (AWS) endpoints. 
• Configure and maintain links over VPNs (e.g., IPsec, Tailscale), satellite (e.g., Starlink), cellular, radio (VHF, UHF), and fiber/copper. 
• Design, implement, and configure mesh networks to support redundant communication paths between aircraft and ground stations. 
• Configure firewalls and routers to use VLANs and tunnels ensuring proper traffic segmentation and routing. 
• Monitor network performance, conduct proactive maintenance, and respond to incidents to assure service reliability. 
• Maintain up-to-date documentation of network topology, configurations, and security controls. 
• Participate in on-call rotation for after-hours support and planned maintenance windows. 

Minimum Qualifications:

• BS in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology, or related field—or equivalent experience. 
• 3+ years of professional network engineering experience. 
• Proficiency in VPN configuration and management 
• Experience with corporate network topologies including firewalls, switches, and access points. 
• Expert-level knowledge of LAN and WAN-based technologies and protocols, including BGP, SD-WAN, OSPF, Layer 2/3 Switching & Routing. 
• Proficiency in VLAN configuration, management, and troubleshooting in complex network environments. 
• Proficiency with Linux network configuration and troubleshooting (e.g., iptables, routing, interface management, performance tuning). 
• Working knowledge of cloud networking (AWS VPC, Direct Connect, site-to-site VPN, Azure VNet, etc.). 
• Experience working in a fast-paced and dynamic environment. 
• Build and support great teams; foster teamwork, collaboration, and transparency. 

Above and Beyond Qualifications:

• Prior hands-on experience with airborne or vehicular telemetry/data offload networks.
• Familiarity with Starlink or similar satellite communications systems.
• Deep understanding of network security best practices, including traffic segmentation and zero-trust architectures.
• Experience implementing UDP multicast for live streaming, especially in challenging network conditions.
• AWS certifications (Solutions Architect, Networking Specialty) or equivalent.
• Experience in fast-paced, regulated environments such as aviation, defense, or transportation.
• Familiarity with network automation (e.g., Ansible, Python scripting for networking tasks).

Physical Demands and Work Environment:

• While the role does not typically involve strenuous physical labor, candidates should be comfortable maneuvering within aircraft environments. Additionally, occasional travel may be necessary to provide on-site support at various locations.
