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.

We are seeking an experienced Network Engineer to design, implement, and deploy resilient, secure network solutions for our products. This individual will support various product teams such as Flight Test and Charge. The ideal candidate can architect and maintain flexible network topologies that meet the demanding requirements of aviation, ensuring efficient, secure data transmission to both on-premise and cloud environments.

How you will contribute to revolutionizing electric aviation:

Collaborate with Flight Test, Data, Telemetry, Charge, and IT teams to ensure seamless data transfer between all platforms.

Design and deploy network architectures supporting data offload and live telemetry from airborne platforms to on-prem and cloud (AWS) endpoints.

Design and deploy network architectures supporting connectivity from remote charge stations to cloud (AWS) endpoints.

Configure and maintain secure, high-performance connectivity, leveraging technologies including VPNs (e.g., IPsec, Tailscale), satellite links (e.g., Starlink), and traditional WAN.

Design, implement, and configure RF (HF, VHF, UHF) radio mesh networks to support redundant communication paths between aircraft and ground stations.

Configure VLANs and tunnels to ensure proper traffic segmentation, isolation, and routing within mesh topologies.

Implement and troubleshoot TCP and UDP-based transmissions, including real-time UDP multicast for streaming data.

Design networks to accommodate multiple isolated or overlapping data flows with distinct security requirements.

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.

Stay current with industry best practices and provide guidance on new networking solutions for airborne, on-prem, remote, and cloud environments.

Minimum Qualifications:

BS in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology, or related field—or equivalent experience.

3+ years of professional network engineering experience.

Demonstrated experience with both TCP and UDP protocol troubleshooting.

Proficiency in VPN configuration and management (preference for experiential knowledge of Tailscale or similar mesh VPNs).

Experience with network design in mixed (radio, satellite, cellular, etc.) connectivity environments.

Hands-on experience with RF radio mesh networking technologies and protocols.

Experience with corporate network topologies including firewalls, switches, and access points.

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).

Hands-on experience connecting embedded and/or IoT devices to IP networks in production environments.

Working knowledge of cloud networking (AWS VPC, Direct Connect, site-to-site VPN, Azure VNet, etc.).

Comfortable with CLI-based network device administration and common tools (Wireshark, tcpdump, etc.).

Strong documentation and communication skills.

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.
