🏢 About Beta Technologies

Beta Technologies is pioneering sustainable electric transport with advanced vertical aircraft and extensive charging infrastructure, creating a complete ecosystem for electric aviation. Their focus on both airborne products and ground infrastructure makes them unique in the electric transport space. Working here means contributing to cutting-edge technology that directly addresses climate change through innovative transportation solutions.

About This Role

This Network Engineer role is critical for ensuring seamless data transfer between airborne aircraft and ground/cloud systems, supporting live telemetry and data offload across diverse connection types. You'll design and maintain network architectures that enable reliable communication between aircraft and ground stations, directly impacting flight operations and data analytics. The role involves configuring everything from satellite links to mesh networks for redundant communication paths in Beta's unique electric aviation environment.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day involves monitoring network performance for aircraft telemetry data transfer, configuring VPN links over satellite or cellular connections for specific missions, and updating network documentation for new ground station deployments. You might troubleshoot connectivity issues between airborne products and AWS endpoints, participate in planning sessions for mesh network expansions, and respond to incidents during your on-call rotation to maintain service reliability for flight operations.
