How to Apply for Network & Security Engineer
at TeraWatt Infrastructure
🏢 About TeraWatt Infrastructure
TeraWatt Infrastructure is uniquely positioned at the forefront of the clean energy transition, specializing in scaling electric vehicle charging solutions specifically for commercial fleets. Working here means contributing directly to reducing carbon emissions and accelerating fleet electrification—a mission-driven environment where technology directly enables sustainability. Their focus on building large-scale, reliable infrastructure for a critical emerging market offers engineers the chance to work on high-impact, complex systems from the ground up.
About This Role
This Network & Security Engineer role is central to building and securing the global digital backbone that powers TeraWatt's EV charging network. You'll be responsible for architecting resilient LAN/WAN/VPN/cloud networks that can scale with rapid fleet adoption while implementing robust security measures to protect critical charging infrastructure and customer data. Your work directly ensures the reliability and security of systems that enable the transition to electric transportation.
💡 A Day in the Life
A typical day might involve designing network architecture for new charging site deployments, reviewing security logs and vulnerability scan results from the global network, and collaborating with software and hardware teams on system integrations. You could be optimizing VPN configurations for better site-to-site connectivity, developing incident response procedures for potential security events, and participating in cross-functional meetings to ensure network and security requirements align with new product launches.
🚀 Application Tools
🎯 Who TeraWatt Infrastructure Is Looking For
- Has 5+ years of hands-on experience designing and securing enterprise-scale networks, with proven ability to architect global solutions that balance performance, scalability, and resilience.
- Demonstrates deep practical knowledge of both network fundamentals (TCP/IP, routing, switching, VLANs) and modern security tools (SIEM, IDS/IPS, endpoint protection, vulnerability scanners) in production environments.
- Possesses experience conducting vulnerability assessments, penetration testing, and developing incident response plans—showing proactive rather than reactive security mindset.
- Thrives in collaborative, cross-functional settings, able to work with teams on system integrations and security compliance in a fast-paced, mission-driven industry.
📝 Tips for Applying to TeraWatt Infrastructure
Quantify your experience with enterprise-scale networks—mention specific projects where you architected or optimized global LAN/WAN/VPN/cloud networks, including scale metrics (e.g., 'supported 500+ sites').
Highlight any experience in critical infrastructure, IoT, or operational technology (OT) security, as protecting EV charging systems blends IT and OT security challenges.
Tailor your resume to show both network architecture AND cybersecurity implementation—this role requires equal strength in both areas, not just one specialty.
Research and reference TeraWatt's specific focus on fleet electrification in your application materials to show genuine interest in their mission.
Include concrete examples of vulnerability assessments, penetration testing, or incident response plans you've developed or executed, emphasizing outcomes.
✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter
["Your experience designing scalable, resilient networks for distributed infrastructure (similar to EV charging networks) and how it aligns with TeraWatt's global expansion needs.", "Specific examples of implementing security measures (firewalls, IDS/IPS, etc.) in mission-critical environments and how you've balanced security with system availability.", 'Your passion for clean energy/sustainability and how your technical skills can directly contribute to accelerating fleet electrification.', 'Collaboration experience with cross-functional teams on system integrations and security compliance, highlighting communication and problem-solving skills.']
Generate Cover Letter →🔍 Research Before Applying
To stand out, make sure you've researched:
- → TeraWatt's specific fleet charging solutions and partnerships—understand their target customers (commercial fleets) and how their infrastructure differs from consumer charging.
- → The company's recent news, funding rounds, or expansion plans to demonstrate knowledge of their growth trajectory and technical scaling challenges.
- → Industry challenges in EV charging infrastructure, particularly around grid integration, reliability, and cybersecurity concerns for connected vehicles.
- → Their technology stack hints from job description (cloud networks, global deployment) and how it supports their mission of scalable fleet electrification.
💬 Prepare for These Interview Topics
Based on this role, you may be asked about:
⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Presenting as purely a network engineer or purely a security specialist—this role requires integrated expertise in both domains.
- Focusing only on traditional corporate IT environments without showing understanding of operational technology, IoT, or critical infrastructure security.
- Using generic application materials that don't reference TeraWatt's mission in fleet electrification or the specific technical challenges of scaling EV charging networks.
