Network Design & Configuration Engineer
We are partnering with an innovative aerospace company developing next-generation autonomous aircraft and the supporting technologies that will enable safe and scalable Urban Air Mobility. As they continue to grow, they are looking for talented engineers to help shape the future of flight.
We are seeking a Network Design & Configuration Engineer to design and support high-availability networks for our Remote Supervision Segment (RSS). Working closely with systems engineers, integrators, software engineers, and developers, you will define network architectures, installation designs, equipment layouts, and facility requirements to support the safe operation of autonomous aircraft in an Urban Air Mobility (UAM) environment.
What You'll Do:
- Validate ground system network designs and develop detailed architecture specifications.
- Define and implement high-availability, resilience, and observability requirements across ground and supplier-integrated systems.
- Design, build, and manage network environments for integration labs and prototype testing.
- Configure and maintain routing, switching, and firewall policies to support lab operations and SATCOM testing.
- Ensure supplier network architectures and requirements align with industry safety and development assurance standards (e.g., ARP4754B).
- Develop return-to-service procedures, service interface agreements, and operational documentation.
- Support the integration, testing, and deployment of ground systems.
- Create installation designs, equipment layouts, operator procedures, and configuration documentation throughout the development lifecycle.
Requirements:- 8+ years of experience designing, implementing, and supporting production network environments.
- Strong expertise in high-availability and fault-tolerant network architectures.
- Hands-on experience with routing, switching, and firewall configuration and management.
- Experience supporting integration labs, prototype environments, or system test networks.
- Strong routing and switching expertise, preferably with Juniper platforms.
- Deep understanding of BGP, OSPF, EVPN-VXLAN, and MPLS technologies.
- Experience designing and supporting multi-site and partner-connected network ecosystems.
- Excellent configuration management, troubleshooting, and technical documentation skills.
Preferred Qualifications:- Experience in aerospace, aviation, or other safety-critical environments.
- Knowledge of supplier-integrated network architectures and third-party system integration.
- Experience with network automation, monitoring, and observability platforms.
- Familiarity with SATCOM, test-range, or mission-critical connectivity environments.
Who you are:- A self-motivated and proactive engineer who thrives on solving complex technical challenges.
- Analytical and solution-oriented, with a strong attention to detail.
- An effective communicator who can adapt technical information to a variety of audiences.
- Adaptable and comfortable working in fast-paced, evolving environments with changing priorities.
- A collaborative team player who builds strong working relationships across disciplines.
