Description
Aerones is seeking an experienced Senior Network Engineer to keep our offices, production sites, cloud systems and field teams reliably and securely connected. In this role, you will design and run our network infrastructure, keep field teams online through LTE/5G and Starlink, secure our network boundaries with IT Security, and use AI in your daily work to troubleshoot and document faster.
Our network has to work everywhere from the Riga office to robots on wind farms around the world, and it needs to grow with Aerones.
What You'll Do
- Design, implement and maintain reliable network infrastructure across our offices, production sites, cloud environments and field operations.
- Configure and manage MikroTik, Ubiquiti, Teltonika or similar equipment, covering LAN, WAN, Wi-Fi, VPN, routing, switching, firewalls, VLANs, DNS and DHCP.
- Plan network architecture with clear segmentation, redundancy, failover, secure remote access and site-to-site connectivity, using dynamic routing such as OSPF or BGP where needed.
- Keep field teams connected by supporting LTE/5G routers, Starlink, VPN access and bonding, and troubleshoot remotely when issues arise.
- Monitor availability, performance and security with Grafana, Prometheus and SNMP, and take incidents through to root cause and long-term fixes.
- Maintain firewall rules, VPN configurations and access policies together with IT Security.
- Build and support hybrid connectivity between local infrastructure, Google Cloud and other hosted environments.
- Use AI tools in your daily work to troubleshoot faster, analyse logs, review configurations and write documentation.
- Keep the network documented and repeatable with diagrams, IP plans, a device inventory, configuration backups and change control.
What You'll Need to Succeed
- Strong hands-on experience implementing, administering and troubleshooting networks in business or industrial environments.
- Solid knowledge of TCP/IP, routing and switching, including VLANs, subnetting, NAT and dynamic routing protocols such as OSPF or BGP.
- Experience managing routers, switches, firewalls, access points, LTE/5G routers and VPN gateways.
- Good knowledge of network security, including segmentation, least-privilege access, firewall policies and secure remote access.
- Practical experience with network monitoring, alerting and logging, and the ability to trace complex issues from the ISP to the endpoint.
- Experience supporting hybrid environments that combine office networks, local servers, cloud infrastructure and remote sites.
- Hands-on experience using AI tools in your everyday work, for example to analyse logs, summarise incidents or draft documentation.
- An ownership mindset, good documentation habits and professional English, which you will use daily with international teams, vendors and field crews.
Nice to Have
- Experience with MikroTik, Ubiquiti or Teltonika platforms.
- Network certifications such as CCNA, CCNP or equivalent.
- Cloud networking experience in Google Cloud, AWS or Azure, such as VPCs, firewall rules and hybrid VPNs.
- Scripting or automation experience with Python, Bash, Ansible or network APIs.
What We Offer
- Competitive pay with a salary of €3,000-€5,000 gross/month.
- Global impact through robotics shaping the future of renewable energy.
- Career growth with real opportunities to learn, develop, and advance.
- Cutting-edge technology with hands-on experience in innovative robotics.
- Enjoy the journey with team events, celebrations, and a vibrant company culture.
- Health insurance after your probation period.
- Extra time to recharge with additional Health Recovery Days.
- Learning support with paid study leave.
- Life-event benefits to support you when it matters most.

Approximately 250 employees (source: ycombinator.com). Revenue doubled in 2024, though exact figures for 2023-2025 are not publicly disclosed as it remains private (source: aerones.com).
What They Do
Aerones specializes in innovative robotics solutions for wind turbine maintenance, inspection, repair, cleaning, and coating. Utilizing a patented ground-controlled winch system, their technology allows for climbing blades and towers, significantly enhancing operational efficiency by enabling tasks to be performed up to four times faster with ten times less idle time compared to traditional methods (source: aerones.com). Their core services encompass a wide range of offerings, including lightning protection system testing, visual and non-destructive inspections, leading edge repairs, painting, ice-phobic coatings, and AI-driven predictive maintenance analytics (source: aerones.com). Aerones targets onshore wind farms globally, with ongoing development of offshore prototypes that aim to achieve significant efficiency gains while reducing the need for vessel use (source: aerones.com). Their clientele includes major operators representing over 50% of global wind capacity, such as NextEra, GE Vernova, Vestas, and Siemens Gamesa, focusing on large-scale wind farm operators across Europe, North America, and South America (source: aerones.com). By leveraging certified robots that can operate in challenging weather conditions, Aerones enhances turbine efficiency, extends asset life, and reduces operational costs by at least 40%, while also halving CO2 emissions during services (source: balticvc.com).
Projects & Track Record
Since its inception in 2018, Aerones has serviced over 10,000 turbines and 30,000 blades across 27-30+ countries, contributing to the generation of an additional 400,000 MWh of clean electricity and preventing the emission of 165,000 tonnes of CO2 since 2020 (source: aerones.com). Notable projects include comprehensive lightning protection system inspections and drainage hole cleaning on 14 turbines at the Red Dirt Wind Plant and 17 turbines at the Thunder Ranch Wind Plant in Oklahoma, USA, for Enel Green Power, which were recognized as operationally and economically successful (source: openinnovability.enel.com). Additionally, Aerones conducted lightning conductivity tests on 100 turbines at the Seymour wind farm in Texas for AREVON, achieving an average of three turbines serviced per day (source: aerones.com). The company is currently engaged in a €6 million Global Framework Agreement with Enel Green Power for the RoBoost Program, which aims to deploy robotized services across its global wind fleet, while also developing offshore prototypes with EU CINEA funding to target a reduction of 6,423,000 tonnes of CO2 (source: cinea.ec.europa.eu). With partnerships including GE Vernova, NextEra, and Vestas, Aerones is expanding its geographic presence and operational capabilities through its new hub in Texas (source: aerones.com). In 2024, the company successfully tested its robotics on offshore turbines, marking a significant milestone in its entry into sea-based maintenance (source: latvia.eu).
Recent Developments
In June 2025, Aerones successfully raised $62 million in an oversubscribed funding round led by Activate Capital and S2G, with participation from Carbon Equity, Overlap Holdings, and existing investors. This funding is aimed at supporting market expansion, AI and R&D initiatives, manufacturing, and service enhancements, following a year in which the company tripled its revenue (source: balticvc.com). In 2024, Aerones not only doubled its revenue but also expanded its operations to a new hub in Dallas, Texas, and appointed Dr. Ashley Crowther as Chief Commercial Officer to enhance turbine reliability expertise (source: aerones.com). In 2023, the company signed a €6 million Global Framework Agreement with Enel Green Power for the deployment of the RoBoost Program across its wind fleet, following a successful $30 million funding round (source: openinnovability.enel.com). Earlier funding rounds included $9 million raised in April 2022, which helped to bolster its operational capabilities (source: ycombinator.com).
