Careers at AIRGAPNET

Help us build a new physical security layer for Europe's networks.

AIRGAPNET develops and manufactures hardware, firmware and software in Austria for controlled physical isolation of network connections. Joining now means helping shape the product, the processes and the way controlled connectivity is brought to market.

Why AIRGAPNET exists

Being online 24/7 also means being reachable 24/7.

AIRGAPNET focuses on a clear idea: selected systems should only be connected when there is a deliberate reason for access. The product combines physical network switching with software-supported control so organisations can reduce unnecessary reachability in critical environments.

Others write the next firewall rule. We build the switch that physically disconnects the network path.

What we build

Work that connects code, electronics and real operational use.

HW

Physical product

Device design, electronics, assembly, testing and production readiness for controlled connectivity hardware.

FW

Firmware and software

Control logic, interfaces, diagnostics and the software layers that make physical isolation usable in daily operations.

QA

Reliable delivery

Testing, documentation, logistics and customer-facing clarity so the product can move from the bench into real environments.

Why your work matters

Small decisions become part of a security control people can touch.

Code controls hardware behaviour.

Tests determine whether a device is ready to ship.

Research shapes future architecture.

Production and logistics make availability possible.

Technical advice helps IT teams use the product responsibly.

Job families

Different entry paths into one product mission.

We are preparing future roles across practical production work, engineering, research and technical customer work. For now, you can tell us where your interests fit best.

Production and logistics

Hands-on assembly, testing, packing, warehousing and shipping in Neuhofen. Suitable roles may include career changers and part-time paths.

Mostly on-site

Hardware, firmware and software

Engineering work across electronics, device behaviour, interfaces, diagnostics and production-ready implementation.

Role-dependent

Cybersecurity and research

Technical curiosity, documentation, threat thinking and careful evaluation of where physical isolation supports security architectures.

Depth and documentation

Technical sales

B2B conversations with IT, security, administrators, partners and customers who need clear answers about controlled connectivity.

Customer-facing

Culture and early-stage reality

Direct influence, visible outcomes and broad responsibility.

AIRGAPNET is practical, interdisciplinary, security-minded and quality-focused. Joining an early-stage company also means not every process is finished yet, priorities can change, and roles may be broader than in a large organisation. Documentation, care and product discipline still matter.

Hiring process

A simple, human process.

1

Application

Send a short message, your preferred area and optional CV or profile link.

2

First conversation

We check fit, expectations, availability and the role direction that makes sense.

3

Practical discussion

Depending on the area, we talk through technical depth, practical work, sales context or production tasks.

4

Next steps

If timing and fit work, we align on the concrete role, legal requirements and start path.

Speculative application

Tell us where you could help build AIRGAPNET.

Keep it short and concrete. A polished CV is helpful but not mandatory for every path. If you upload one, it will be stored privately and reviewed only by authorised AIRGAPNET admins.

Work authorisation note

Candidates must hold valid authorisation to work in Austria by the planned start date. AIRGAPNET does not currently provide first-time visa, relocation or residence support.

Do I need a perfect CV?

No. For practical production paths, a clear short message can be enough to start a conversation.

Are remote roles possible?

It depends on the area. Production is on-site; engineering and research models depend on role requirements and project phase.

Where is AIRGAPNET based?

AIRGAPNET is based in Neuhofen an der Krems, Austria, with hardware-related work closely tied to the product and production environment.
