About the role
Acquire, process, collocate, and quality-control microwave, polar-orbiting, and geostationary satellite observations. Reproduce an existing retrieval or operational baseline before testing improvements.
What they're looking for
- Current undergraduate, master's, or PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, recent graduates, and other early-career researchers are all eligible
- Strong quantitative and programming ability, preferably in Python
- Experience with atmospheric remote sensing, satellite meteorology, physics, applied mathematics, electrical engineering, computer science, or a related field
- Interest in microwave sounders, polar-orbiting observations, geostationary imagery, retrieval methods, or scientific data products
- Ability to implement a scientific method, establish a baseline, and validate the result carefully
- Comfort working with large, imperfect, multidimensional observational datasets
More about this role
Make it rain. Make Snow. Make Earth Habitable.
Rainmaker builds and deploys audacious technologies that work with nature to create an abundant, habitable planet. We are modernizing proven cloud-seeding science with weather-resistant UAS, radar and satellite observations, numerical weather prediction, novel sensing and validation systems, and sustainable seeding technologies. We are building an integrated system to make more freshwater available to farms, ecosystems, and communities.
Our ambition is bold, but we pursue it with humility. We take on difficult problems in the real world with technical rigor, grit, integrity, and an openness to learning and course-correcting. We are hiring individuals with evidence of exceptional ability. If you want to build systems that endure, restore, and provide, and help deliver the future we were promised, we want to hear from you.
Rainmaker is pioneering a modern cloud-seeding system to increase precipitation, improve water availability, and address severe-weather challenges.
