Senior Mechanical Engineer
Rainmaker
Develops cloud-seeding systems to increase precipitation
Salary Range: 120000 to 150000 (Currency: USD) (Pay period: per-year-salary)
Rainmaker is pioneering a modern cloud seeding system to solve water scarcity and inclement weather problems. We develop and incorporate radar validation, weather-resistant UAS, numerical weather modeling, and sustainable cloud seeds into an effective precipitation enhancement solution.
The Engineering team at Rainmaker works on our UAS, dispersion payload, and in-situ/remote sensing systems. If you are interested in working in an extremely innovative and fast paced environment, where your work directly makes an impact and difference in our operational system, this is a fantastic opportunity.
In this role, you’ll own mechanical hardware from concept through production, working closely with other engineers to solve design challenges, build and test prototypes, and deliver reliable systems.
Rainmaker builds cloud-seeding systems that pair weather software, radar sensing, and unmanned aircraft to increase precipitation and create more freshwater for farms, ecosystems, communities, and industry. The system combines atmospheric science with field deployments, using planning software, real-time sensing, and autonomous seeding operations to seed clouds and boost rainfall. It differentiates itself by integrating multiple technologies into a single workflow and by citing verified seeded precipitation in research near Homer, Alaska. Its goal is to lower the cost per acre-foot of incremental water and scale capabilities—called Weather Prime—to provide an alternative to desalination in basins like the Colorado River.
