Establish Rainmaker’s machine learning strategy and deliver operationally useful models for atmospheric science and cloud-seeding operations. Responsibilities include prioritizing ML opportunities, building forecasting and multimodal models, combining radar, satellite, UAS, and in-situ data, creating datasets and evaluation procedures, assessing uncertainty and failure modes, and collaborating with atmospheric scientists and software engineers to productionize successful research.

Own Rainmaker’s production infrastructure and security, including cloud systems, deployments, CI/CD, observability, identity and access, secrets, vulnerability management, incident response, and recovery. Build reliable 24/7 remote systems that tolerate lost communications, establish deployment and recovery standards, and support rapid software development across engineering, science, aircraft, and field operations.

Own development of airborne atmospheric sensing hardware from scientific requirements through architecture, design, fabrication, calibration, flight testing, validation, and production. Lead delivery of a cloud-particle imaging instrument for UAS deployment, coordinate multidisciplinary engineering and science teams, resolve integration issues, establish verification and acceptance procedures, and develop the company’s atmospheric-instrumentation roadmap.

Build and maintain full-stack software across internal tools, campaign planning, field operations, weather and geospatial data, aircraft operations, and customer-facing products. Work directly with users and cross-functional teams to identify problems, prototype solutions, and own products through deployment and continued development. Improve shared software components and technical patterns across the organization.

Supports mechanical engineering for UAS mission-critical subsystems through rapid hardware prototyping, test fixture design, FEA studies, technical documentation, and fabrication data preparation. Collaborates with electrical, software, manufacturing, and mechanical engineering teams. Uses SolidWorks, FEA, 3D printing, and prototyping methods to iterate designs based on flight-test feedback and mission requirements.
