The posting

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 Field Scientist is responsible for the installation, maintenance of meteorological instrumentation and data collection systems. The role also involves quality control, data wrangling, and scientific analysis and novel algorithmic development using the various datasets . This role requires a strong understanding of meteorological principles, electronics, and data acquisition systems. The specialist will work closely with meteorologists, engineers, and technicians to ensure the accuracy and reliability of collected data. Additionally, the specialist may be involved in scientific research projects and contribute to publications.

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
