Job Description

Wildfire and Climate Change Rain acknowledges the essential role of wildfire in healthy ecosystems. However: our ecosystem is not presently healthy. The obvious, necessary solution to climate change is reducing human carbon emissions. Until that happens, wildfire is both a symptom and a cause of climate change: every year, wildfires release 8 billion tons of carbon globally. We need tools to adapt to a changing climate, and the Rain System is one in a suite of tools that includes controlled burns, innovative policies, and ongoing forest management. We believe uncontrolled wildfires destroying communities, livelihoods and lives are unnecessary to meet our climate objectives.

**Remote UAS Operator / Remote Pilot in Command (RPIC)**

Protect our climate using your UAS operations experience. Every wildfire starts small. Rain contains wildfires within 10 minutes of ignition using a network of autonomous drones permanently installed throughout high risk regions. We are fire sprinklers for the forest.

Rain is backed by the expertise of wildland fire professionals and the institutional and private capital of Silicon Valley leaders. We are solving our own problem.

**Responsibilities:**

* Participate in ground and flight operations as the Pilot In Command (PIC) and remote operator

* Remotely pilot > 55 lb rotorcraft systems

* Collaborate with engineering teams on development of the PIC and Ground Control Software (GCS) interfaces
