Electro-Mechanical Engineering Intern

Electro-Mechanical Engineering Intern Location: El Segundo, CA | Department: Engineering | Employment Type:Intern-Fulltime Onsite | Start: Immediate

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 will be reporting directly to the Lead Mechanical Engineer and will be working on mission critical subsystems for our UAS platform. Location: El Segundo, CA | Department: Engineering | Employment Type:Intern-Fulltime Onsite | Start: Immediate
