The Production team at Rainmaker builds our UAS platforms, assembles dispersion payloads, and integrates in-situ/remote sensing systems into every vehicle we deliver. If you are interested in working in an extremely innovative and fast-paced environment, where your work directly makes an impact and ensures mission success in the field, this is a fantastic opportunity.To meet our engineering, test, and production goals Rainmaker requires the ability to manufacture its own machined parts in timelines not possible by outsourcing.

To complement this, we are seeking someone to fill the role of Lead 5 Axis Machinist.

Maintain a tool and workholding library that can support both highly varied prototypes as well as stable short run production.
Manage the maintenance and calibrations of our machine tools.
Program and operate CMM inspection as well as provide results to engineers.
Manage other CNC operators and machinists.
Not be afraid to get dirty, make cool parts day in and out, help bring an end to fresh water scarcity.

Base salary + overtime + equity (the advertised compensation reflects total package). We take care of the people who are in the trenches building this with us — and we make sure you share in the upside when we win.
We also offer relocation assistance on a case-by-case basis.
