Field Service Engineer - Meteorology

About WeatherFlow Networks WeatherFlow Networks and WeatherFlow-Tempest provide custom data-driven weather solutions to homeowners and Fortune 500 companies alike. WeatherFlow technology is used daily to make informed decisions on recreational activities, home automation, financial consulting, and public safety. Our mission is to help confront and mitigate the enormous cost of weather on business and daily life. About the Role WeatherFlow Networks, Inc is looking to hire a full-time field service engineer (FSE) to help maintain and grow its mesonet of automated weather stations. These weather stations are largely located in the coastal regions of the continental United States, with a small number of installations in Hawaii, Canada, the Caribbean, and parts of Europe. Description The major duty of a FSE is the installation and maintenance of automated weather stations. The position is roughly 50% travel, alternating one week of field work with one week of office work. Due to the nature of the job, working from home is not a viable option (however, occasional WFH days can be arranged). A typical fieldwork week involves flying to a region and driving from weather station to weather station in that region for repairs or new installations. Aspects of fieldwork can be physically demanding, requiring the climbing of structures such as cell towers, 30-foot-tall concrete poles, and U.S. Coast Guard navigation aids. Additionally, there is frequent work over the water and from small boats. As such, all FSE receive company-paid and OSHA approved climbing instruction, rescue training, and safety certification. When not working in the field, a FSE works out of the Hudson, MA office on logistics for upcoming field work. Some of these logistics include testing and building weather station components, packing and shipping equipment, and maintaining and ordering inventory. Good FSE’s are organized, independent, and responsible. Typically, they work in pairs. They think on their feet and adapt to sudden problems associated with flight delays or inclement weather. We will train a candidate in the skills needed for the job. An interest in meteorology and a bachelor’s degree in STEM are helpful, but we will consider candidates with other strong qualifications. Requirements Willing to relocate to the Boston metro area (Hudson, MA) Willing to work in inclement weather as necessary Willing to work in the marine environment, especially from small crafts Comfortable working hands-free at height Comfortable using hand tools and small power tools Have a basic knowledge of DC circuits Have a valid U.S. driver’s license Have a passport or the ability to obtain one Have no legal issues working in Canada, Mexico, or Europe Able to lift 35lbs at a time without issue Salary and Benefits $58k/yr – $62k/yr, full-time salaried position Flexible Time Off (FTO) policy Paid Sick Time & Safe Time Medical Insurance Vision & Dental Insurance 401(k) Retirement Plan #J-18808-Ljbffr Tempest
