WindBorne is hiring Software Engineering interns to help build our in situ global nervous system, Atlas: From data driven automations in Palo Alto, to launch infrastructure in Korea, to the flight software that flies across the globe, back down the constellation management suite running on our phones, there is so much to build, and hopefully you can help!

WindBorne is hiring interns for its Electrical Engineering team.

As Finance at WindBorne, you will play a critical role in building the foundation and strategy behind our financial operations, working closely with the CEO and Chief of Staff. This role is ideal for someone who cares about our mission and wants to have a big impact as the first full-time finance hire. We’re looking for a problem solver—whether junior or experienced—who's eager to dive into the details, tackle challenges head-on, and grow with us as we scale.‍WindBorne operates in a complex and exciting environment for accounting and financial planning. We produce hundreds of balloons monthly and manage thousands of parts across subsidiaries on three continents. Our diverse customer base includes government, commercial, and philanthropic organizations. As we scale, managing capital expenditures becomes more critical. ‍You will be responsible for building out our financial operations and practices, with a focus on speed and efficiency. We currently outsource some accounting work and will bring more in-house over time. As the company grows, this role will evolve, with the opportunity to take on more responsibility across G&A functions. ‍We're committed to advancing technology to help humanity adapt to climate change quickly. Joining our mission offers a chance to make a significant global societal impact. If you're excited about working with cutting-edge technology and a dynamic team, WindBorne is your destination.‍

WindBorne is looking for a Firmware Wizard to own our entire firmware stack. As a vertically integrated weather company, we design, calibrate, & integrate our own custom sensors & control mechanisms into our autonomous balloons. This poses some unique challenges: most components are outside their temperature spec, power is extremely limited and it is not easy to update code when the system is many miles in the air. We believe the most interesting work happens at the intersection of hardware and software, where clever code can compensate for physical limitations. In this role, you’ll design and run experiments to understand the behaviors of our system in weird conditions, then cosplay as a 1960s NASA engineer to glean insight from the limited data available. You’ll own firmware strategy, making quick, tactical decisions on whether to vomit some code for a janky test or design a robust solution that will accelerate future development. From maintaining our custom RTOS and hardware abstraction layer to developing the driver interfaces for our suite of atmospheric sensors, you'll be solving fascinating challenges alongside a team of brilliant, passionate engineers who are revolutionizing our understanding of the atmosphere.

We’re adding a scrappy, deal-hungry Sales Associate to our already thriving Growth Org to expand our work in both DoD and civilian Federal agencies. The right candidate will possess a combination of megacharged motivation, technical curiosity, and strategic tact. You will own green field sales in agencies WindBorne is ready to break into and expand business development with existing customers. If selling ground-breaking hardware and software for the benefit of humanity sounds ideal for your next career adventure, then we want to talk.

WindBorne is looking for a Manufacturing Test Engineer to ensure the quality and reliability of our products while we exponentially scale our manufacturing production. You will take ownership of developing and implementing internal testing systems aimed at ensuring the consistent delivery of high-quality units to the field. Additionally, you will play a crucial role in diagnosing issues with returned units, identifying root causes, and implementing corrective measures to enhance product reliability and performance. The test role at WindBorne is fairly unusual thanks to a combination of two factors: First, there is still tremendous potential for improvement of the hardware capabilities, even as we simultaneously work to scale. It’s not unreasonable for a major design update to come with a 2x performance improvement, so it’s necessary to rapidly move from R&D to volume production. Secondly, as a data company, we are both the builders and the users of our hardware, and can freely set the acceptable level of reliability based on operational needs. If we can improve performance by 50% but raise failure rates by 10%, that can be a totally worthwhile trade to get more net data. Your job will be to identify and quantify failure modes, design tests to investigate failures in manufacturing and flight, and generally work to improve manufacturing. You will also work with the responsible design engineers to develop solutions that you will help implement and create testing to ensure they are followed. We're dedicated to helping humanity adapt to climate change as fast as possible, and you can be a part of our mission to make this global societal impact. If you like the idea of working on cutting-edge technology, and working with a fast-moving team, WindBorne is the place for you.

WindBorne is seeking a Meteorological Data Scientist to contribute to the improvement of weather forecasting and climate analyses. As a member of the weather team, you’ll incorporate WindBorne’s unique state-of-the-art balloon constellation observations into the most advanced weather prediction systems. You’ll work with our team of scientists, engineers and flight controllers to influence the collection and use of observations from start to finish, beginning with balloon flight and ending with insights to help consumers, businesses and governments adapt to changing weather and climate.

WindBorne has the best data and the best forecasts in the world, and we’re building a product to bring these forecasts to real users — and inspire delight along the way. We need a visionary Product Designer to join us and redefine paradigms of interaction in an industry that hasn’t seen major innovation in decades. 

The Regulatory Management Engineer will take ownership of securing and maintaining regulatory approvals for our expanding network of weather balloon launch sites worldwide. This is a critical role that ensures the smooth operation of our global operations while fostering strong relationships with regulatory authorities. In this role, you’ll combine your technical expertise with strategic thinking to secure and maintain regulatory approvals for our global network of launch sites. This position is perfect for a technically savvy professional—such as an engineer looking to expand into operational and regulatory leadership—who thrives on solving complex, interdisciplinary problems. You will be the bridge between WindBorne’s innovative technology and the regulatory frameworks that govern its deployment worldwide.

WindBorne is looking for a Web Handling/Film Converting Expert who knows exactly what those terms mean and why they matter. We need to scale our balloon manufacturing process to meet demand, and we believe your expertise in handling thin films at industrial scales is exactly what we need. If you've spent years wrestling with web tension control systems, designing nip rollers, or optimizing film handling processes, we want your expertise.
