Weekend Aviation Weather Observer information

What is the difference between Weekend Aviation Weather Observer vs Flight Operations Weather Specialist?

AspectWeekend Aviation Weather ObserverFlight Operations Weather Specialist
CredentialsTypically requires FAA weather observer certification or equivalentRequires FAA weather certification and additional flight operation knowledge
Work EnvironmentOutdoor, airport or airfield settings, part-time/weekend shiftsIndoor office, airline or airport operations, full-time
Industry UsagePrimarily in aviation, airports, and air traffic controlIn airline operations, flight planning, and safety departments

The Weekend Aviation Weather Observer focuses on monitoring and reporting weather conditions at airports during weekends, primarily outdoors. In contrast, the Flight Operations Weather Specialist handles weather analysis for flight planning and safety, often working indoors. Both roles require FAA weather certifications but differ in work environment and responsibilities.

Field Operational Meteorologist

Roadrunner Venture Studio

Albuquerque, NM • On-site

Full-time

Posted 24 days ago


Key responsibilities

  • Work directly with science and field teams to translate atmospheric conditions, forecasts, and real-time observations into operational decisions.

  • Produce daily and event-based weather forecasts, identify favorable and unfavorable operating windows, and provide live weather monitoring for field teams.

  • Help deploy, operate, troubleshoot, and interpret data from meteorological sensing systems during field deployments.


Job description

Field Operational Meteorologist

Roadrunner Venture Studios is the nation’s leading platform for founding breakthrough ventures in frontier technology. We partner with scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs to turn deep tech into real companies across energy, manufacturing, semiconductors, quantum computing, aerospace, advanced materials, AI, and high-performance computing.

Roadrunner Venture Studios is recruiting a Field Operational Meteorologist for one of our portfolio companies developing rainfall enhancement technology.

What you’ll do:

As a Field Operational Meteorologist based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, you’ll work directly with science and field teams to translate atmospheric conditions, forecasts, and real-time observations into operational decisions. This is a hands-on role for someone who is equally comfortable analyzing weather data and working in the field with meteorological sensing systems.

Before and during deployments, you’ll produce daily and event-based forecasts, identify favorable and unfavorable operating windows, and provide live weather monitoring for field teams. You’ll use numerical weather prediction models alongside radar, satellite, soundings, and data from field-deployed sensing systems.

You’ll help deploy, operate, and interpret data from Doppler LiDAR, weather radar, radiometers, radiosondes, disdrometers, ceilometers, surface weather stations, and other meteorological sensing systems. You’ll also help develop field observation protocols, troubleshoot instrumentation, and ensure high-quality data collection during deployments.

After deployments, you’ll analyze meteorological and sensor datasets, compare forecasts with observed atmospheric behavior, and use those findings to improve operational criteria and future deployments. You’ll work with numerical weather prediction models including WRF, CM1, MPAS, and related systems, and help develop forecasting tools, scripts, dashboards, and data workflows.

Preferred Qualifications:
  • Bachelor’s degree or higher in meteorology, atmospheric science, physics, environmental science, hydrology, or a related field.

  • Experience in operational or field meteorology, applied forecasting, atmospheric research, aviation weather, hydrology, or environmental monitoring.

  • Hands-on experience with meteorological field-sensing and remote-sensing systems such as Doppler LiDAR, weather radar, radiometers, radiosondes, disdrometers, ceilometers, and surface weather stations.

  • Experience deploying, operating, troubleshooting, or analyzing data from meteorological instrumentation in field environments.

  • Experience with numerical weather prediction models such as WRF, CM1, MPAS, or similar systems.

  • Familiarity with meteorological data formats such as NetCDF and GRIB and working knowledge of Python, GIS, or other data-analysis tools.

  • Experience with remote sensing, cloud microphysics, convective clouds, precipitation processes, or weather modification.

  • Experience with field campaigns and operations in the Southwest United States, particularly New Mexico.

  • Experience developing forecasting tools, scripts, dashboards, automated data pipelines, or other operational meteorology workflows.

  • Familiarity with command-line AI tools such as Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, OpenClaw, Hermes, or similar tools.

This role is based in Albuquerque, New Mexico and requires regular in-person work with the operations team, field teams, and deployment hardware. Travel to field deployment locations will be required.
