bwreilly | 7 years ago | on: A tiny Swiss company thinks it can help stop climate change
We can achieve ⅓ of the global emissions reductions called for in The Paris Agreement with ‘Natural Climate Solutions’ - replanting trees, rangelands, and fire response and restoration.
bwreilly | 7 years ago | on: A tiny Swiss company thinks it can help stop climate change
The article mentions the difficulty of scaling reforestation and afforestation. It is currently a fairly manual (and physically brutal) task which usually involves (energy intensive) greenhouses/nurseries.
That said, there are some groups that are working on addressing scaling reforestation right now (and we are hiring engineers).

It’s also worth mentioning that rangeland vegetation can have a critical role to play. It doesn’t seems as obvious/flashy, but they tend to have an enormous root structure and can prevent state changes (e.g., desertification).

DroneSeed | Seattle | Multiple Positions | Full-time | ONSITE, REMOTE
We at DroneSeed are working to address climate change by making reforestation scalable with drone swarms - surveying, planting trees, and spraying to protect them. We’re Techstars ‘16 alum, VC backed, and working with 3 of the 5 largest timber companies in the US.
We are looking for both hardware and software engineers that are deeply connected to our mission and capable of supporting our operations crews by designing, building, and maintaining state-of-the-art equipment, aircraft, and applications.
If you are someone with an engineering background and a bunch of hobby projects cluttering your home, drop us a line! We are especially interested in individuals with hands-on experience with unmanned aircraft, robotics, multi-agent path planning, remote sensing, and rapid prototyping.
But you don't necessarily need to be an expert in drones! We have are a ton of projects around asset management, project planning, distributed logs/metric collection/analysis, and human-centric design (the UX of the ground control software, for instance).
Our hiring process involves a short take-home work sample test, reviewing work you have done, and reviewing our stuff. We want creative, thoughtful, empathetic people with serious grit to join a team dedicated to inclusivity and an important mission.

We're trying to keep to the west coast of the US, mostly just to ease time differences. By the nature of the company we are remote-friendly in general (ask the folks planting in a post-burn site in rural Oregon last week, for example).
But for the right person(s) - mission driven and talented - constraints like that can ease.
That's for a more software-oriented person of course. Hardware engineers will need to be closer to the metal. Or rather carbon fibre.

We're in Ballard.
