Meteorologists (Remote)

• Title: Meteorologists (Remote)
• Location : Remote
• Compensation: $45 – $55 per hour
• Engagement Type: Independent Contractor

We are hiring for one of our clients seeking experienced meteorologists to support the training of a large-scale physics-based AI system.

In this role, you will interpret High-Resolution Rapid Refresh (HRRR) model outputs and generate technically rigorous, structured natural-language explanations of observed atmospheric conditions.

This is a high-judgment expert position ideal for meteorologists comfortable diagnosing synoptic and mesoscale features directly from model fields.

Role Overview

You will analyze single-frame HRRR visualizations (four images per timestamp) and produce clear, technically accurate labels that explain:

• What atmospheric or weather phenomena are present
• Why those phenomena are occurring, based strictly on model-derived data

All analyses must rely solely on HRRR model outputs — no radar, satellite, or forecast discussion references.

Key Responsibilities

• Interpret HRRR outputs at a defined forecast time step
• Identify key synoptic and mesoscale features such as:
• Troughs and ridges
• Jet streaks
• Frontal boundaries
• Instability and convective signals
• Diagnose atmospheric dynamics including:
• Vorticity advection
• Vertical motion and lift mechanisms
• Moisture transport
• Upper-level divergence
• Produce clear, structured, and technically precise written explanations
• Ensure all interpretations are grounded strictly in model data

Required Qualifications

• Degree in Meteorology or Atmospheric Science
• OR
• 2+ years of operational forecasting experience
• Strong synoptic and mesoscale analysis skills
• Deep understanding of atmospheric dynamics and thermodynamics
• Ability to interpret 500 mb and upper-air charts confidently
• Clear, precise technical writing skills
• Ability to work independently in a remote setting

Evaluation Process

• Behavioral interview (forecast reasoning & decision-making)
• Technical assessment (500 mb chart interpretation)

Engagement Details

• Independent contractor engagement
• Fully remote with flexible scheduling
• Project duration may vary based on performance and business needs
• Weekly payments via supported payment platforms
• Work authorization requirements may apply depending on project scope
