About AIRMO
AIRMO is a European climate-tech company using space and airborne technologies to monitor greenhouse gas emissions globally. Our instruments — combining LiDAR and hyperspectral imaging — detect and quantify methane and CO₂ emissions from industrial sites, pipelines, and national infrastructure.
We’re building a global monitoring system from ground to space, helping energy companies, governments, and investors take real action on climate impact.
The Role
As an atmospheric scientist, you will have the opportunity to join us in our mission of providing the most precise data regarding emissions measurement. We are searching for someone with the expertise and ambition to interpret atmospheric satellite data, develop and improve atmospheric models and retrieval algorithms, and to push AIRMO towards our goal.
We are looking for an ambitious, highly motivated, and result driven scientist with a PhD in atmospheric sciences physics or a similar degree, experience in the interpretation of atmospheric (e.g. satellite, aircraft, …) observations using transport models, and good data analytics and computer programming skills. Experience with flux inversions is considered an asset.
Responsibilities:
- Analyse satellite data to identify climate trends and anomalies. This includes collecting and processing data from various remote sensing platforms
- Develop algorithms and models to better understand and predict weather and climate events. This includes understanding the physics and dynamics of various processes such as cloud formation, air-sea interactions, and land-atmosphere feedbacks
- Developing methods and algorithms to analyse satellite data to monitor climate change and identify sources of greenhouse gas emissions
- Work hand in hand with our CEO and CTO to define the emission monitoring service
- Coordinate and accelerate the development of important payload functions
Requirements:
- Degree in Physics or similar
- 3 - 5 years of relevant engineering experience
- Strong fundamental understanding of atmospheric modelling
- Fluency in spoken and written English
- Enthusiasm to learn about the NewSpace or Climate tech
What We Offer
- A chance to shape how climate and space technology is communicated globally
- Direct exposure to founders, investors, and international customers
- Flexible working hours and hybrid setup
- A mission-driven, curious, and slightly space-obsessed team
- Employee VSOP program, and other benefits
