Join EOL

We are always looking for new team members!

Be part of a team that collaborates closely with scientists to bring projects from concept to completion.  This entails everything from initial system design and hardware or software development to the global deployment of equipment, whether it is a network of ground-based measurement systems to instruments aboard research aircraft.  Our mission is clear: to enable science to better serve society!  

At our core, we are driven by passionate and talented staff who thrive in a fast-paced, technology driven environment rooted in innovation and cooperation.  We are proud leaders in designing, developing and deploying meteorological research platforms and cutting-edge instrumentation.  Our work culture revolves around supporting atmospheric field research projects worldwide, spanning from the icy expanses of Antarctica to altitudes of 45,000 ft over the Pacific Ocean.  

Here, create ideas are not just welcomed, they are encouraged and embraced as we continually push the boundaries of advanced instrumentation for the science community.  Located in the beautiful and sun-soaked city of Boulder, Colorado, our laboratory provides an exceptional setting for meaningful work and a fulfilling career.

Leading cutting-edge meteorological research technology

Work with a broad range of engineers and scientists to develop unique and cutting-edge instruments to support a better understanding of our atmospheric environment. We develop instruments requiring expertise in software, electrical, mechanical, optical, and aeronautical engineering.

Where science and engineering meet

EOL depends on active collaboration between engineers and scientists, and encourages cross-training between the various disciplines, fostering a positive environment for career and knowledge growth.

Don't just think outside the box...Be outside the box

We challenge ourselves to ensure that scientists collect the measurements they need, no matter the location or the scale. We work on the front lines of observational science, relying on teamwork and dedication to make the measurements that need to be made in the study of our Earth environment.
