Hardware/ Software Engineer
Climate Clock is an innovative cross section of art, science, activism and tech. Using bespoke electronics, we’ve made the existential threat of climate crisis fit artfully into the halls of power and in the streets of grassroots power, to carry a message of climate urgency everywhere.
Problem-solving for tough real-world applications has allowed us to install clocks on massive building façades; in the hands of front line activists defending forests and homes amidst wind, rain and heat; on top of cars driving on highways and city streets.
Our clocks have made it all over the world to every continent in museums and legislative buildings! There’s a 6-foot clock in the Pennsylvania state house in Harrisburg in the US.
BUT there are always more feats of engineering to solve so we can install climate clocks everywhere they are needed!
You’ll be part of: A global effort to ensure that “the most important number in the world” is at the forefront of climate decision-making, from the grassroots to those in positions of power.
