Job description

About Perry Weather

Perry Weather is the weather safety standard for organizations that operate outdoors. We combine on-site weather hardware with a software platform that automates alerts, siren activations, and safety decisions for more than 3,000 organizations — from the PGA of America, the NFL, and MLB to Turner Construction, thousands of school districts, cities, and golf courses. We've grown 80%+ annually for five consecutive years, and are continuing to grow.

We're headquartered in Dallas at The Centrum, in the Oak Lawn neighborhood, where our teams work together every day to help organizations make faster and safer decisions when weather puts people, assets, and operations at risk.

About the Role

As a Manufacturing Technician, you will play an instrumental role in the continued growth and success of Perry Weather. You will be the first line of defense in our manufacturing process, ensuring that every product meets our high standards of quality and performance. In your day-to-day responsibilities, you will engage in a variety of tasks critical to our operations, including assembling our hardware products, conducting thorough quality control inspections, and preparing items for shipment.

We are the modern weather safety platform – software and hardware that work seamlessly together to protect thousands of people every day. We have two primary types of hardware:

• Outdoor Warning Systems are mounted to be visible and audible to the nearby area, with a strobe light and speakers for a siren and text-to-speech messaging.

• Weather Stations are typically mounted alongside our Outdoor Warning Systems and provide our customers with real-time, site‑specific weather conditions and camera imagery.

You don't need to know anything about the weather or our hardware to join our team as a Manufacturing Technician. We'll teach you everything you need to know!

The whole team is here Monday through Friday, which means real collaboration, no chasing people down over Slack, and a genuinely fun place to spend your work days.

• Your wellbeing is covered. Competitive health insurance, 401(k) with employer matching, and a full suite of voluntary benefits, because you shouldn't have to think twice about the basics.

• Good people, good times. Monthly All-Hands, Office Olympics, happy hours, and more. We take the work seriously and the culture seriously too.

• You're getting in early, and that matters. We're growing fast, but the biggest opportunities are still ahead. The people joining now will help shape what Perry Weather becomes.
