About

We believe in a more responsible way of flying. At Estuaire, our mission is to empower aerospace companies to reduce their climate impact.

We collaborate with stakeholders across the aviation industry — including airlines, airports, lessors, and financiers — to address aviation’s role in climate change, which has contributed approximately 4% to anthropogenic global warming. With expertise in non-CO2 emissions and a strong focus on contrail mitigation, we are dedicated to making aviation more sustainable.

Joining Estuaire means stepping into a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment where you’ll work closely with clients to drive impactful initiatives. If you are motivated to make a real difference and thrive in an early-stage company where much remains to be built, we’d love to hear from you.

Job Description

You will be part of the technical team within Estuaire and work closely with our collaborators in charge of technology. This Data Scientist role will cover the following responsibilities:

  • Data Science & Data Engineering - embed our climate expertise into killer products

    • Enhance our data platform by building scalable ETL pipelines and integrating new aviation and climate data sources.
    • Develop and deploy advanced algorithms to analyze & reduce emissions, contrails, and climate impacts using AI, optimization, and high-performance computing.
    • Deliver climate intelligence through APIs, automated data pipelines, and client reports, ensuring access to insights for customers.

  • Aviation Climate Science - bring Estuaire’s expertise through the roof

    • Together with our academic & industrial partners, build & deploy state of the art climate models for aviation based on scientific research
    • Develop the company expertise on the non-CO2 effects of aviation such as contrails, leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI), Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) & aircraft performance modeling

Preferred Experience

We are looking for the following qualifications but do not worry if not matching all of them :
