Life at Pelican Labs

Hardware for climate built by curious generalists.

Pelican Labs builds sensor arrays and edge firmware that help utilities and agriculture operators see water and soil conditions in real time—not slide decks about sustainability. We are 240 people across San Francisco and Reno with one factory line we actually tour for candidates.

What we optimize for

Pelican Labs hires people who want ownership without pretending a 40-person startup is a family. We publish leveling guides, equity refresh policies, and on-call rotations before you sign.

Shipped science

Field trials run every quarter. Engineers and PMs visit sites together so roadmaps reflect mud, not assumptions.

Benefits that match shifts

Factory and lab roles get the same parental leave and mental health coverage as corporate staff—no tiered handbook.

Remote-friendly teams

Half our software org is remote US with core hours 10:00–15:00 Pacific. Hardware roles are hybrid in Reno with relocation support.
