Telemetry Employment Opportunities
The field of telemetry has advanced in leaps and bounds over the past several years, as have opportunities for employment in the field.

In a very general sense, telemetry is a technology that allows for the remote manipulation and/or measurement of information. It is used to remotely collect or send data, especially in instances when it is not feasible for a human to be present to collect or monitor such data. Basic examples of telemetry include the sending and receiving of data to remote space stations or satellites, guided missile systems and heart monitoring devices.
For those seeking telemetry jobs, positions tend to be available with government agencies, healthcare institutions and private companies, and opportunities are frequently posted to technology-related job boards and and healthcare job boards. Among the many applications of telemetry are meteorology, space science (NASA frequently uses telemetry in space programs), defense, flight testing, agriculture, energy monitoring, water management and especially the medical field, to name just a few.
Climate Action Employment
While there has been an ongoing surge in the availability of green jobs even as the economy in general fails to produce adequate employment opportunities for the population as a whole, it is climate action jobs that seem to be receiving the most notice among those who wish to pursue environmental employment opportunities.
Climate action jobs tend to be with organizations and agencies that take a “top down” approach to improving the environment, so rather than focusing on important, localized issues like recycling drives, home improvements that lead to less energy consumption, etc., climate action positions will typically revolve around trying to change policies and legislation related to environmental issues.
Most notable among the issues that climate action professionals are attempting to address is global warming and the factors assumed to be contributors to the earth’s recognizable warming trend, including greenhouse gas emissions, automotive and other transportation emissions control, sustainable energy development, etc.
For those with experience in the field – and this can range from engineering expertise to a specialty in legislation and the law – there are still a wide array of employment opportunities, many of them with government agencies and non-profit organizations dedicated to climate action initiatives.
