About this role (Direct Employer Details Protected)

About the role

ACME Corporation is seeking an exceptionally driven, endlessly resourceful, and moderately indestructible Senior Roadrunner Acquisition Specialist to lead our primary wildlife pursuit initiatives within the Desert Operations Division. Reporting directly to the Chief Executive Officer, you will take full ownership of experimental mechanical systems, kinetic deployments, and strategic planning targeting a notoriously elusive Greater Roadrunner (Geococcyx californianus). This is a full-time, permanent position operated under a remote work policy in the American Southwest (preferably near a suspiciously straight stretch of highway).

Key Responsibilities

  • Strategic Pursuit & Target Acquisition: Develop and execute multi-phase capture strategies based on detailed behavioral tracking, dietary preferences, and apparent immunity to standard physical laws.
  • Experimental Engineering & Prototyping: Design, fabricate, and field-test custom kinetic systems incorporating rocket propulsion arrays, spring-loaded platforms, oversized magnets, giant slingshots, and gravity-assisted acceleration.
  • Ambush Architecture: Design and deploy elaborate ambushes involving tunnels, cliffs, strategically placed birdseed, unattended boxes, and two-dimensional painted landscape illusions (trompe-l'œil).
  • Failure Analysis & Rapid Iteration: Perform blameless root-cause analyses following catastrophic failures (preferably after regaining consciousness) to document lessons learned and iterate on mechanical reliability.
  • Operational Safety & Risk Management: Manage the end-to-end deployment of industrial explosives, pyrotechnics, anvils, rolling boulders, and high-tensile adhesives.
  • Stakeholder Communication: Convey complex technical concepts through detailed diagrams, expressive facial gestures, and strategically positioned handwritten signs.

Required Qualifications

  • Technical Expertise: PhD-level understanding of mechanical engineering, physics, classical mechanics, or rocketry (demonstrated genius preferred over formal credentials).
  • Relevant Experience: 10+ years in pursuit operations, experimental systems engineering, or repeated unsuccessful attempts to achieve a clearly defined objective.
  • Durability & Resilience: Extraordinary physical durability, high tolerance for blunt-force trauma, and proven ability to remain motivated following hundreds of consecutive failures.
  • Communication: Strong written communication skills (verbal communication is considered unnecessary).

What ACME Offers

  • Unlimited R&D budget: Access to an extensive catalog of experimental equipment without procurement oversight.
  • Flexible working hours: Pursue your target whenever inspiration strikes or the Roadrunner appears.
  • Antifragile culture: High autonomy, no micromanagement, unlimited recovery time, and generous performance bonuses upon successful acquisition.
