Do you want to change the world? Zipline is on a mission to transform the way goods move. Our aim is to solve the world’s most urgent and complex access challenges by building, manufacturing and operating the first instant delivery and logistics system that serves all humans equally, wherever they are. From powering Rwanda’s national blood delivery network and Ghana’s COVID-19 vaccine distribution, to providing on-demand home delivery for Walmart, to enabling healthcare providers to bring care directly to U.S. homes, we are transforming the way things move for businesses, governments and consumers. The technology is complex but the idea is simple: a teleportation service that delivers what you need, when you need it. Through our technology that includes robotics and autonomy, we are decarbonizing delivery, decreasing road congestion, and reducing fossil fuel consumption and air pollution, while providing equitable access to billions of people and building a more resilient global supply chain.
Join Zipline and help us to make good on our promise to build an equitable and more resilient global supply chain for billions of people.
The Avionics team is a multi-disciplinary hardware team responsible for designing robust electronics and avionics systems for our life-saving drone delivery service in some of the harshest environments on Earth. Zipline’s aircraft avionics must be successful in a wide range of challenging real-world climactic and EMI environments. Our team plays a vital role in system architecture - designing for performance and reliability, while minimizing mass and cost. A critical part of the team’s design responsibility is Zipline’s FAA-approved safety system to ensure the safety of employees, customers, and bystanders. Our sophisticated flight systems also require us to build custom solutions with high-performance embedded computing, high-speed communication buses interfacing to sensors, and tightly integrated radio systems.
As the Technical Program Manager for the Avionics team, you will be the focal point for coordinating resources across the autonomy, firmware, electrical, mechanical, and test engineering teams working on the Avionics systems. You will work within the team and across engineering to align priorities, coordinate timelines, and lead complex scope, resource, and schedule trades. For those that are deeply excited about leading with influence and representing a global mission, this is an incredible opportunity to leverage your skillset.
