About the role

  • About Zipline Zipline is the world's largest and most experienced drone delivery service.
  • Today, Zipline operates on four continents, makes a delivery somewhere in the world every 30 seconds, and has completed millions of deliveries to date, including blood, vaccines, medical supplies, food, and retail products.
  • The drone is only 15% of what we've built to enable seamless, reliable, global operations.

Responsibilities

  • Own end-to-end daily flight test campaign execution
  • Validate functionality through repeatable ground and flight test procedures
  • Enforce and improve site safety: manage risks for prototype flights, run briefings and debriefs, and refine SOPs to reduce repeat failures.
  • Ownership and communication: Proven ability to own test campaigns end-to-end, make safety-forward go/no‑go decisions, document results clearly, and coordinate across engineering, safety, and manufacturing to drive closure.
  • We design, build, and operate the world's largest autonomous logistics system, delivering critical supplies quickly and reliably.

Requirements

  • FAA Part 107 certification (required at time of joining)
  • Nice-to-have: Linux command-line comfort, rapid-prototyping skills (3D printing, basic machining), and experience with automated flight systems.
  • Expect to work weekends and night shifts, and occasional regional travel between test sites when required.
  • If you like the sound of this position but are not sure if you are the perfect fit, please apply!

Benefits

  • SkillBridge start dates are flexible.
