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.

Own the structure, standards, permissions, and daily operation of Zipline's managed Altium component library.
Create, review, and release production-quality schematic symbols, PCB footprints, pad stacks, simulation models, and 3D component models.
Audit and clean up existing library data, resolving duplicates, obsolete records, missing models, inconsistent parameters, and conflicting part numbers without breaking released-design traceability.
Own the new-part request process from intake through review, internal part-number assignment, library creation, approval, release, and downstream synchronization.
Build scripts, queries, dashboards, APIs, or validation checks for library cleanup, duplicate detection, metadata quality, BOM comparison, lifecycle updates, and PLM or ERP synchronization.
Train and support engineers and PCB designers on component selection, part requests, EBOM creation, lifecycle usage, and release expectations.
Ability to audit and migrate large component libraries while preserving revision history and released-design traceability.
We design, build, and operate the world's largest autonomous logistics system, delivering critical supplies quickly and reliably.

Define practical standards for component templates, required parameters, naming, descriptions, revision schemes, lifecycle states, and review criteria.
Strong understanding of electronic components, package drawings, manufacturer datasheets, pinouts, land patterns, assembly constraints, and PCB fabrication and assembly processes.
Experience with component templates, naming conventions, parameter schemas, revision control, lifecycle states, permissions, and part-request workflows.
Experience with EBOMs, item masters, internal and manufacturer part numbers, AML or AVL data, approved alternates, effectivity, and engineering change control.
Strong communication and service instincts: you can protect data quality without becoming a bottleneck to engineering execution.

Experience with PLM or ERP systems such as Teamcenter or similar platforms.
Familiarity with RoHS, REACH, conflict minerals, export control, counterfeit prevention, or other component-compliance data.
Experience establishing preferred-part programs, component-engineering councils, automated library validation, or cross-company part-number governance.
What Success Looks Like
Engineers can quickly find and reuse approved components instead of creating unnecessary duplicates.
Released EBOMs map cleanly to controlled part records, manufacturer data, revisions, lifecycle states, and ownership.
Altium, PLM, ERP, procurement, manufacturing, and service records agree on release-critical part and BOM attributes.
New-part requests move through a clear, visible process with agreed service levels.

We are on a mission to serve all humans equally by ensuring access to food, medicine and essential goods anytime, anywhere.
