Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs

Lead structural analysis and own the Global Finite Element Model (GFEM). Produce rapid hand calculations and lightweight FEMs, perform static/dynamic/stability and damage-tolerance analyses, support certification and testing, define instrumentation and correlate tests, lead failure investigations and corrective actions, mentor contributors, and support flight-test and field remediation to improve fleet reliability, mass, and cost-per-delivery metrics.

Own design, implementation, validation, and lifecycle of embedded middleware services for autonomous aircraft. Build and maintain IPC, OTA, logging, observability, and service-lifecycle interfaces on embedded Linux. Deliver production Rust/C++ code, lead cross-service architecture, debug across software/hardware boundaries, and establish safe, diagnosable engineering practices.

Own electrical subsystem design for Zipline's long-range fixed-wing drone from requirements through production and field support. Responsibilities include architecture, schematic capture, PCB layout, validation, trade studies, manufacturing readiness, certification support, and cross-functional collaboration. Develop hardware in areas like microprocessors, high-speed communications, GNSS, BLDC motor drives, power/battery/BMS, and support field troubleshooting and supplier/manufacturer visits.

Own supplier industrialization and performance for PCBAs, cable assemblies, wire harnesses, and connectors for the Long Range Platform. Define and enforce qualification, inspection, control plans, and manufacturing/test processes. Lead supplier selection, audits, root-cause investigations (8D, PFMEA, SPC), and corrective actions. Partner with Design Engineering on DFM/DFT, manage multiple supplier projects, and perform onsite onboarding, qualification builds, failure investigations, and continuous improvement to achieve flight-ready, reliable production.

Lead design, delivery, and sustainment of production testers and calibration stations for aircraft, dock, pod, and subassemblies. Architect electrical/functional testers, implement test automation and data pipelines, define acceptance criteria, debug PCBA-level failures on the floor, and drive measurable improvements in yield, false-fail rate, cycle time, and tester utilization while coordinating cross-functional launches and vendor qualifications.

Own end-to-end site acquisition for network expansion: source and qualify sites, negotiate LOIs through definitive agreements, manage diligence and contracting velocity, maintain CRM pipeline and forecasts, improve playbooks, and build post-signature site-host relationships. Requires high outreach volume, cross-functional coordination, and travel up to 20%.

Lead global commodity strategy and end-to-end supplier management for critical categories. Execute RFQs/RFPs, negotiate multi-national contracts, manage supplier performance (QBRs, scorecards), mitigate supply risks, and drive sourcing initiatives (dual-sourcing, localization, vertical integration) to support manufacturing ramps and long-term scalability. Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, manufacturing, and leadership to align sourcing with technology and production goals.

Lead end-to-end site acquisition for network expansion: source, qualify, negotiate, contract, and hand off buildable sites. Maintain high-volume outreach and pipeline, drive diligence (zoning, utilities, title), manage contracting workflows with Legal, keep CRM and forecasts current, and build durable site-host relationships to ensure fast, high-quality site delivery.

Lead and grow the Marketplace engineering organization building consumer and partner-facing marketplace products, integrations, pricing and fulfillment tools. Set technical and product strategy, drive architecture and platform decisions, manage technical debt, partner with product, and create operating rhythms to scale a high-velocity engineering organization.

Investigate and reproduce electrical and mechanical failures on flex circuits, PCBAs, connectors, and assemblies. Troubleshoot with lab equipment, analyze telemetry and test data, perform physical inspections (microscopy, X-ray), run experiments, determine root causes, recommend and verify corrective actions, and document findings in clear reports while partnering with cross-functional teams.
