Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs

Own the electric propulsion modeling roadmap for motors, inverters, gearboxes, and propellers. Develop, validate, and deploy physics-based models across aircraft programs, lead propulsion trade studies, and design experimental characterization campaigns. Build reusable engineering software and improve model fidelity using laboratory and flight data. Translate propulsion, thermal, efficiency, acoustics, and reliability insights into aircraft and fleet-level decisions through cross-functional collaboration.

Own the system-level design of welded steel drone-delivery towers and subassemblies, including structural components, mechanisms, and electronics integration. Apply mechanical fundamentals, hand calculations, FEA, CAD, prototyping, and testing to develop reliable products. Collaborate with electrical, software, civil, NPI, and supply chain teams to transition designs into production and field deployment. Maintain BOMs, release parts, create build documentation, support contract manufacturers, and periodically visit customers and suppliers.

Lead Zipline’s industry standards strategy across aviation, autonomy, and commercial UAS delivery. Prioritize standards bodies and committees, represent the company in organizations such as ASTM and RTCA, convert operational and technical knowledge into standards proposals, govern company positions and IP risks, and translate regulatory developments into certification, market-entry, roadmap, and commercial decisions. Brief executives and build alignment with regulators, industry peers, certification organizations, and technical experts.

Lead end-to-end electrical subsystem design for Zipline's long-range drone platform: develop architecture, schematics, PCB layout, validation, and production. Drive trade studies, mitigate risk, and collaborate with firmware, mechanical, systems, manufacturing, and operations. Support field deployments and supplier/manufacturer visits.

Supports drone-delivery partners from launch through daily operations and performance reviews. Tracks metrics, analyzes partner performance, builds reports and dashboards, gathers feedback, coordinates issue resolution across internal teams, assists with partner meetings and business reviews, improves processes and tools, and contributes to growth and network-expansion projects. The role is on-site or hybrid in the Dallas area, requires frequent local travel, and includes occasional evening and weekend work.

Supports Zipline’s launch and site operations by organizing milestones, dependencies, risks, and readiness activities; analyzing operational data; preparing status materials; following up on blockers; and building dashboards, playbooks, checklists, or lightweight automations. The intern owns a scoped project from problem definition through pilot, measurement, and handoff, with occasional onsite launch support and travel.

Supports Zipline launch planning and site operations by organizing milestones, dependencies, risks, and decisions; analyzing operational data; preparing readiness materials; tracking blockers; and creating dashboards, playbooks, templates, checklists, or lightweight automations. The intern owns a scoped improvement project from definition through pilot and handoff, participates in selected onsite launch activities, and translates field observations into repeatable processes.

Support marketplace strategy and operations through site, cohort, and metro performance analysis. Build reports and dashboards, evaluate pricing, promotions, prioritization, budget allocation, and demand-shaping opportunities, monitor operational constraints, and provide performance readouts. Partner cross-functionally with Commercial, Operations, Marketing, Product, Finance, and Utilization teams to turn insights into actions, measure outcomes, and scale successful programs across Zipline’s delivery network.

Leads Zipline’s data operations and annotation organization, converting real-world data into high-quality datasets for machine learning and autonomy teams. Owns data collection, annotation, validation, quality control, operational strategy, metrics, automation, and cost optimization. Partners across ML, autonomy, engineering, and field operations to translate model needs into collection priorities and scalable workflows. Develops managers, drives cross-functional programs, and improves data quality, coverage, speed, reliability, and economics.

Design, build, and sustain electromechanical test equipment for batteries and power electronics. Deliver end-to-end test systems combining mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, controls, safety, and automation. Create CAD, schematics, wiring, automation scripts, and manufacturing documentation. Commission, validate, troubleshoot, and improve lab and production test fixtures while collaborating across mechanical, electrical, software, reliability, manufacturing, and field teams.
