Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs

Supports internal communications, employee experiences, events, onboarding, engagement initiatives, and workplace information systems. Responsibilities include drafting and designing content, organizing resources, coordinating events and programs, conducting research, gathering feedback, and managing projects across stakeholders. The intern will help develop scalable, polished Operations experiences while working with senior leaders and cross-functional partners in a fast-paced, fully onsite environment.

Own manufacturing finance reporting, forecasting, variance analysis, financial modeling, and decision support across costs, labor, inventory, cash, and operating expenses. Partner with manufacturing, supply chain, engineering, quality, operations, and accounting teams to improve cost visibility, unit economics, data quality, and scalable reporting processes. Analyze operational drivers such as yield, scrap, throughput, rework, labor efficiency, and material usage to support capacity planning, cost reduction, make-buy decisions, and manufacturing investments.

Lead Zipline’s Growth & Profitability program by integrating marketplace strategy, network optimization, product, sales, marketing, engineering, and operations. Define growth and profitability outcomes, resolve cross-functional dependencies, drive executive decisions, establish operating mechanisms, maintain program metrics and risks, and stay connected to metro teams, partners, and customers. The role focuses on improving customer adoption, partner outcomes, capacity utilization, service quality, unit economics, and margin across Zipline’s autonomous delivery network.

Own supplier industrialization for wire harness and FPC/FFC assemblies from advanced development through mass-production qualification. Provide design-for-manufacturing guidance, assess supplier readiness, audit manufacturing processes, verify capacity, resolve supplier-caused quality issues, lead corrective actions, and support manufacturing quotations. Partner with engineering teams and contract manufacturers to improve quality, cost, responsiveness, and process efficiency.

Designs, builds, commissions, and maintains electric-motor dynamometer systems for characterization, supplier inspection, and durability testing. Owns complete test-system lifecycles, including requirements, mechanical and electrical integration, controls, instrumentation, data acquisition, safety, automation, documentation, and operations. Develops standardized software workflows, motor test datasets, supplier-deployable inspection systems, and application-representative load profiles. Collaborates with motor design, reliability, power electronics, controls, manufacturing, and supplier-quality teams while providing technical guidance to engineers, technicians, and suppliers.

Develop and industrialize electric motor and stator winding processes from prototype through production. Design tooling, fixtures, gauges, and automated equipment; conduct experiments, process trials, validation, and root-cause investigations. Establish process specifications, capability studies, inspection methods, and manufacturing documentation. Collaborate with engineering, quality, operations, and suppliers on equipment development, factory acceptance testing, technology selection, production transfer, and ramp-up. The role requires substantial hands-on work in labs, prototype areas, and manufacturing environments.

Perception Interns will experiment with and evaluate machine learning solutions for onboard and offboard drone perception. They will train models using large real-world, simulated, and internet-scale datasets; write production code for model training, validation, and integration; research novel perception methods; optimize models for deployment; and collaborate with planning, navigation, mapping, and hardware teams.

Develop and own features for Zipline’s consumer mobile and web applications, using React Native, Python, and Go. Interns will collaborate cross-functionally on customer-focused features, contribute to technical roadmaps and engineering practices, and work across design, deployment, and iteration. This is a full-time, in-person internship in South San Francisco from January through April 2027.

Design and deploy perception algorithms for autonomous aircraft and obstacle detection, localization, and tracking. Build machine learning training pipelines, evaluation frameworks, debugging tools, and visualization systems. Collaborate with systems, flight-test, and validation teams to improve safety-critical detect-and-avoid capabilities. Apply deep learning, geometric computer vision, simulation, and real-world operational feedback to improve accuracy, latency, and robustness in complex environments.

Develop and test autonomous flight-control algorithms, simulations, analysis tools, and onboard integrity tests. Analyze flight data for regressions and improvements, assess vehicle performance and safety, and present results to engineering teams. The internship involves embedded software, technical computing, hardware interaction, and real-world aircraft systems at Zipline’s South San Francisco or Dallas offices.
