From custom circuit board design, EOL tester development, and sensor integration to real-time flight control and communication systems, the team ensures our platforms operate safely and effectively in some of the most challenging environments in the world. The team works cross-functionally with mechanical, test, embedded, software, and systems engineering teams to create scalable, high-performance products that power life-saving missions every day.\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;The Role\u0026lt;/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Leading the way in drone delivery often means exceeding the capabilities of what\u0026#39;s available off the shelf, and as a result we are engineering the majority of our system in-house. Doubling down on the reliability of our systems is critical to delivering to our next billion customers--people whose lives will be meaningfully affected by smarter, more equitable access. We are deliberately expanding our electrical design and test capabilities and adding to the ranks of our experienced team to achieve these goals.\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;We need dedicated engineers to burn down risk and improve reliability in our system like their life depends on it, because others\u0026#39; lives do. Electronics are where software meets the physical world, and so our electrical engineering team has a wide array of engineering skills and works with a variety of different teams. We need people who are comfortable working in different domains, thrive when working on a problem as part of a small group, and are able to communicate technical concepts clearly to a wide variety of stakeholders--software and mechanical engineers, hardware test and manufacturing, and operations and field support, to name a few. Our small team can get a lot done because our team members are strong individual contributors with a good grasp of electrical engineering fundamentals and the ability to define requirements for their systems, rapidly develop creative and simple solutions, and prove with testing that their work meets the rigors and edge-cases of real-world deployment.\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;What You\u0026#39;ll Do\u0026lt;/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;You\u0026#39;ll have your own projects but we haven\u0026#39;t been saving an \u0026quot;intern project\u0026quot; - you\u0026#39;ll be a full member of our team, and like with our other engineers, we\u0026#39;ll work with you to find projects that align with your goals and interests and the team\u0026#39;s and company\u0026#39;s priorities.\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Examples of previous projects for interns include:\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;ul\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;li\u0026gt;Prototyping new versions of our battery charging electronics to meet harsher environmental requirements in new countries where we\u0026#39;re launching our service\u0026lt;/li\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;li\u0026gt;Architecting ground support electronics to assist the air vehicle with take-off and landing\u0026lt;/li\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;li\u0026gt;Developing and deploying test equipment such as EOL’s for design validation and production\u0026lt;/li\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;li\u0026gt;Supporting design validation campaigns to ensure that our avionics products meet design and reliability requirements\u0026lt;/li\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;li\u0026gt;Root cause investigation for our products from test, flight, or field issues.\u0026lt;/li\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;/ul\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;What You\u0026#39;ll Bring\u0026lt;/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;ul\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;li\u0026gt;Must have at least completed the second year of your Undergraduate studies.

From custom circuit board design, EOL tester development, and sensor integration to real-time flight control and communication systems, the team ensures our platforms operate safely and effectively in some of the most challenging environments in the world. The team works cross-functionally with mechanical, test, embedded, software, and systems engineering teams to create scalable, high-performance products that power life-saving missions every day.\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;The Role\u0026lt;/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Leading the way in drone delivery often means exceeding the capabilities of what\u0026#39;s available off the shelf, and as a result we are engineering the majority of our system in-house. Doubling down on the reliability of our systems is critical to delivering to our next billion customers--people whose lives will be meaningfully affected by smarter, more equitable access. We are deliberately expanding our electrical design and test capabilities and adding to the ranks of our experienced team to achieve these goals.\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;We need dedicated engineers to burn down risk and improve reliability in our system like their life depends on it, because others\u0026#39; lives do. Electronics are where software meets the physical world, and so our electrical engineering team has a wide array of engineering skills and works with a variety of different teams. We need people who are comfortable working in different domains, thrive when working on a problem as part of a small group, and are able to communicate technical concepts clearly to a wide variety of stakeholders--software and mechanical engineers, hardware test and manufacturing, and operations and field support, to name a few. Our small team can get a lot done because our team members are strong individual contributors with a good grasp of electrical engineering fundamentals and the ability to define requirements for their systems, rapidly develop creative and simple solutions, and prove with testing that their work meets the rigors and edge-cases of real-world deployment.\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;What You\u0026#39;ll Do\u0026lt;/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;You\u0026#39;ll have your own projects but we haven\u0026#39;t been saving an \u0026quot;intern project\u0026quot; - you\u0026#39;ll be a full member of our team, and like with our other engineers, we\u0026#39;ll work with you to find projects that align with your goals and interests and the team\u0026#39;s and company\u0026#39;s priorities.\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Examples of previous projects for interns include:\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;ul\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;li\u0026gt;Prototyping new versions of our battery charging electronics to meet harsher environmental requirements in new countries where we\u0026#39;re launching our service\u0026lt;/li\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;li\u0026gt;Architecting ground support electronics to assist the air vehicle with take-off and landing\u0026lt;/li\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;li\u0026gt;Developing and deploying test equipment such as EOL’s for design validation and production\u0026lt;/li\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;li\u0026gt;Supporting design validation campaigns to ensure that our avionics products meet design and reliability requirements\u0026lt;/li\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;li\u0026gt;Root cause investigation for our products from test, flight, or field issues.\u0026lt;/li\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;/ul\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;What You\u0026#39;ll Bring\u0026lt;/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;ul\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;li\u0026gt;Must have at least completed the second year of your Undergraduate studies.

You will determine what failed, how it failed, why it failed, and what physical evidence supports that conclusion. Your work will directly influence product reliability, fleet health, design decisions, supplier controls, qualification testing, manufacturing processes, and future product architecture. You will work between Failure Analysis and Material Science\u0026amp;nbsp; to investigate consequential hardware failures, preserve and interpret physical evidence, recognize recurring mechanisms across programs, and ensure that lessons learned from failures do not remain isolated within individual teams.\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;This role works across engineering and operations.

You know the right tool for the job. You enjoy moving between the lab floor and an engineering review, and you can explain a complicated failure mechanism in a way that everyone understands. On any given day you could be examining a fracture surface under a SEM, cross-sectioning a component to find a crack origin, reviewing CT data before teardown, identifying contaminants, coordinating

Half a million households In 2026 we\u0026#39;re scaling hard: new US metros, thousands of new vehicles in production, and a rapidly growing customer base ordering from us multiple times a day.\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Join Zipline and help us make good on our promise to build an equitable and more resilient global supply chain for billions of people.\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;h3\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;About You and the Role\u0026lt;/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;/h3\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;The droid is the delivery container at the heart of our delivery system. It is the part that detaches from the aircraft, descends 300 feet on a tether, and places your order on a driveway. It is also the part of Zipline that our customers actually see and interact most closely with, which makes it one of the most demanding products we build. Every droid has to be beautiful, cheap, quiet, weatherproof, safe, and reliable for tens of thousands of flights.\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;We\u0026#39;re designing EV3, the next generation of the droid. Between now and full-rate production, dozens of subsystems will go from concept to CAD to prototype to qualification to tooling to first article to production line. Every one of them has to be pushed through that funnel by someone who cares enough to make it happen, and who understands what \u0026quot;done\u0026quot; looks like at each phase.\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;That\u0026#39;s what this role is. You\u0026#39;ll take subsystems from various stages of completion (some at the concept stage and some almost ready to be DFM’d), and you\u0026#39;ll drive them the rest of the way - through DVT, PVT, tooling release, first-article inspection, working with our manufacturing team to facilitate line bring-up, and the ramp itself. Along the way you\u0026#39;ll own the test campaigns that qualify those subsystems, working with our SIE team to establish production and NPI lines at our contract manufacturers, and to manage the Jira queue, the ECOs, the supplier communication, and the schedule alongside our TPMs.\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;We\u0026#39;re not looking for the next zero-to-one mechanical designer for this role. We\u0026#39;re looking for someone who takes a design and runs with it. Someone who shoulders execution burden willingly, who is happiest when a hundred loose ends need to be tied off, and who has the judgment to know when to push a design forward and when to send it back to the drawing board.\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;You\u0026#39;ll join a small, deeply cross-disciplinary hardware team building EV3 Droid end-to-end.\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;h3\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;What You\u0026#39;ll Do\u0026lt;/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;/h3\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;ul\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;li\u0026gt;Take droid subsystems from the design phase through DVT, PVT, tooling release, first-article, and full-rate production, owning the execution end-to-end.\u0026lt;/li\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;li\u0026gt;Own test campaigns for the subsystems you drive.
