Do you want to change the world? Zipline is on a mission to transform the way goods move. Our aim is to solve the world’s most urgent and complex access challenges by building, manufacturing and operating the first instant delivery and logistics system that serves all humans equally, wherever they are. From powering Rwanda’s national blood delivery network and Ghana’s COVID-19 vaccine distribution, to providing on-demand home delivery for Walmart, to enabling healthcare providers to bring care directly to U.S. homes, we are transforming the way things move for businesses, governments and consumers. The technology is complex but the idea is simple: a teleportation service that delivers what you need, when you need it. Using robotics and autonomy, we are decarbonizing delivery, decreasing road congestion, and reducing fossil fuel consumption and air pollution, while providing equitable access to billions of people and building a more resilient global supply chain.

Join Zipline and help us to make good on our promise to build an equitable and more resilient global supply chain for billions of people.

About the Role

As a Quality Technician on our System End-of-Line (EOL) Test team, you’ll be part of the team owning the final validation of every Zipline vehicle—both our primary aircraft and delivery droid. You’ll execute end of line test cycles on complex, semi-automated stations, diagnose failures across hardware, software, and test fixtures, swap out nonconforming components, and drive initiatives to accelerate throughput without sacrificing accuracy. This is a hands-on role on the manufacturing floor, blending scripting, CLI troubleshooting, mechanical assembly, and deep electrical know-how to output a flight-ready fleet.

What You’ll Do

• Run full EOL test protocols on Zipline aircraft and delivery droids, following and refining procedures and scripts
• Troubleshoot test-station issues via command-line interfaces and custom Python scripts
• Diagnose failures originating from vehicle hardware, embedded software, or test-equipment faults
• Swap non-conforming parts on and off vehicles per documented procedures to restore conformity
• Perform mechanical assembly and reassembly of components, documenting every step and change
• Log detailed findings and test data in our quality-management system, ensuring clear traceability of every result
• Partner with EOL Test Engineering to debug root causes, implement corrective actions, and iterate test-station software
• Lead projects to reduce EOL cycle times: identify bottlenecks, prototype automation improvements, and measure impact
• Maintain, produce, and calibrate test-station hardware: power systems, sensors, actuators, and networked test rigs

What You’ll Bring

• 3+ years of hands-on experience in manufacturing test, quality engineering, or field service
• Strong electrical troubleshooting skills: power rails, sensors, wiring, network interfaces, and multimeter proficiency
• Solid mechanical assembly skills: able to disassemble, swap, and reassemble precision components per procedure
• Ability to interpret schematics, wiring diagrams, assembly guides, and software logs to isolate complex failures
• Excellent documentation habits: clear, concise test reports, assembly logs, and troubleshooting guides
• Persistence to run multi-hour, semi-automated test cycles and see ambiguous issues through to resolution
• Collaborative mindset: effective communicator who can interface with EOL engineers, Production, and Ops
• Continuous-improvement orientation: enthusiasm for reducing test time and raising test reliability
• Proficiency with agile software such as Jira and ERP systems such as ODOO desired
• Proficiency with Linux/macOS CLI, shell scripting, and Python for test-automation tasks desirable but not required

Other Requirements

• Ability to lift and move up to 30 lbs and stand for extended periods during inspection runs
• Willingness to wear necessary personal protective equipment (PPE) and adhere to clean‑room or lab protocols when required
• Flexibility to support multiple shift schedules or overtime during high‑volume production periods
