Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
You will own the technical industrialization and ongoing supplier performance for electrical components, ensuring they transition from prototype to reliable volume production. This involves driving supplier selection, defining qualification criteria, and leading root-cause investigations to maintain flight readiness and field reliability.
The role requires a Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Manufacturing, or Mechanical Engineering with at least 5 years of experience in hands-on production environments. Candidates must have proven expertise in supplier industrialization for mission-critical hardware and be comfortable with frequent travel to supplier sites.
Zipline is the world’s largest and most experienced drone delivery service. We are on a mission to serve all humans equally by ensuring access to food, medicine and essential goods anytime, anywhere. We design, build, and operate the world’s largest autonomous logistics system, delivering critical supplies quickly and reliably. Today, Zipline operates on four continents, makes a delivery somewhere in the world every 30 seconds, and has completed millions of deliveries to date, including blood, vaccines, medical supplies, food, and retail products.
Our customers include the world’s largest and most prominent healthcare systems, governments, retailers, restaurants and global businesses who rely on us to save lives, reduce emissions, increase economic opportunity, and provide delivery from point A to point B as fast as possible. The drone is only 15% of what we’ve built to enable seamless, reliable, global operations.
Our system strengthens supply chains, reduces congestion, and gives people time back. With more than 140 million commercial autonomous miles safely flown, Zipline is redefining access to healthcare, consumer products, and food across the globe.
We operate at a global scale and are looking for practical problem solvers who thrive on real-world challenges and rapid growth. Our team is motivated by building systems that have a direct, meaningful impact on people’s lives and by scaling the future of logistics. We are seeking people who sculpt from first principles, enjoy facing adversity, and can do the impossible at record breaking speeds.
You will own technical industrialization and ongoing supplier performance for PCBAs, cable assemblies, wire harnesses, connectors, and related electrical components that go into Zipline’s Long Range Platform. This role sits at the intersection of Design Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, and Supply Chain to move electrical hardware from prototype to reliable, repeatable production for an autonomy-focused, aviation-grade product. Your work directly affects flight readiness, field reliability, and program schedules — failures at supplier handoffs create flight delays, grounding risk, and customer-impacting outages.

For government reporting purposes, we ask candidates to respond to the below self-identification survey. Completion of the form is entirely voluntary. Whatever your decision, it will not be considered in the hiring process or thereafter. Any information that you do provide will be recorded and maintained in a confidential file.
As set forth in Zipline ’s Equal Employment Opportunity policy, we do not discriminate on the basis of any protected group status under any applicable law.
