Full job description
About Zipline
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.
About You and The Role
Please Note: The Zipline SkillBridge program provides transitioning service members the opportunity to gain work experience through an internship during their final 180 days of service. Zipline offers both structured instruction and on-the-job training through a 3-4 month internship.
This is not a general employment opportunity. This role is only open to active-duty U.S. military service members who have been approved (or are eligible for approval) to participate in the DoW SkillBridge program. Applications from candidates who are not SkillBridge-eligible cannot be considered.
As aQuality Inspector (SkillBridge trainee) at Zipline, you will be the first line of defense for the quality of all parts and components entering our manufacturing floor. You’ll run our receiving‑inspection test equipment, inspect hardware with our tooling set, and ensure every incoming batch meets our stringent quality standards. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys detailed hands-on work, takes pride in thorough, accurate documentation, and is excited to develop processes that will scale 100x as our production rates increase rapidly.
What You'll Do
Operate incoming‑material structural‑test equipment, running standardized load‑and‑stress protocols on received components
Conduct general part inspections (dimensional, visual, and functional) using our broad array of precision tools
Perform detailed inspections of many carbon fiber parts - identifying delaminations, voids, or dimensional deviations - and flagging discrepancies
Read and interpret engineering drawings and blueprints to extract inspection requirements and GD&T callouts
Define our inspection processes as we scale, including what to inspect, how, and selecting the appropriate measurement tool for each task
Accurately record inspection data in our quality‑management system, maintaining traceability of lot numbers and inspection outcomes
Identify nonconformances, apply hold tags, and collaborate with Quality Engineering and Suppliers on root‑cause analysis and corrective actions
Support continuous‑improvement initiatives: refine inspection plans, reduce cycle times, and standardize best practices
What You'll Bring
2+ years of hands‑on quality‑inspection experience in manufacturing, new product introduction, or a related field
Strong technical literacy: Proven ability to read and work from engineering drawings, schematics, and technical documents, including a solid understanding of GD&T concepts and symbols
Demonstrated skill selecting and using precision measurement tools
Experience collaborating with engineering to identify systemic quality issues and improve real-world hardware
Proficiency with quality documentation software such as 1Factory, task tracking software such as Jira, and general computer proficiency
Strong attention to detail and a disciplined, process‑driven mindset
Excellent communication, documentation, and organizational skills
Ambition to improve the quality function at Zipline by developing inspection plans, making strategic quality decisions, and supporting new‑build phases
Experience inspecting carbon‑fiber structures or composite materials strongly preferred
Basic Qualifications:
Ability to lift up to 20 lbs and perform hands-on work throughout the day
Comfort working with tools, chemicals, and hardware in a lab/manufacturing environment (including respirator use when required)
What Else You Need To Know
SkillBridge start dates are flexible. Housing is not provided.
