Requirements

Zipline operates and maintains autonomous aircraft systems that enable reliable instant deliveries to customers.

As an Aviation Maintenance Technician, you will keep aircraft and associated systems maintained, documented, and ready for safe operation.

You will own scheduled and unscheduled maintenance within approved procedures, resolving routine issues and escalating conditions outside manuals or certification limits to engineering and flight operations.

Strong performance means accurate maintenance, complete records, and timely handoffs that support aircraft availability, airworthiness, and reliable service.

Foundational engineering knowledge across mechanical, electrical, and software systems, including the ability to isolate faults using procedures and technical documentation.

Experience with mechanical and electrical integration, assembly, precision work, and hand tools.

Responsibilities

Troubleshoot mechanical, electrical, and software-related aircraft-system faults using manufacturer manuals and approved maintenance procedures.

Repair or replace aircraft-system components and verify work meets approved procedures before returning equipment to service.

Travel within the service area to perform on-site maintenance of Zipline aircraft systems.

Maintain complete, accurate records for scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, repairs, component replacements, and discrepancies.

Resolve maintenance issues within approved procedures; escalate non-routine conditions or issues outside certification limits to engineering and flight operations.

Communicate maintenance status and unresolved aircraft conditions to flight operations and engineering for clear operational handoffs.
