Ground Systems Field Technician

Zipline’s ground systems enable autonomous operations at field sites.

As a Ground Systems Field Technician, you will install, commission, maintain, and document the electrical, network, and mechanical systems that keep those sites ready to operate safely. You will own the quality of hands-on site work from installation through maintenance.

Success means sites are commissioned to standard, issues are resolved and documented, and ground systems remain reliable for sustained autonomous operations.

Basic mechanical, residential/light-commercial electrical, network, and office-software knowledge, plus hands-on mechanical/electrical assembly, organization, and inventory-management skills.

Careful adherence to installation standards, manuals, and safety procedures for mechanical, electrical, and automation systems.

Preferred experience through either an electrical pathway—low-voltage/network systems—or a construction pathway—general construction, heavy steel, technical drawings, and material-handling equipment; OSHA 30 is a plus.

Install, configure, commission, and quality-check ground-system installations at new Zipline sites, including electrical and network systems.

Diagnose and resolve basic electrical, network, system, and site faults within the defined configuration scope; this role does not perform electrician-level tasks.

Perform maintenance and upgrades that improve ground-system uptime and reliability.

Partner with engineering and cross-functional teams to document, track, and resolve issues through company ticketing platforms.

Maintain accurate records of site surveys, installations, maintenance actions, and troubleshooting steps.

Manage accountability programs for tools, calibration equipment, and vehicles.
