Responsibilities
The Ground Systems team at Zipline is in charge of all the infrastructures on the ground supporting our autonomous delivery drones with docking, battery charging, thermal management, ground communication and preflight checks.
This role is central to enable our next generation of drone logistics, solving complex challenges in power distribution, power conversion, battery charging, high performance microprocessor, high-speed network communication and system-level integration.
Zipline is seeking an electrical engineering leader to manage a high performing team of electrical hardware design for the Ground Systems team.
This technical leader will guide and grow these teams as well as be able to own parts of the design directly as the team scales.
You and your teams will be responsible for architecting and developing custom Printed Circuit Board Assemblies (PCBAs), integrated sensing and RF solutions, and complex industrial systems for our new and existing ground systems hardware and validating the solutions for volume scale.
They are installed worldwide, and Zipline will depend on this team to develop novel solutions that enable unprecedented scale and efficiency.
