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

Zipline designs, manufactures, and operates autonomous delivery systems that depend on reliable, manufacturable electronics. Our boards need to work across a wide range of constraints: high-speed digital interfaces, low-speed control and sensing circuits, power distribution, mechanical packaging, thermal limits, regulatory requirements, supplier capability, and fast-moving engineering schedules.

As an Electrical PCB Layout Engineer, you will own PCB layout execution in Altium from schematic handoff through fabrication and assembly release. You will work closely with electrical engineers on design intent, mechanical engineers on board outline and packaging constraints, and manufacturing partners on producibility. This is a hands-on role for someone who can turn complex schematics into clean, robust, well-documented board designs.
