Do you want to change the world? Zipline is on a mission to transform the way goods move. Our aim is to solve the world's most urgent and complex access challenges by building, manufacturing and operating the first instant delivery and logistics system that serves all humans equally, wherever they are. From powering Rwanda's national blood delivery network and Ghana's COVID-19 vaccine distribution, to providing on-demand home delivery for Walmart, to enabling healthcare providers to bring care directly to U.S. homes, we are transforming the way things move for businesses, governments and consumers. The technology is complex but the idea is simple: a teleportation service that delivers what you need, when you need it. Through our technology that includes robotics and autonomy, we are decarbonizing delivery, decreasing road congestion, and reducing fossil fuel consumption and air pollution, while providing equitable access to billions of people and building a more resilient global supply chain. Join Zipline and help us to make good on our promise to build an equitable and more resilient global supply chain for billions of people. You will be responsible for managing the roadmap and execution of Zipline's Autonomy teams, leading the company to ship more impactful autonomy software, faster. This includes everything from the software that detects and avoids aircraft with acoustic sensors to the software that controls the delivery path. You'll work closely with software engineers, team leads and other TPMs across the company. You'll also work with flight test operations, our hardware programs, and regulatory teams as we push the bleeding edge forward. You'll speed up development by ensuring all pieces of our complex system are coming together on time and achieving our quality bar.
