Designs and deploys production equipment, fixtures, tooling, workstations, and end-of-line test systems for aircraft and safety-critical subsystems. Owns projects from requirements and CAD through vendor fabrication, commissioning, testing, and production release. Leads debugging, root-cause analysis, acceptance testing, and process improvements affecting cycle time, uptime, yield, and safety. Coordinates with engineering, quality, supply chain, and field teams, with regular onsite work and up to 15% travel.

Own software and automated test systems for aircraft, docks, delivery pods, and subassemblies. Develop test automation, data pipelines, instrumentation interfaces, MES integration, production dashboards, and tester validation. Troubleshoot factory-floor hardware and software issues, define test criteria, coordinate vendor builds, and improve yield, false-fail rates, cycle time, uptime, and traceability across high-throughput manufacturing operations.

Owns the end-to-end development, validation, deployment, and sustainment of electrical, functional, and automated production test systems for aircraft and logistics hardware. Responsibilities include integrating instrumentation and fixtures, developing Python or LabVIEW automation, debugging factory-floor issues, integrating manufacturing data systems, improving yield and cycle time, coordinating vendors and cross-functional launches, and maintaining calibration, validation, and traceability documentation.

Owns end-to-end production test systems for aircraft, delivery pods, docks, and subassemblies. Builds electrical and functional testers, automates test execution, integrates MES and production data pipelines, defines validation criteria, troubleshoots factory-floor issues, and improves yield, cycle time, uptime, and false-fail rates. Coordinates vendors, qualifications, calibration, training, release, and sustainment while ensuring safety, traceability, and reliable high-throughput manufacturing.

Lead manufacturing engineering for Zipline’s electro-mechanical aircraft, dock, and logistics hardware assembly lines. Own process definition, tooling, pilot builds, validation, production release, and sustainment. Coordinate with design, quality, supply chain, maintenance, and operations teams while improving yield, throughput, takt time, reliability, and cost. Develop PFMEAs, control plans, SOPs, work instructions, and training. Investigate production issues, implement corrective actions, and scale manufacturing from tens to thousands of units weekly.

Leads the design, delivery, commissioning, and continuous improvement of mechanical production equipment and tooling for autonomous aircraft and electromechanical systems. Responsibilities include CAD, drawings, fixtures, automation, vendor oversight, debugging, acceptance testing, design standards, and cross-functional coordination. The role mentors engineers and technicians, improves throughput, uptime, cycle time, yield, and safety, and requires substantial on-site factory-floor work with occasional off-hours commissioning and travel.

Designs, deploys, commissions, and sustains production equipment, fixtures, tooling, workstations, and automated test rigs for aircraft, batteries, docks, and electro-mechanical subsystems. Responsibilities include CAD and detailed drawings, GD&T, tolerance analysis, vendor management, fabrication oversight, factory-floor debugging, acceptance testing, operator training, and improving cycle time, uptime, and first-pass yield. The role requires close collaboration across engineering, quality, supply chain, test, and field operations, with regular on-site work and occasional travel.
