Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs in San Francisco Bay Area, CA

Leads the Marketplace Software engineering team, owning the roadmap and execution for marketplace management tools, services, and products. Responsibilities include hiring, coaching, and developing engineers; guiding architecture and technical execution; building customer-facing marketplace software; partnering with Product and Operations; and improving scalability and marketplace health.

Own aircraft loads and dynamics analysis, define vehicle load requirements, perform structural and multibody simulations, evaluate strength and fatigue, and lead dynamic testing from preparation through model correlation. Collaborate across engineering disciplines to guide aircraft design and performance decisions. Develop analysis tools, processes, and standards while mentoring engineers. The role includes hands-on work in wind tunnels, vibration labs, flight tests, and field environments.

Own rotor and propeller loads development for autonomous aircraft, performing rotordynamics, structural, fatigue, finite element, and flight-test analyses. Define loads requirements, build models, lead design-test-analysis cycles, validate performance through testing, and collaborate across aerodynamics, structures, GNC, systems, and powertrain teams. The role also mentors engineers and develops standardized analysis tools and processes.

Work with Zipline’s autonomous delivery droid to analyze flight data, identify motion-planning failure modes, design validation experiments, apply statistics and machine learning, and develop evaluation tools that improve delivery reliability, safety, and performance. The intern will collaborate with perception, autonomy, and flight-testing teams while gaining experience deploying robotic autonomy systems in real-world operations.

Analyzes drone flight-test data, identifies anomalies and root causes, tracks performance trends, and supports regression analysis. Designs and evaluates software validation and flight-test campaigns, develops test infrastructure and instrumentation, maintains dashboards and SQL queries, and may support flight operations. Collaborates with controls, aerodynamics, structures, and systems engineering teams to validate autonomous aircraft and ensure system requirements are measurable and test-ready.

Design, optimize, and maintain commercial workflows supporting partner onboarding and ongoing operations. Map processes, identify bottlenecks, recommend improvements, collaborate with Product, Enterprise Systems, Customer Success, and Engineering, monitor performance metrics, and maintain workflow documentation and SOPs. This is a full-time, in-person internship requiring occasional travel to commercial test sites.

Lead Zipline’s global airspace integration policy and regulatory strategy for autonomous drone operations. Engage with the FAA, civil aviation authorities, air navigation providers, standards organizations, and industry groups on UAS, BVLOS, spectrum, UTM, detect-and-avoid, Remote ID, and ADS-B requirements. Translate regulatory developments into compliance, certification, deployment, and product roadmaps while advising leadership on risks, dependencies, market access, and long-term aviation policy.

Supports marketplace strategy and operations through site and cohort performance analysis, dashboards, recurring readouts, growth-program prioritization, and monitoring of capacity, fulfillment, utilization, customer experience, and profitability. Partners cross-functionally with Commercial, Operations, Marketing, Product, Finance, and Utilization to identify opportunities, test marketplace levers, measure outcomes, and scale successful programs across Zipline’s delivery network.

Own strategic enterprise accounts and drive complex sales from prospecting through contract execution and launch. Build executive relationships, develop business cases, manage multi-year negotiations, expand pilots into scaled deployments, and achieve revenue targets across healthcare, retail, logistics, food and beverage, and consumer services. Collaborate with Product, Engineering, Operations, Legal, Finance, Regulatory, Implementation, and Customer Success teams to deliver autonomous delivery solutions.

Build and own a scalable operational platform supporting site acquisition, permitting, construction, deployment tracking, and launch readiness. Design APIs, data models, workflows, integrations, and production services with strong auditability, observability, reliability, and recovery. Partner cross-functionally with operational teams, replace manual processes, ship measurable improvements, participate in on-call and incident response, and mentor engineers while remaining hands-on in software development.
