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 builds autonomous delivery aircraft and ground systems that operate daily in varied field conditions. Reliable products depend on exceptional hands-on execution. As an Engineering Technician, you will partner closely with design and test engineers to build, operate, troubleshoot, and improve the hardware and test systems that enable the development, validation, and production of our battery and power electronics products. The Battery & Power Electronics team is responsible for delivering power throughout the aircraft—including batteries, power distribution systems, busbars, and power connectors. You will support product development by assembling prototypes, fabricating test fixtures, operating laboratory equipment, executing engineering validation, and driving continuous improvements that increase engineering quality and development speed. This role is open to technicians at all levels. Responsibilities, technical scope, and ownership grow with experience—from supporting prototype builds and laboratory operations to independently owning complex hardware builds, laboratory systems, validation activities, and continuous improvement initiatives. What You'll Do Support engineering programs from prototype build → test setup → execution → troubleshooting → continuous improvement . Prototype Development Build, assemble, modify, and maintain engineering prototypes, battery systems, power electronics assemblies, wiring harnesses, and electromechanical hardware. Assemble and commission custom test equipment, fixtures, instrumentation, and laboratory infrastructure using engineering drawings, electrical schematics, and work instructions. Perform wiring, soldering, crimping, cable fabrication, connector assembly, and mechanical assembly using high-quality engineering and manufacturing practices. Fabricate and modify test fixtures, mechanical components, wiring harnesses, and laboratory tooling using standard shop equipment and rapid prototyping methods. Support engineering changes, prototype iterations, and hardware bring-up throughout the product development lifecycle. Validation & Laboratory Operations Set up, operate, and maintain laboratory equipment including power supplies, electronic loads, battery cyclers, oscilloscopes, DAQ systems, environmental chambers, vibration equipment, and thermal instrumentation. Execute engineering validation activities including battery characterization, environmental, vibration, thermal, fatigue, abuse, electrical performance, and reliability testing. Collect, document, and organize engineering data while ensuring repeatability, traceability, and measurement quality. Maintain laboratory organization, calibration records, tooling, consumables, and equipment to ensure safe, reliable, and efficient engineering operations. Support commissioning of new laboratory equipment and validation infrastructure. Troubleshooting & Continuous Improvement Troubleshoot prototype hardware, laboratory equipment, and test systems, partnering with engineers to identify root causes and implement corrective actions. Identify and implement improvements to laboratory workflows, assembly methods, fixture designs, tooling, and test efficiency. Develop and improve work instructions, assembly documentation, laboratory procedures, and standard operating practices. Partner closely with Mechanical, Electrical, Test, Manufacturing, Reliability, and Systems Engineers to rapidly iterate hardware and improve engineering execution. As experience grows, independently own prototype builds, laboratory equipment, validation activities, and portions of engineering programs while mentoring teammates and driving improvements to laboratory capability and engineering processes. What You'll Bring Experience building, assembling, troubleshooting, or supporting electromechanical systems appropriate to your career level. Strong mechanical aptitude with experience using hand tools, precision measurement equipment, and fabrication equipment. Experience reading mechanical drawings, electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, assembly documentation, and engineering work instructions. Experience with wiring harness fabrication, crimping, soldering, cable routing, connector assembly, and electrical integration. Familiarity with laboratory instrumentation including oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies, DAQ systems, battery cyclers, environmental chambers, and vibration equipment. Experience supporting engineering validation, prototype development, manufacturing, or production testing is preferred. Strong troubleshooting skills with the ability to independently diagnose and resolve mechanical and electrical issues. Excellent organizational skills, attention to detail, and commitment to safe laboratory practices. Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with multidisciplinary engineering teams.

Select... Race & Ethnicity Definitions If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows: A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability. A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service. An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense. An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985. Veteran Status Select... Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability Form CC-305 Page 1 of 1 OMB Control Number 1250-0005 Expires 04/30/2026 Why are you being asked to complete this form? We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years. Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor's Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp . How do you know if you have a disability? A disability is a condition that substantially limits one or more of your "major life activities." If you have or have ever had such a condition, you are a person with a disability.
