San Francisco, California, United States ZipLine Full time
About Zipline

Zipline is revolutionizing the way goods move, aiming to solve complex access challenges by building an instant delivery and logistics system that serves all humans equally. Our mission is to decarbonize delivery, decrease road congestion, and reduce fossil fuel consumption and air pollution, while providing equitable access to billions of people and building a more resilient global supply chain.

We're transforming the way things move for businesses, governments, and consumers. 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're making a significant impact.

The Role

We're seeking a Hardware Reliability Engineer focused on Avionics to join our team. As a key member of our engineering team, you'll apply your knowledge of electrical hardware systems at the board and system level, along with reliability theory, to meet safety, on-time delivery, and unit-cost objectives for our aircraft. With over 750,000 flights completed globally, your work will directly contribute to improving the lives of our customers and their communities.

In this role, you'll have clear ownership of our Avionics reliability program from concept-to-field. You'll set reliability goals, drive our engineering team to reach those goals, and serve as a cross-functional technical expert along the way.

Key Responsibilities
  • Quantify reliability goals for Zipline's Avionics and maintain a reliability budget throughout the product's lifetime
  • Decompose system and sub-system level reliability goals into actionable requirements
  • Influence key design decisions and concept trades for new products, applying analytical reliability methods to uncover risks and opportunities early in the design process
  • Bridge electrical, mechanical, and software disciplines by facilitating design risk assessment techniques at the critical moment
  • Quantify environmental stresses and field usage using data analysis methods to become actionable by design
  • Develop and maintain hardware life-stress models with a physics-of-failure approach
  • Develop hardware validation test plans and technical test specifications to demonstrate lifetime reliability and environmental objectives
  • Thrive in leading multiple problem-solving efforts and contribute to and validate solutions for issues discovered through testing or in the field
  • Monitor reliability performance of the system throughout development and deployment in the real world, and implement lessons learned into the process
What You'll Bring
  • A background in Electrical Engineering, plus a passion for analysis and testing
  • Past experiences developing safety-critical systems resilient to harsh climatic environments, mechanical vibration, ESD, and high electrical noise
  • A proven track record of setting, driving to, and achieving reliability budgets in complex systems
  • Knowledge of HALT, ALT, ESS methods, and experience specifying and implementing testing for the right application
  • Familiarity with making data-driven decisions from large multivariate datasets, including probability and statistical methods, using programming languages like Matlab, R, Python, and SQL
  • Strength applying appropriate failure analysis techniques that add value
  • Comfort interpreting electrical schematic and SLD drawings for failure mode and root cause identification
  • Experience working with external vendors to predict and manage reliability of commercial equipment
What Else You Need to Know

The starting cash range for this role is $150,000-$180,000. Please note that this is a target, starting cash range for a candidate who meets the minimum qualifications for this role. The final cash pay for this role will depend on a variety of factors, including a specific candidate's experience, qualifications, skills, working location, and projected impact. The total compensation package for this role may also include equity compensation, discretionary annual or performance bonuses, sales incentives, benefits such as medical, dental, and vision insurance, paid time off, and more.
