Hardware Technician - Autonomy Data Systems

About the role

We're looking for a highly capable, hands-on Hardware Technician to join Zipline's Autonomy Data team. This role sits at the center of our autonomy development pipeline-building and maintaining the specialized hardware platforms that collect the real-world data our aircraft depend on to operate safely. You'll own a fleet of custom-built, multi-modal data collection systems deployed on aircraft across the U.S. and globally. These platforms operate day and night, in diverse and challenging environments, capturing the data that powers our perception and autonomy stack. We're looking for a versatile builder and problem-solver. Someone who can design, assemble, debug, and continuously improve complex electromechanical systems, and who thrives in fast-moving, high-stakes test environments. You'll grow into a critical bridge between engineering and operations by supporting field deployments, training operators, and driving execution during complex, high-visibility test campaigns.
