About the role
Zipline is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to develop autonomous systems for real-world drone delivery. You will build real-time trajectory generation and decision-making for autonomous flight and tackle optimization across safety, energy and timing while handling complex dynamics.
This role emphasizes simulation, validation, and robust interfaces with perception and controls. You will collaborate across perception, controls, and flight ops to ensure reliable operations, with a strong focus
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
