About the role
Zipline is seeking a senior machine learning and perception engineer to help define the state of the art in aircraft and obstacle detection for autonomous delivery drones. You will shape reliable perception systems, work across systems, and push the boundaries of safety and autonomy.
Join Zipline to design scalable perception pipelines, collaborate with flight test and validation teams, and deliver robust 3D situational awareness at scale in real-world environments.
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.
