About Zipline
Do you want to change the world Zipline is on a mission to transform the way goods move. Our aim is to solve the worlds most urgent and complex access challenges by building manufacturing and operating the first instant delivery and logistics system that serves all humans equally wherever they are. From powering Rwandas national blood delivery network and Ghanas COVID19 vaccine distribution to providing ondemand home delivery for Walmart to enabling healthcare providers to bring care directly to U.S. homes we are transforming the way things move for businesses governments and consumers.
The technology is complex but the idea is simple: a teleportation service that delivers what you need when you need it. Using robotics and autonomy we are decarbonizing delivery decreasing road congestion and reducing fossil fuel consumption and air pollution while providing equitable access to billions of people and building a more resilient global supply chain.
Join Zipline and help us to make good on our promise to build an equitable and more resilient global supply chain for billions of people.
About the Role
As a Hardware Reliability Engineer focused on Avionics at Zipline you will apply your knowledge of electrical hardware systems at the board and system level along with reliability theory to meet safety ontime delivery and unitcost objectives for our aircraft. We have completed more than a 750000 flights around the globe; with each package we ship your work contributes directly toward improving the lives of our customers and their communities.
In this role you will have clear ownership of our Avionics reliability program from concepttofield. We expect you to set reliability goals drive our engineering team to reach those goals and serve as a crossfunctional technical expert along the way.
What Youll Do
- Quantify reliability goals for Ziplines Avionics; maintain a reliability budget through that products lifetime
- Decompose system and subsystem 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 (FTA RBD)
- Bridge electrical / mechanical / software disciplines by facilitating design risk assessment techniques (FMEA/FMECA etc. at the critical moment
- Quantify environmental stresses and field usage using data analysis methods to become actionable by design
- Develop and maintain hardware lifestress models with a physicsoffailure approach
- Develop hardware validation test plans and technical test specifications to demonstrate lifetime reliability and environmental objectives
- Thrive in leading multiple problemsolving efforts; contribute 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 Youll Bring
- A background in Electrical Engineering plus a passion for analysis and testing
- Past experiences developing safetycritical systems resilient to harsh climatic environments mechanical vibration ESD and high electrical noise. For example aerospace infrastructure medical and transportation fields
- A proven track record of setting driving to and achieving reliability budgets in complex systems
- Knowledge of HALT ALT ESS methods; experience specifying and implementing testing for the right application. E.g. test stress duration and sample size
- Familiarity with making datadriven decisions from large multivariate datasets including probability and statistical methods using programming (Matlab R Python SQL)
- Strength applying appropriate failure analysis techniques that add value (Weibull analysis etc.
- 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
