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 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 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 You and The Role
Were looking for a technical fleet manager for our Platform 2 someone who tracks every aircraft across test production and field sites and builds the internal tooling to ensure operational readiness. You have a strong focus on using data to draw operational insights. You will maintain the live source of truth for every vehicles config health and allocation while partnering with engineering and ops teams to surface insights highlight risks and drive utilization.

You have a strong focus on using data to draw operational insights. You will maintain the live source of truth for every vehicles config health and allocation while partnering with engineering and ops teams to surface insights highlight risks and drive utilization.
This is an exciting opportunity for someone who has experience with data analytics and wants to apply that practically to a real scaling operational environment. Whether you come from aviation autonomous vehicles robotics or automotive systems your understanding of complex hardware/software platforms distributed operations and data-informed decisions will be critical to enabling high-reliability scalable deployment.
What Youll Do
Fleet Visibility & Readiness
- Maintain real-time insight into the location configuration status and readiness of all deployed and test aircraft
- Oversee aircraft deployment and reallocation plansprioritizing readiness for operations testing or engineering use cases
- Coordinate directly with maintenance production and field ops teams to ensure asset availability and serviceability
Health Monitoring & Risk Management
- Own fleet health reporting and anomaly tracking systemsintegrating telemetry and operational data to detect trends or systemic risks
- Work cross-functionally to escalate root-cause and remediate vehicle-level or system-level degradation
- Lead proactive initiatives to extend uptime reduce turnaround time and improve part reliability
Tooling & Systems Integration
- Collaborate with software and data teams to design internal dashboards health monitoring tools and fleet analytics systems
- Drive process automation and decision-support tooling based on insights from real-world operationssimilar to FMS or AV fleet data platforms
- Support configuration management and data integrity across all aircraft digital records
Planning & Asset Management
- Develop Fleet allocation plans that align with fleet growth launch targets and business needs and provide clear delivery targets & schedules to facilitate production planning
- Track key metrics like fleet utilization flight hours maintenance intervals and mission success rates
- Support engineering and technical validation efforts by allocating aircraft and facilitating test coverage
Documentation & Standardization
- Establish and scale consistent processes for fleet intake deployment issue tracking and cross-team handoffs
- Document asset status and configuration histories to support audit readiness and regulatory compliance (FAA Part 135)
- Ensure enterprise-wide access to fleet insights for strategic and tactical decision-making
What Youll Bring
- 5 years of experience in fleet management autonomous vehicle operations robotics deployment aerospace systems or automotive logistics
- Demonstrated ability to manage high-value software-enabled hardware systems across distributed operations use of SQL and Python to drive dashboards and tooling for system management
- Experience building or maintaining fleet dashboards (e.g. Tableau Looker custom monitoring tools)
- Familiarity with telemetry systems health monitoring platforms or vehicle fleet data
- Proven success navigating cross-functional environmentsbalancing engineering ops and business priorities
- Strong project management and systems thinking capabilities
- Comfort with ambiguity change and building structure where none exists
- Ability to travel to flight test production and commercial sites (20%)
Preferred Qualifications
- Background in UAS FAA-regulated flight operations or Part 135 commercial logistics
- Familiarity with digital twin systems CMMS tools or issue-tracking systems (e.g. Jira internal tooling)
- Exposure to hardware/software interface issues in real-time systems (e.g. robotics EVs drones AVs)
