Job description

About the Zip Perception Team

The Zip Perception team owns the onboard and offboard perception systems that detect and track airborne and ground obstacles. This is a multi-disciplinary team that is involved in developing the embedded sensing systems through detection, tracking, and prediction. Your work here would help define how we prepare the Zipline fleet to perform mission-critical deliveries in complex, real-world environments.

The Role 

As a member of the Zip Perception Team, you'll work towards helping develop new sensing modalities to improve the safety of our Zip aircraft. You'll be able to take ownership on designing a prototype data collection platform, from the CAD design, to the software powering the platform. This role is all about your ability to drive a solution all the way from ideation to taking it out onto the field. If you're energized by solving hard problems, eliminating inefficiencies, and working with a mission-driven team that values speed, focus, and grit, this is the internship for you.

What You'll Do  
  • Design, build, and run prototype data collection rigs to provide key data for training and live detections.
  • Use 2D and 3D CAD tools to design parts, assemblies and fixtures based on sound engineering principles.
  • Develop the software to ingest sensor data and integrate with other software components.
  • Use resources creatively to design, build, and test prototypes to gather quick learnings.
  • Work cross-functionally with other Zipline teams and suppliers to review designs.
What You'll Bring  
  • You must have completed the second year of your undergraduate studies. Masters and PhD students are also eligible.
  • You bring strong mechanical engineering fundamentals and can independently size components and integrate them into designs with minimal guidance.
  • You are highly proficient in CAD, with a track record of designing and executing multiple projects.
  • You'll bring a solid embedded software background, having written software for Arduinos, Raspberry Pi's, or similar embedded devices.
  • You've worked on complex projects that require mechanical, electrical, and software design.
  • You're quick to change direction when you realize you've made a mistake OR could achieve the same goal in a simpler way.
  • You've had previous experience working with Radar or Camera sensors.
What Else You Should Know

This internship is a full-time position, in-person at our South San Francisco office. We will host our Fall 2026 interns from September to December.

The hourly rate for this internship is $50 per hour. Additional benefits may include relocation support, a housing stipend, overtime pay, paid sick time, and other benefits, where applicable and subject to local requirements.
