Job description

About You and The Role 

Does working on large, integrated electro-mechanical systems-from small-scale engineering builds to full-scale production and global deployment-excite you? Do you feel driven to dive in when others say something is too difficult or impossible? Are you the "go-to" engineer when it comes to figuring out how to build and scale something that's never been done before?

At Zipline, our work is built for the real world. Families and patients rely on us every day-there's no room for falling short or aiming low. If you're passionate about using your engineering talent to create elegant, effective manufacturing solutions, read on.

What You'll Do

As a Quality Engineer on our manufacturing quality team, you will ensure every vehicle leaving the line meets Zipline's high-performance standards. You will drive the disposition of inspection findings and non conformances, lead root-cause analyses, and implement corrective actions to boost yield and production rates. You'll define and document inspection plans, rework procedures, and supplier feedback, partnering with cross-functional teams to close quality gaps.

  • Serve as the first line of defense for part and vehicle performance: review and disposition discrepancies coming from all production processes: from receiving inspections to system end-of-line tests
  • Lead root-cause analyses on one-off and recurring quality issues, driving corrective-action plans through to closure
  • Collaborate with Supplier Industrialization to provide actionable feedback, qualify new vendors, and improve incoming part quality
  • Define and document inspection plans, acceptance criteria, and rework procedures for common failures in mechanical, electrical, and composite systems
  • Partner with Test and EOL Engineers to iterate on test-station designs, refine protocols, and streamline data capture
  • Occasionally execute hands-on inspections or audits to validate new procedures and train Quality Technicians
  • Analyze quality data and key performance indicators (KPIs) to identify trends, generate insights, and recommend process improvements
  • Own change-control and revision of quality documentation-SOPs, work instructions, and technical drawings-to ensure current best practices are followed
What You'll Bring
  • 5+ years in quality engineering, supplier development engineering, or equivalent roles within complex manufacturing environments
  • Demonstrated expertise in root-cause analysis tools (5-Why, Fishbone, FMEA), control plan development, and corrective-action frameworks (8D, CAPA)
  • Strong technical writing skills: able to craft clear inspection plans, work instructions, and supplier feedback reports
  • Hands-on understanding of mechanical, electrical, and/or composite inspection techniques, plus familiarity with GD&T
  • Experience partnering with suppliers on quality improvement and industrialization activities
  • Excellent collaboration skills: able to influence across Engineering, Production, Procurement, and Supplier teams
  • Continuous-improvement orientation with a track record of driving cycle-time reductions or yield improvements
  • Experience using and navigating work tracking software such as Jira, and ERP systems such as Odoo
