About Zipline Zipline is the world’s largest and most experienced drone delivery service. We are on a mission to serve all humans equally by ensuring access to food, medicine and essential goods anytime, anywhere. We design, build, and operate the world’s largest autonomous logistics system, delivering critical supplies quickly and reliably.

Today, Zipline operates on four continents, makes a delivery somewhere in the world every 30 seconds, and has completed millions of deliveries to date, including blood, vaccines, medical supplies, food, and retail products. Our customers include the world’s largest and most prominent healthcare systems, governments, retailers, restaurants and global businesses who rely on us to save lives, reduce emissions, increase economic opportunity, and provide delivery from point A to point B as fast as possible. The drone is only 15% of what we’ve built to enable seamless, reliable, global operations.

Our system strengthens supply chains, reduces congestion, and gives people time back. With more than 140 million commercial autonomous miles safely flown, Zipline is redefining access to healthcare, consumer products, and food across the globe. We operate at a global scale and are looking for practical problem solvers who thrive on real-world challenges and rapid growth.

Our team is motivated by building systems that have a direct, meaningful impact on people’s lives and by scaling the future of logistics. We are seeking people who sculpt from first principles, enjoy facing adversity, and can do the impossible at record breaking speeds. About You and The Role Zipline designs, manufactures, and operates autonomous delivery systems that depend on reliable, manufacturable electronics.

Requirements

, supplier capability, and fast-moving engineering schedules. As an Electrical PCB Layout Engineer, you will own PCB layout execution in Altium from schematic handoff through fabrication and assembly release. You will work closely with electrical engineers on design intent, mechanical engineers on board outline and packaging constraints, and manufacturing partners on producibility.

This is a hands-on role for someone who can turn complex schematics into clean, robust, well-documented board designs.

, and 3D fit checks. Define and apply layout rules for controlled impedance, differential pairs, length matching, spacing, creepage and clearance, via structures, return paths, and power distribution. Place components and route boards with attention to signal integrity, power integrity, EMI/EMC, thermal behavior, manufacturability, testability, and serviceability.

Collaborate on stack-up definition, material selection, layer planning, impedance targets, HDI tradeoffs, and fabrication constraints. Run design-rule checks, review layout issues, and drive closure of placement, routing, manufacturability, and assembly concerns before release. Generate complete fabrication and assembly outputs, including Gerbers or ODB++, drill files, drawings, pick-and-place files, assembly notes, and documentation packages.

Support design reviews with electrical, mechanical, firmware, manufacturing, supply-chain, and quality teams. Work with PCB fabricators and contract manufacturers to resolve DFM, DFA, panelization, impedance, tolerance, assembly, and yield issues.

What You'Ll Do

Create PCB layouts in Altium for high-speed, low-speed, mixed-signal, power, and embedded electronics. Partner with electrical engineers to understand schematic intent, critical nets, placement priorities, routing constraints, signal-integrity concerns, and design-risk areas.
