Software Engineer - Embedded Firmware
Job Description
Do you want to change the world? Zipline is on a mission to transform the way goods move. Our aim is to solve the world’s 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 Rwanda’s national blood delivery network and Ghana’s 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. Through our technology that includes 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.
As an embedded firmware engineer at Zipline, you will be responsible for building the lowest level and most safety-critical software on our aircraft. You will work closely with a range of other disciplines, including electrical, mechanical, embedded Linux, and systems engineers, to ensure each aircraft seamlessly transitions from our manufacturing lines to being a participant in the largest drone delivery network in the world.
We use C++ in our firmware development, with Rust and Python for tooling that will be deployed to our production systems in the field. Our aircraft are deployed to locations around the world, many not easily accessible, even over a network. You will help build re-usable firmware infrastructure that will level up our systems’ observability and reliability, without requiring an equal scaling of our engineering team.
