Zipline delivers food, groceries, and medicine in minutes with fast, reliable, zero emission delivery. Backed by Sequoia and Techstars.
About the role
Apply data analysis, statistics, and machine learning techniques to increase the reliability and robustness of the droid’s deliveries. Design and run validation experiments to measure success and failure rates under different real-world conditions (e.g., driveway geometry, car presence, time of day).
What they're looking for
- Work hands-on with an autonomous robot operating in the real world — to help expand its capabilities for safer and more reliable deliveries
- Analyze, validate real-world data to understand system performance and identify failure modes and come up with unique solutions
- Design experiments and models that improve the robot’s ability to make reliable decisions in highly variable, unpredictable environments
- Translate insights from validation into actionable improvements that directly impacts the speed, accuracy and safety of the robot delivery
- Collaborate closely with perception, autonomy, and flight testing teams to see how your work connects across the full robotics stack
- Gain experience with the end-to-end process of deploying autonomy at scale —from data collection and model development through validation and live operations
