About the Role
Zipline is initiating a confidential product development effort within the New Products team. This role involves collaborating with experienced team members on ambitious ideas, contributing diverse technical perspectives to a clean-sheet design process, and rapidly exploring solutions to complex problems.
Responsibilities
- Work directly with members of the New Products team on ambiguous, open-ended technical problems.
- Generate and evaluate concepts from first principles rather than simply iterating on existing solutions.
- Bring lessons, approaches, and intuition from difficult problems solved in other products and industries.
- Rapidly sketch, prototype, analyze, or otherwise communicate potential solutions.
- Challenge assumptions and help identify overlooked portions of the design space.
- Use direct exposure to Zipline's systems and operations to develop a grounded understanding of the problem.
- Operate effectively with very little structure and incomplete information.
- Maintain strict confidentiality regarding the project and information shared during the engagement.
Requirements
- Demonstrated history of building difficult things and solving problems that initially appeared intractable.
- Technical creativity, strong engineering intuition, hands-on ability, and intellectual range.
- Track record of turning unconventional ideas into working hardware or systems.
- Comfortable entering an unfamiliar problem space, getting up to speed quickly, and approaching problems without traditional constraints.
- Ability to provide a resume or updated LinkedIn profile.
- Ability to provide a project portfolio highlighting relevant work.
- Ability to answer the question 'What are you most proud of?' in your own words.
- Must sign Zipline’s approved contractor and confidentiality agreements.
- Must comply with applicable intellectual-property, information-security, facility-access, and health-and-safety requirements.
