About the Role

We're hiring a Senior UTM Engineer to build core components of DoorDash Air's internal route planning and airspace deconfliction stack. This role involves designing, building, and deploying interoperable services, developing novel path planning and airspace deconfliction algorithms, and creating tools to optimize airspace efficiency. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams and represent DoorDash Air externally.

Responsibilities

Design, build, and deploy interoperable services that must pass rigorous, often open-source, conformance and integration testing against external systems and partners.
Develop novel path planning and airspace deconfliction algorithms that find safe, efficient routes through real-world, dynamic environments.
Build tools that help our teams and systems evaluate and optimize airspace efficiency and utilization.
Design integrations that connect the deconfliction stack to existing DoorDash systems, translating mission and airspace status into terms internal stakeholders can act on.
Collaborate closely with systems engineering, commercial operations, and flight operations to ship features that hold up in real-world flight.
Represent DoorDash Air externally — engaging with peer companies, working groups, and standards bodies to improve interoperable deployments industry-wide and help shape the.

Requirements

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
5+ years of experience across the full lifecycle — design, build, deployment, and operation — of distributed systems in aviation, finance, communications, healthcare, or another field where interoperability, uptime, and safety criticality are core drivers.
Experience building and shipping production services that had to interoperate with systems not controlled by the applicant, including passing external or open-source conformance/certification testing.
Hands-on experience with path planning, routing, or deconfliction problems in real-world, dynamic environments — or the algorithmic depth to pick this up quickly (graph search, optimization, or motion planning fundamentals).
Comfort building evaluation and analysis tooling, not just the systems being evaluated.
Ability to design clean integrations across organizational boundaries and translate technical system state into language that commercial, operations, and non-engineering stakeholders understand.
Strong software engineering fundamentals and experience with languages and paradigms common to safety- and uptime-critical distributed systems (e.g., C++, Python, Go, or similar, plus familiarity with real-time or fault-tolerant system design).
BS/MS/PhD in CS, EE, Aerospace, Robotics, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
