Staff Controls Engineer

Join Zipline, a company that builds and operates autonomous delivery systems for critical goods. As a Staff Controls Engineer, you will be responsible for system-performance analysis, developing dynamic models, building robust controls algorithms, and leading technical recommendations for design improvements. You will work closely with various teams and translate operational insights into engineering priorities.

• Posséder l'analyse de performance du système pour les conceptions de véhicules et aider à transformer les données de vol et de flotte en meilleurs modèles.
• Travailler en étroite collaboration avec les équipes de contrôle, d'essai en vol, de matériel, de fabrication et de relations clients pour identifier les limites de performance.
• Développer des algorithmes de contrôle qui sont robustes, performants, tolérants aux pannes et posséder le développement, les tests, l'analyse et le déploiement de ceux-ci.

• Experience developing and using high-fidelity simulations to evaluate system performance and guide engineering decisions
• Comfort working closely with flight-test teams, global fleet data, and customer context to understand real-world system behavior
• Ability to lead ambiguous technical problems from framing through analysis, recommendation, and cross-functional execution
• Experience analyzing experimental or flight-test data and using evidence to validate models or improve designs
• Clear written and verbal communication skills for explaining technical findings to engineering and operational partners
• Strong engineering judgment about model assumptions, uncertainty, validation limits, and design tradeoffs
• Demonstrated expertise in controls, flight dynamics, system identification, or modeling of complex physical systems
