Builds and runs autonomous drone delivery
Zipline is the world’s largest and most experienced drone delivery service. We are on a mission to serve all humans equally by ensuring access to food, medicine and essential goods anytime, anywhere. We design, build, and operate the world’s largest autonomous logistics system, delivering critical supplies quickly and reliably. Today, Zipline operates on four continents, makes a delivery somewhere in the world every 30 seconds, and has completed millions of deliveries to date, including blood, vaccines, medical supplies, food, and retail products.
Our customers include the world’s largest and most prominent healthcare systems, governments, retailers, restaurants and global businesses who rely on us to save lives, reduce emissions, increase economic opportunity, and provide delivery from point A to point B as fast as possible. The drone is only 15% of what we’ve built to enable seamless, reliable, global operations.
Our system strengthens supply chains, reduces congestion, and gives people time back. With more than 140 million commercial autonomous miles safely flown, Zipline is redefining access to healthcare, consumer products, and food across the globe.
We operate at a global scale and are looking for practical problem solvers who thrive on real-world challenges and rapid growth. Our team is motivated by building systems that have a direct, meaningful impact on people’s lives and by scaling the future of logistics. We are seeking people who sculpt from first principles, enjoy facing adversity, and can do the impossible at record breaking speeds.
Zipline's Integration, Quality & Manufacturing Engineering (IQME) team keeps the factory floor running smoothly. We're responsible for making sure the right parts and materials are always in the right place at the right time, from receiving and warehouse storage, to staging materials right at the production line, to getting finished goods ready to ship.
We work hand-in-hand with Production, Quality, Supply Chain, and Material Planning to build and improve the drones, and we're currently standing up brand-new production lines as we scale fast. We're also focused on using better data from production, inventory, and quality data pulled from systems like our ERP, MES, and traceability tools, to help everyone on the floor make smarter, faster decisions.
As a Data Analytics Intern on the IQME team, you'll dive into the data behind how Zipline actually builds and ships its drones, from inventory and materials to production output and quality.
You'll team up with engineers, production leads, quality stakeholders, and leadership to find insights that keep the factory floor running smoothly. Your main focus will be turning data into insights that help people make faster, smarter decisions on the floor.
This role is ideal for someone passionate about data, problem-solving, and seeing their analysis translate directly into real operational impact. Along the way, you'll learn from a fast-scaling manufacturing team, giving you a front-row seat to how data drives decisions in a mission-driven environment.

Zipline builds and operates autonomous drone delivery networks for retailers, restaurants and healthcare systems that need to move products without road traffic. Its electric aircraft carry food, prescriptions and other supplies from partner sites or distribution hubs to customers and health facilities. The company combines aircraft, charging equipment and delivery software with flight operations, so partners buy a logistics service rather than manage their own drones. Merchants use its ordering and tracking tools to reach customers, while governments and health systems contract for medical supply delivery. Zipline was founded in 2014 and has its headquarters in South San Francisco, California.
