User Experience Designer - Zipline
Type: Startup Position at Zipline EXPIRED
About Zipline: Zipline is a California-based automated logistics company that designs, manufactures, and operates drones to deliver vital medical products. Zipline's mission is to provide every human on Earth with instant access to vital medical supplies.
In 2014, Zipline was created to deliver medicine to those who need it most. Since then, the company has built the world's fastest and most reliable delivery drone, the world's largest autonomous logistics network, and a truly amazing team. Zipline designs and tests its technology in Half Moon Bay, California. The company assembles the drones and the technology that powers its distribution centers in South San Francisco. Zipline performs extensive flight testing in Davis, California, and operates distribution centers around the planet with teams of local operators.
Despite being thought of as a robotics company, Zipline deeply invests in building tools that empower our operators and customers, to provide a world-changing delivery service that approximates teleportation.

Other use-cases ensure our fleets of drones remain safe. And many other use-cases sum up to make Zipline a magical and powerful delivery service. In addition, this role also includes establishing best practices for UX design, and integrations into the software development lifecycle.
