Scored from the posting itself — how clearly the role is described, how much it says about pay and benefits, and how recently it was listed. Not a judgement of Zipline as an employer.

What you need

  • Experience in ECAD library management, component engineering, engineering data management, hardware configuration management, or a closely related discipline.
  • Hands-on expertise with Altium Designer and a managed Altium environment such as Altium 365 Workspace, Enterprise Server, Concord Pro, NEXUS, or Altium Vault.
  • Experience creating and reviewing schematic symbols, PCB footprints, pad stacks, and 3D component models.
  • Strong understanding of electronic components, package drawings, manufacturer datasheets, pinouts, land patterns, assembly constraints, and PCB fabrication and assembly processes.
  • Practical knowledge of IPC-7351 land-pattern principles, relevant industry standards, and DFM requirements.
  • Experience with component templates, naming conventions, parameter schemas, revision control, lifecycle states, permissions, and part-request workflows.

Nice to have

  • Experience with PLM or ERP systems such as Teamcenter or similar platforms.
  • Experience in aerospace, automotive, medical-device, robotics, high-volume, or other high-reliability hardware environments.
  • Familiarity with RoHS, REACH, conflict minerals, export control, counterfeit prevention, or other component-compliance data.
  • Experience establishing preferred-part programs, component-engineering councils, automated library validation, or cross-company part-number governance.

What you get

  • The starting cash range for this role is $130,000-$200,000.
  • Total compensation may include equity compensation, overtime pay, discretionary annual or performance bonuses, sales incentives, and benefits such as medical, dental and vision insurance, paid time off, and more.

Worth weighing

  • No specific mention of remote work limitations or required in-office days, but onsite collaboration with teams in South San Francisco is expected.
  • The role involves significant data management and cleanup, which may be less appealing to those seeking more design-focused responsibilities.
