Technical Program Manager Intern (Spring 2027)

What the role actually is Zipline is hiring a spring 2027 technical program manager intern in South San Francisco. The internship sits with program managers embedded across hardware teams working on drones, ground infrastructure, testing, and delivery systems. This is a product execution role rather than a pure engineering role. The intern would help teams understand risks, make tradeoffs, track milestones, and keep complex robotics programs moving.
