GeoSpatial Engineer - DoorDash Air at DoorDash · LumiJobs

Responsibilities

We're hiring a Senior UTM Engineer who will build core components of DoorDash Air's internal route planning and airspace deconfliction stack — the systems that decide where our aircraft can safely fly, coordinate that with other operators and airspace authorities, and keep our internal stakeholders and external systems talking to each other in terms they understand. This is a role for someone who has already lived through the full lifecycle of a distributed, interoperable, uptime-critical system in a field where getting it wrong has real consequences — aviation, finance, communications, healthcare, or similar — and wants to bring that judgment to a fast-moving aerial delivery network.
You’re excited about this opportunity because you will...
Design, build, and deploy interoperable services that must pass rigorous, often open-source, conformance and integration testing against external systems and partners.
Develop novel path planning and airspace deconfliction algorithms that find safe, efficient routes through real-world, dynamic environments.
Build tools that help our teams and systems evaluate and optimize airspace efficiency and utilization.
Design integrations that connect the deconfliction stack to existing DoorDash systems, translating mission and airspace status into terms internal stakeholders can act on.
Collaborate closely with systems engineering, commercial operations, and flight operations to ship features that hold up in real-world flight.
Represent DoorDash Air externally — engaging with peer companies, working groups, and standards bodies to improve interoperable deployments industry-wide and help shape the
We’re excited about you because...
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
You have 5+ years of experience across the full lifecycle — design, build, deployment, and operation — of distributed systems in aviation, finance, communications, healthcare, or another field where interoperability, uptime, and (ideally) safety criticality are core drivers of the work.
You've built and shipped production services that had to interoperate with systems you didn't control, including passing external or open-source conformance/certification testing.
