About You and The Role
Zipline moves aircraft, service parts, and operational equipment to the teams and sites that keep delivery operations running. As an Outbound Logistics Specialist, you will own the final steps inside our facility: turning released orders into accurate, documented, on-time carrier handoffs. You will work hands-on across warehouse execution, inventory systems, packaging, and carrier coordination. Your work protects hardware traceability, inventory integrity, and operational readiness for field operations, maintenance teams, test sites, suppliers, and customers.
What You'll Do
• Own finished-goods, service-parts, test, and operational shipments from order release through carrier handoff and system closure.
• Pick, stage, and verify part numbers, quantities, serial or lot controls, configuration requirements, destinations, and committed ship dates.
• Package high-value and sensitive hardware to prevent damage and meet internal, carrier, and destination requirements.
• Prepare accurate packing lists, labels, bills of lading, and supporting shipment records with complete traceability.
• Coordinate parcel, courier, and freight pickups; communicate shipment readiness and status to internal teams and logistics partners.
• Complete timely ERP/WMS transactions and resolve inventory or order discrepancies before shipment release.
• Partner with Manufacturing, Quality, Planning, Maintenance, Customer Operations, and Transportation to align priorities and recover fulfillment risks early.
What You'll Bring
• 2+ years of experience in outbound shipping, fulfillment, warehouse operations, logistics, or material handling.
• Experience using an ERP, WMS, or comparable inventory system for order execution and inventory transactions.
• Working knowledge of parcel, courier, and freight processes, including packaging, shipment documents, tracking, and carrier handoffs.
• Careful judgment and attention to detail when handling time-sensitive, serialized, high-value, or configuration-controlled material.
• Clear written and verbal communication with operations, technical teams, and external transportation partners.
• Ability to work onsite in warehouse and production environments and meet approved physical requirements for the role.
• Flexibility to support shipment cutoffs, quarter-end demand, and critical operational needs while maintaining accuracy and traceability.
