About the role
About the Team The DoorDash Air team is bringing drone delivery to reality. To make this happen, we’re building a strong electrical team to design high reliability, high power density converters, and fault-tolerant controls electronics. Come join us to build a new class of aircrafts and deploy at scale. DoorDash Labs, established in 2018, serves as the innovation hub for DoorDash, focusing on developing automation and robotics solutions to enhance last-mile logistics. The team's mission is to create technologies that support and augment human networks, aiming to improve efficiency for Dashers, merchants, and consumers alike. We’re ruthlessly focused on business impact. We are a highly senior team composed of former pioneers from a variety of different robotics industries. As of 2025, DoorDash has completed 10B lifetime deliveries. We’re focused on how to do the next 10B even better. About the Role As the Product Manager Airspace & Autonomy for DoorDash Air’s Airspace and Autonomy capabilities, you will own the end-to-end product strategy for the software, services, autonomy, perception, human interfaces and related capabilities required to deploy autonomous drone delivery at scale. You will connect DoorDash’s order and logistics platform with the aircraft, autonomy stack, mission-planning services, UTM capabilities, fleet-management tools, and operator workflows that execute each delivery. You will define how an order moves from merchant readiness through dispatch, airspace validation, autonomous flight, delivery, and completion within the broader DoorDash marketplace, ensuring that new features align to DoorDash Air’s roadmap across teams while balancing execution timelines against technical debt. You will lead product direction across autonomy, aviation software, services, hardware, systems engineering, flight operations, UTM, safety, regulatory, data, and DoorDash platform teams. You will work closely with the Head of UTM and senior Engineering and Operations leaders to establish the product roadmap, clarify system boundaries, make build-versus-partner decisions, and align technical investment with operational scale and unit economics. You will also coach and mentor engineers to help them understand how their work contributes to the broader vision and enables safe and scalable drone delivery operations. This is not a coordination-only role, nor is it purely an internally facing role. You will already have deep credibility in standards development organizations and will promote best practices to help ensure that DoorDash Air’s software, services and hardware meet technical standards required for regulatory compliance in the U.S. and abroad. You will set the vision, establish priorities, make informed technical and product tradeoffs, and hold cross-functional teams accountable for delivering an integrated drone delivery system. You’re excited about this opportunity because you will… • Own the end-to-end product strategy for DoorDash Air’s safety critical software, services and platform infrastructure. Define the long-term vision, platform architecture, capability roadmap, and investment priorities across aircraft, onboard software, cloud services, operational tooling, and DoorDash platform integrations. • Integrate drone delivery into the DoorDash marketplace. Define how merchant preparation, order readiness, dispatch timing, routing, customer promises, delivery-zone eligibility, and fulfillment decisions interact with aircraft availability, weather, airspace, and operational constraints. • Lead the autonomy product roadmap. Establish priorities across mission planning, autonomous path and motion planning, contingency behaviors, rerouting, detect-and-avoid integration, vehicle health, payload handling, landing and deli
