Get Access To All JobsAbout The Team
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
We're hiring a Senior Manager, Manufacturing Engineering to own the process and equipment behind how our autonomous food delivery platform gets built. You'll define how we manufacture and assemble every major system: structures, propulsion, energy systems, controllers, sensing and perception—and build the team to scale from prototype into high-volume production. You'll work hands-on across the shop floor and out at suppliers, driving quality and best practices that stick. This is for someone who thrives in a fast-moving startup environment, is comfortable as the technical authority today while hiring the team that grows around them tomorrow, and gets excited about solving hard problems. You'll get in at the ground floor with the chance to shape how the next generation of food delivery vehicles are engineered and built.
You're Excited About This Opportunity Because...
- Own the end-to-end manufacturing process and equipment—from incoming components through final assembly and functional test—including the tooling, fixtures, and work instructions that make it repeatable.
- Work directly with design engineers to influence design for manufacturability early, so every major system is optimized for cost, yield, and assembly before it reaches the floor.
- Select and stand up the right manufacturing execution system (MES), and build in traceability and serialization across the entire vehicle.
- Qualify and hold suppliers and contract manufacturers to a high bar through on-site visits and process audits.
- Own the metrics that matter—first-pass yield, cost per unit, throughput, scrap/rework—using data and structured problem-solving to drive them.
- Hire, mentor, and grow the team, serving as the technical authority on process changes as we scale.
We're Excited About You Because...
- Strong mechanical engineering background with hands-on ownership of manufacturing processes and equipment for complex, multi-system electromechanical products.
- Direct experience taking a product from prototype into high-volume production.
- Experience with electric propulsion and powertrains, and enough electrical fluency to work across the mechanical/electrical boundary.
- Proven ability to qualify and develop suppliers and contract manufacturers and drive quality and yield improvements.
- Comfortable improving how things are built. Making designs simpler to assemble, reducing waste and cost, and getting to the bottom of quality problems rather than patching symptoms.
- Thrives in a scrappy startup: comfortable with ambiguity, building from zero, and taking on hard problems.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Engineering Jobs at DoorDash
Align your specialty to DoorDash's visa criteria
H-1B eligibility requires a specialty occupation with a directly related degree. For DoorDash engineering roles, your degree field, whether computer science, electrical engineering, or a related discipline, needs to match the specific position, not just the general tech industry.
Target teams with recurring international hiring patterns
DoorDash's infrastructure, machine learning, and platform engineering teams have historically filed across multiple visa categories. Searching DOL's OFLC disclosure data by employer name and job title helps you identify which engineering functions see the most consistent sponsorship activity.
Prepare for a multi-round technical process early
DoorDash's engineering interviews typically include a system design round and multiple coding assessments. Starting interview prep before you apply shortens the gap between offer and filing, which matters if you're managing OPT expiration or a 60-day grace period.
Clarify your visa category before the offer stage
DoorDash sponsors several visa types including H-1B, E-3, TN, and H-1B1 visa. If you qualify for a treaty-based visa like E-3 or TN, raise it with the recruiter before the formal offer, since these have faster processing timelines and no lottery.
Use Migrate Mate to filter open engineering roles by sponsorship
Finding roles where DoorDash is actively hiring engineers who need sponsorship is faster when you can filter by visa type. Migrate Mate lets you browse DoorDash's open engineering positions specifically tagged for visa sponsorship, so you're applying where your authorization needs are already anticipated.
Account for USCIS processing timelines in your start date
H-1B cap-subject petitions have an October 1 start date, but cap-exempt transfers and treaty visas like E-3 can be filed year-round. When negotiating your start date with DoorDash, build in realistic USCIS adjudication time and confirm whether premium processing is part of their standard filing practice.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does DoorDash sponsor H-1B visas for Engineers?
Yes, DoorDash sponsors H-1B visas for engineering roles. The company files petitions across its engineering org, covering functions from backend and infrastructure to machine learning and mobile. If you're subject to the H-1B cap and lottery, your petition would typically be filed in the spring registration window for an October 1 start date. Engineers already holding H-1B status with another employer can transfer to DoorDash outside the cap.
How do I apply for Engineering jobs at DoorDash?
You can find and apply for DoorDash engineering roles through their careers site or through Migrate Mate, which filters open positions by visa sponsorship type so you can confirm DoorDash is actively sponsoring for the specific role you're targeting. Tailor your application to the team's technical focus, whether that's distributed systems, data infrastructure, or mobile, and be direct with the recruiter early about your authorization needs.
Which visa types does DoorDash commonly sponsor for Engineering roles?
DoorDash sponsors multiple visa categories for engineering positions, including H-1B, E-3 visa for Australian citizens, H-1B1 visa for Chilean and Singaporean nationals, TN visa for Canadian and Mexican engineers, and F-1 OPT and CPT for students. Green Card pathways through EB-2 and EB-3 are also available. The right category depends on your nationality, degree field, and job title, so it's worth raising your specific situation with DoorDash's immigration team after receiving an offer.
What qualifications does DoorDash expect for Engineering roles requiring sponsorship?
DoorDash's engineering roles typically require a bachelor's degree or higher in computer science, software engineering, or a closely related technical field. Beyond the degree, they evaluate system design depth, coding proficiency, and domain knowledge relevant to the team, whether that's data pipelines, API infrastructure, or consumer mobile. For H-1B eligibility specifically, your degree field needs to align directly with the job duties, not just the broader software category.
How long does the visa sponsorship process take after a DoorDash engineering offer?
Timeline depends on visa type. Treaty visas like E-3 and TN can be processed in weeks and don't require lottery participation. H-1B cap-subject petitions follow the annual lottery cycle, with a potential October 1 start date, though USCIS premium processing can reduce adjudication time to around 15 business days once filed. If you're on F-1 OPT, DoorDash can typically onboard you while the H-1B petition is pending, provided your OPT authorization remains valid through the transfer window.
