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 Manager Jobs at DoorDash
Frame your leadership scope for U.S. standards
DoorDash Engineering Manager roles typically require demonstrated ownership of a team delivering production systems at scale. Before applying, document your team size, cross-functional partnerships, and measurable delivery outcomes in terms U.S. hiring panels recognize.
Target teams with active infrastructure builds
DoorDash's logistics, merchant, and consumer platform orgs have historically driven the most engineering headcount. Roles attached to core delivery infrastructure or internal developer tooling tend to have more open headcount and clearer sponsorship pathways than newer product verticals.
Verify your visa type before the offer stage
DoorDash sponsors multiple nonimmigrant categories including H-1B, E-3, TN, and H-1B1 visa. If you're on F-1 OPT, confirm your OPT expiration date against the expected H-1B cap-subject start date of October 1 so you and the recruiter can plan STEM extension timing.
Ask about PERM timing during offer negotiation
Engineering Managers often pursue employment-based Green Cards through PERM-backed EB-2 or EB-3 filings. Asking when the company typically initiates PERM after hire signals you understand the process and helps you assess total immigration runway alongside your initial visa status.
Use Migrate Mate to surface open Engineering Manager roles
Identifying which DoorDash engineering teams are actively hiring is half the battle. Search Migrate Mate to filter open Engineering Manager positions at DoorDash by visa type, so you target roles where sponsorship is already confirmed rather than asking cold.
Prepare your specialty occupation documentation early
For H-1B and similar petitions, USCIS requires evidence that the Engineering Manager role requires a specific bachelor's degree or higher in a relevant technical field. Gather your degree equivalency documents, transcripts, and any credential evaluation ahead of the offer, not after.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does DoorDash sponsor H-1B visas for Engineering Managers?
Yes, DoorDash sponsors H-1B visas for Engineering Manager roles. The company has a consistent track record of filing H-1B petitions for technical leadership positions. Because H-1B cap-subject filings are tied to the April lottery, timing your job search and offer acceptance to align with the USCIS registration window in March matters significantly for your start date planning.
Which visa types does DoorDash commonly sponsor for Engineering Manager roles?
DoorDash sponsors a range of visa categories for Engineering Manager positions, including H-1B, H-1B1 visa for Chilean and Singaporean nationals, E-3 visa for Australian citizens, TN visa for Canadian and Mexican nationals, F-1 OPT and CPT for students, and J-1 visa. The right category depends on your nationality and current status. Each visa has different employer filing requirements and timelines, so clarify which applies to you early in the process.
How do I apply for Engineering Manager jobs at DoorDash?
You can find and apply for Engineering Manager roles at DoorDash through Migrate Mate, which lists open positions filtered by visa sponsorship eligibility. When applying, tailor your resume to reflect team leadership at scale, cross-functional delivery, and technical depth in the systems your target team owns. DoorDash's engineering interview loop for managers typically includes behavioral, technical system design, and leadership rounds.
What qualifications does DoorDash expect for Engineering Manager candidates?
DoorDash Engineering Manager roles generally expect several years of software engineering experience followed by direct management of engineers shipping production systems. Candidates are typically expected to demonstrate ownership of a full team, experience with distributed systems or platform engineering, and a record of cross-functional delivery. For H-1B purposes, your degree should be in computer science, software engineering, or a closely related technical field.
How do I plan my immigration timeline when targeting a DoorDash Engineering Manager role?
Start by mapping your current visa status and expiration against DoorDash's typical hiring timeline. If you're transitioning to H-1B from F-1 OPT, USCIS requires the petition to be filed months before your OPT ends, and cap-subject H-1B employment can only begin October 1. For E-3 and TN holders, transfers are more flexible. Raise your visa situation with the recruiter before the offer stage so legal counsel can build the right filing plan.
