Work closely with scientists and engineers to provide support in developing state of the art subsystems for position, navigation and timing (PNT) applications
Contribute technical expertise and work within a focused team that designs, fabricates, integrates and tests MEMS sensor components and subsystems 
Deploy custom-built embedded solutions in relevant environmental tests and field demonstrations 
Interface with vendors to establish supply chain partners for developed architectures

Required Skills:
Proficiency in Python and C/ C++
Build drivers for custom hardware and scientific instruments
Understanding of PCB design, assembly, and PCB layout software
Ability to write test and control software for complex and varied systems
Ability to rapidly prototype with evaluation platforms
Design and execute environmental and field tests on devices
Develop emulations and simulations of hardware devices
Design, develop, code, test and debug system software (MATLAB/Simulink)
Familiarity with low-noise analog and digital test equipment
Applicant must be able to interact professionally with program managers, co-workers, customers, operate complex electronic equipment, perform detailed analyses of integrated circuits, and prepare written and oral presentations.
Ability to work well in a team and independently

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
