Collaborate on developing MEMS sensor subsystems for navigation applications, involving design, integration, testing, and deploying embedded solutions.
General Description:
HRL's compact, high-performance MEMS IMUs are redefining navigation systems by providing reliable guidance in GPS-degraded environments. Designed with navigation-grade precision, these IMUs offer a cost-effective, scalable solution for automotive, aerospace and other demanding applications where traditional GPS reliance is no longer sufficient. These innovations aim to deliver a first-of-its-kind navigation-grade component, providing industries with a reliable, economical alternative to traditional IMUs and advancing capabilities for autonomous systems and precise navigation.
Essential Duties:
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
Must be able to work in a team of highly skilled engineers on complex projects in a fast-paced, vibrant, and interdisciplinary environment
Experience with mixed signal circuit board design and evaluation is desired.
Familiarity with different families of FPGAs, DSPs, and microcontrollers is desired.
Working knowledge of MEMS accelerometers, gyroscopes, magnetometers and inertial measurement units (IMU) and inertial navigation systems is a big plus.
Required Education:
Expected experience of BS + 5 years of industry experience, MS + 3 years of industry experience, or doctoral degree
Candidates with different experience levels may be considered for other positions.
Special Requirements:
U.S. Citizenship. Ability to obtain and maintain a US Government Security Clearance

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
