Top Aerospace Jobs in Los Angeles, CA

Lead production engineering for spacecraft mechanical structures and mechanisms: develop scalable manufacturing processes, mentor teams, ensure manufacturability, set up factory capabilities, create work instructions, support floor operations, drive continuous improvement, manage suppliers, and oversee GSE calibration and certification to meet cost, rate, and quality targets.

Perform spacecraft radiation analyses (TID, SEE, DDD) and develop environment models; plan and execute radiation test campaigns; support part selection and mitigation strategies; maintain parts library; produce verification artifacts for requirements; support proposals, design reviews, and stakeholder briefings; train cross-discipline teams on survivability and reliability practices.

Design and lay out multi-layer PCBs (2–32 layers) from schematic review through manufacturable release. Create fabrication/assembly deliverables, set stack-ups and design rules, perform DRC/ERC, support DFM, manage component libraries, and collaborate with electrical, mechanical, and manufacturing teams to meet performance, thermal, and EMI/EMC requirements.

Manage and maintain the PCB/PCBA piece-part library and Altium vault, create schematic symbols and footprints, import/manage parts in Teamcenter, develop PCB workflows, perform PCBA layouts from schematics, coordinate part approval and testing with cross-functional teams, and support Altium administration and integrations to enable flight and non-flight avionics hardware.

Designs, delivers, and leads the Guidance, Navigation, and Controls subsystem for small satellite programs. Responsibilities include GNC design and analysis, flight control software development and verification, sensor/actuator selection, interfacing with systems and program teams, managing cost/schedule/risk, supporting satellite integration, test, and on-orbit operations, and providing technical leadership and mentorship as the REA for program GNC delivery.

Administer and configure Jira and Confluence platforms, design scalable workflows and integrations, enforce governance and security practices, troubleshoot issues, support upgrades and plugin lifecycle, deliver training and documentation, and partner with stakeholders to translate business requirements into platform solutions.

Provide expert-level administration and support for Siemens NX and Teamcenter PLM: configure and deploy NX templates/customizations, manage part libraries and part families, support AWC integration, maintain TC workflows/ECOs, troubleshoot production issues, evaluate/test new tools, deliver training/documentation, and support engineering teams via help desk and Slack.

Develop and optimize fusion welding processes for Terran R, support manufacturing teams to troubleshoot and resolve production welding issues, serve as accountable weld engineer for various stage hardware, and ensure process quality, documentation, corrective actions, and continuous improvement.

Lead architecture, roadmap, and development of flight actuation control systems. Influence customer requirements, drive technology maturation, manage cross-functional teams, and ensure safety-critical compliance and lifecycle verification.

The Mechanical Engineer will design, test, and qualify spacecraft components, owning the hardware lifecycle from concept through testing and analysis.

Own full-cycle recruiting for technical hardware and software roles: sourcing, screening, structured interviews, offers, and pre-onboarding. Partner with engineering and operations to forecast headcount, build pipelines, maintain ATS processes, ensure export-control compliance, calibrate compensation, and track hiring metrics. Support non-technical hires and campus/event outreach as needed.

Lead advanced manufacturing strategy to improve efficiency, quality, and cost. Implement new manufacturing techniques, manage IPDS/MRL/UPC goals, drive APQP/DFMEA/PFMEA/PPAP/DFX activities, support production transitions, manage cost takeout and RTY efforts, coordinate suppliers and capital needs, and provide program scheduling, budgeting, and milestone reporting.

Lead strategic direction and recovery of supply chain project management for Defense & Space customers (Boeing, Northrup Grumman). Provide inspirational leadership, oversee end-to-end supply chain projects, optimize production and delivery, drive continuous improvement, and align initiatives with business objectives.

Lead development and execution of sourcing strategies to drive cost savings, improve supplier performance, and ensure supply continuity. Collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders, negotiate contracts, manage supplier relationships, and implement procurement best practices while driving continuous improvement and supplier development.

The Media Sales Coordinator manages media campaigns, ensuring alignment with client objectives, optimizing performance, and resolving operational challenges while collaborating across departments.

Lead systems engineering for space sensing and ground systems: test, analyze, verify, and validate missile warning and remote sensing systems; author requirements, technical specifications, ICDs, integration and test plans; coordinate with clients and teams; support acquisition and deploy resilient space and ground architectures.

Lead electrical architecture, design, test, integration, and manufacturing for next-generation AR airborne systems. Derive subsystem requirements, perform trade studies, prototype and verify designs, produce documentation, mentor the electrical team, and ensure compliance with military environmental and EMI/EMC standards.

Lead development of guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) systems from concept to flight-ready software. Design and simulate algorithms, translate requirements into embedded implementations, support HIL and flight test, analyze test data, coordinate across vehicle design, avionics, structures and testing, and document results while mitigating technical risk.
