Top Engineering Jobs in Los Angeles, CA

Own end-to-end full-stack feature development across React/TypeScript interfaces and Elixir backend services for spacecraft modeling, simulation, and ground-control software. Drive architecture, technical debt reduction, performance, reliability, testing, API design, and production deployment. Mentor engineers, establish coding standards, collaborate with product, design, QA, operators, and astrodynamics teams, and deliver complex data-dense, real-time applications.

Contribute to full-stack features for spacecraft mission control and distributed ground control systems. Build React/TypeScript frontends and Elixir backend services, write maintainable and testable code, collaborate with operators, designers, and engineering specialists, and participate in design and code reviews. The role involves smaller, well-defined tasks under senior guidance during a three-month temporary engagement with potential conversion.

Develop and test flight software for spacecraft computers, integrate GNC algorithms, maintain command telemetry databases, support command scripting, build subsystem simulators, and create device drivers and communications libraries. The role involves embedded RTOS development, hardware integration, mission testing, and collaboration with ground-control software teams. This is a three-month onsite temporary engagement in Denver or Long Beach, with potential conversion to regular employment.

Develop and maintain modern C++ spacecraft simulation software and multi-physics libraries. Model spacecraft dynamics, thermal systems, attitude control, propulsion, power, sensors, and actuators; implement numerical solvers and time-stepping algorithms; maintain Python and C++ APIs; and collaborate on mission planning, algorithm development, testing, code reviews, and sprint planning.

Performs hands-on assembly, integration, configuration, and testing of electrical systems, test rigs, and ground support equipment for spacecraft and propulsion campaigns. Conducts continuity checks, circuit verification, functional tests, troubleshooting, inspections, and anomaly investigations. Maintains tooling, instrumentation, inventories, calibration records, and test-site readiness while documenting nonconformances and supporting electrical safety and ESD compliance. The role is fully onsite in Centennial, Colorado, with regular travel between headquarters and remote test sites.

Manage a team of modeling and simulation engineers to develop high-fidelity models, overseeing technical direction and people management while ensuring alignment with strategic objectives.

The Deputy Chief Engineer will lead technical execution for a missile defense program, ensuring integrity in structural analysis and promoting cross-functional teamwork.

As a Principal Flight Software Engineer, you will lead the architecture and development of flight software for space missions, ensuring safety and reliability while collaborating on technical decisions and standards.

Seek a creative Thermal Engineer to join a multi-disciplinary team to develop thermal systems for spacecraft, performing analyses, designs, and testing.

As a GNC Engineer III, you'll manage the development of systems for spacecraft, involving design, testing, algorithm implementation, and cross-functional collaboration. You'll work on GNC software and hardware integration while supporting operational missions.
