Top Engineering Jobs in Los Angeles, CA

Build and maintain full-stack applications for factory and launch operations. Design, implement, and deploy enterprise tools and data systems, collaborate with stakeholders, follow agile CI/CD practices, mentor engineers, and iterate on scalable solutions across cloud and on-prem infrastructure.

Design, build, and maintain a hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) test environment and automated CI/regression pipelines. Develop software fixturing and data-acquisition systems, validate timing-sensitive interfaces, debug integrated hardware/software failures to root cause, and drive final spacecraft integration and test leading into launch while coordinating across subsystem teams.

Own mechanized assemblies from design release through test and integration for the Terran R vehicle. Develop build/test flows, mBOMs, work orders, tooling, and shop processes; support shop floor, resolve manufacturing discrepancies, lead root cause analysis and corrective actions, and mentor other manufacturing engineers.

Provide design-for-manufacturing feedback and support primary-structure assembly for Terran R, covering shop-floor builds, clearing production barriers, and driving process improvements. Create work instructions, specifications, and standardize high-fidelity manufacturing processes while collaborating with design, manufacturing, reliability teams, production staff, and vendors.

Provide design-for-manufacturing feedback to structures teams, support prototype and flight builds, cover shop floor assembly work, clear production barriers, drive cross-work-center process improvements, and create standardized work instructions, specifications, and best practices to scale primary structure manufacturing for Terran R.

Design and develop primary and secondary flight structures and mechanisms for the Terran R rocket from concept through release. Create CAD models and drawings, perform packaging and tolerance analyses, integrate DFM choices with manufacturing, manage BOMs and configuration in PLM, and support fabrication and release activities using NX/Teamcenter.

Design, analyze, size, and test primary and secondary flight structures (thrust structure, tanks, interstage, fairing). Use CAD (NX/Creo/SolidWorks), perform FEA (Nastran/ANSYS) and hand calculations, release drawings, support manufacturing process development and hardware test campaigns, and own designs from requirements through production.

Lead and grow the Stage Materials & Processes Engineering team to develop, qualify, and support materials and processes for Terran R stage systems. Collaborate across vehicle, manufacturing, NDE, quality, and supply chain teams; drive dispositions, risk mitigation, root-cause analysis, and corrective actions; manage budgeting and staffing; set technical and leadership standards.

The CNC Programmer develops programs and G-code for multi-axis machines, optimizes production processes, and collaborates on tooling and manufacturing plans.

Lead Linux systems administration for on-prem and cloud production environments supporting manufacturing and engineering. Deploy, configure, automate, patch, and tune systems; support Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, and enterprise backups; troubleshoot network/system boundaries; mentor junior admins and standardize operational processes.
