Top Engineering Jobs in Los Angeles, CA

Lead supplier development strategy, manage supplier performance, resolve manufacturing quality issues, and ensure compliance with aerospace standards. Collaborate across teams to enhance production processes, implement quality systems, and drive continuous improvements.

As a Senior COPV Engineer, you will develop gas storage architecture for the Terran R vehicle, work on vehicle gas system design, manage vendor partnerships, and conduct tests to ensure component functionality.

Design, implement, and iterate full-stack applications and services for an automated rocket factory platform. Build tools for planning, scheduling, data access/analysis, and operations; collaborate with non-software stakeholders; follow agile practices, CI/CD, and mentor other engineers.

Design, integrate, and optimize robotic control systems for additive manufacturing. Lead device development, commission EtherCAT/TwinCAT/TwinSAFE networks, configure Kuka robots, calibrate robot cells, design low-voltage enclosures, and support production and R&D automation troubleshooting and validation.

Design, implement, and operate a scalable SRE/DevOps platform across cloud and on-prem sites. Ensure uptime, deploy automation and infrastructure-as-code, define SLOs, and champion best practices to increase development velocity and reliability across manufacturing and launch teams.

Design, implement, and maintain high-performance kinematics algorithms and a shared kinematics library for 6+ DoF robotic systems. Develop calibration tools and methodologies using industrial metrology and localization hardware. Act as SME for robot kinematics, motion modeling, and multi-axis synchronization while owning projects from design through deployment in a cross-functional R&D manufacturing environment.

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.

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, 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.
