Top Engineering Jobs in Los Angeles, CA

The role involves designing and testing mechanisms for rockets, collaborating across teams, and managing the entire design cycle from conception to testing.

Support development and scaling of paint and thermal protection system (TPS) manufacturing for Terran R. Own material application from release to installation, create build flows, mBOMs, and work orders, support first builds, resolve shop-floor issues, monitor part movements for safety, and coordinate with engineering, supply chain, and external partners to meet production objectives.

Own the design, manufacturing, testing, qualification, and flight readiness of assigned combustion hardware. Coordinate across disciplines to ensure thermally and structurally robust components, apply thermodynamics, thermal, structural, and fluid principles, and support production and qualification for rocket engines.

Responsible Engineer for combustion hardware with end-to-end ownership from design through manufacturing, testing, qualification, and flight. Coordinate across disciplines to ensure thermally and structurally robust components, apply thermodynamics, thermal, structural, and fluid engineering fundamentals, and drive manufacturability and qualification for rocket engine combustion devices.

Lead vehicle-level fluid system architecture for propellant, pressurant, and pneumatic subsystems. Drive cross-functional integration, perform thermofluids sizing and analysis, define test and qualification plans, and support CONOPS and operational validation to ensure flight-ready fluid systems.

Lead a small team to design and package propulsion integration hardware and overall engine layout. Manage projects, mentor engineers, perform fluid and structural analyses, use CAD and FEA tools, and collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders to produce manufacturable, lightweight engine designs leveraging 3D printing and traditional manufacturing.

As a Senior RF Engineer, you will design, develop, and test RF systems for deep-space communication, focusing on architecture and integration with spacecraft. You'll work hands-on from concept to readiness, tackling engineering challenges alongside cross-functional teams.

Design, analyze, manufacture, and test rocket flight structures from concept to flight-ready hardware. Perform structural sizing, load review, and test campaigns, optimize designs for additive manufacturing, create drawings, support fabrication, and collaborate with additive, design, test, and loads teams to deliver projects on time and budget.

Designs, builds, and operates pressurized cryogenic, pneumatic, and hydraulic test systems; develops data/control systems; creates and executes test plans; troubleshoots reliability issues; advises engineers on test practices and mitigates hazards to ensure safe, consistent rocket testing.

Develop, validate, and refine test assets and processes for mechanical, electrical, and pneumatic assemblies. Design and/or source test equipment and tooling, author test specifications and work orders, support shop-floor testing, analyze test data, lead root-cause investigations, and drive cross-functional improvements to ensure scalable, safe production testing.
