Top Engineering Jobs in Los Angeles, CA

Lead development, implementation, and continuous improvement of the Quality Management System. Own document control, plan and run internal audits, support root-cause investigations and corrective actions, train cross-functional teams, and monitor QMS performance to drive reliability across design, manufacturing, supply chain, and test.

Design opto-mechanical structures, mounts, and mechanisms that preserve optical alignment through thermal changes, launch vibration, and on-orbit conditions. Collaborate with optics, optical communications, and mechanical teams; perform CAD modeling and FEA to validate gravity sag, thermal distortion, and vibration performance for deep-space missions.

Lead and grow a Build Reliability Engineering team to embed reliability across design, manufacturing, test, and launch. Drive failure analysis (Fault Tree, 8D), integrate FMEA and predictive modeling into early designs, set reliability KPIs (MTBF, first-pass yield), partner with NPI, Supply Chain, and Operations to resolve supplier and production issues, and build scalable processes and staffing for high-rate production.

Lead planning, design, and execution of spacecraft operations for an interplanetary science mission. Define operations architecture, coordinate with science and instrument teams, automate operations and scheduling, and execute operations to maximize science return while managing cross-subsystem constraints, shift work, and on-call duties.

The role involves being an expert in Powder Bed Fusion processes for creating reusable rocket components, leading material qualifications, and improving manufacturing processes while collaborating with cross-functional teams.

As a Turbomachinery Engineer, you'll produce components for rocket turbopumps and develop manufacturing processes while collaborating with design teams.

As a Manager of Avionics Production, you'll lead the production team, optimize workflows, ensure quality, and drive continuous improvement in avionics manufacturing.

Manage a team performing thermal, structural, dynamic, and durability analyses for liquid propellant rocket engines. Lead FEA/CFD-driven design iterations, assess structural integrity of 3D‑printed components and integrated engines, sign off flight hardware readiness, collaborate with mechanical and manufacturing teams, set team vision, and recruit and mentor analysts to meet program milestones and reliability requirements.

Lead the propulsion development team at Relativity Space, managing engine system development, mentoring engineers, and optimizing requirements for rocket engines while ensuring team growth and project completion.

Lead design, analysis, and development of turbine systems for rocket turbopumps. Perform aerodynamic and structural analysis, apply LCF/HCF methodologies, support assembly and testing, and collaborate with manufacturing, test, and integration teams to drive turbomachinery projects from concept to flight.
