Top Engineering Jobs in Los Angeles, CA

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.

This role involves owning the materials and processes for turbomachinery products, qualifying materials, collaborating with multiple engineering teams, and improving manufacturing processes for rocket propulsion.

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.

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.

Design and bring up high-performance compute boards (≥10 TFLOPS) for onboard AI/ML and science data processing. Own schematic capture, PCB design, power delivery (500W+ multi-rail), high-speed interfaces (HBM, DDR5, PCIe Gen4/5, 10GbE), thermal interface specs, and hands-on hardware bringup and validation while collaborating with software and mechanical teams.

Own end-to-end manufacturing for Terran R valves: create work instructions, design tooling and fixtures, partner with design and test teams, support component development, qualification, and production scaling for high-volume manufacturing.

Lead turbomachinery design and analysis for rocket turbopumps, advancing turbine technology for space. Perform aerodynamic and structural analyses, LCF/HCF assessments, and support turbopump assembly, testing, and manufacturing integration. Drive projects from concept through development, collaborate across multidisciplinary teams, and support test campaigns and flight development.

Lead turbomachinery design and analysis for rocket turbopumps, driving aerodynamic, structural, thermal, and forced-response improvements. Collaborate with propulsion, manufacturing, test, and integration teams to develop, test, and iterate Aeon-R engine systems from concept to launch. Solve complex turbopump issues, support development and testing, and implement industry-standard design and assembly practices.

Own and operate Relativity's Linux and Windows infrastructure supporting manufacturing and engineering. Deploy, configure, automate, and maintain production systems on-prem and in cloud (Azure/GCP). Support AD, DNS, DHCP, enterprise backups (Veeam/Commvault/Rubrik), ensure uptime and AS9100 compliance, troubleshoot network/system boundaries, mentor junior admins, and collaborate with senior engineers to operationalize designs and automate administration.

The role involves developing and implementing manufacturing solutions, collaborating with design teams, and leading engineering efforts to enhance production rates and quality for aerospace products.
