Top Engineering Jobs in Los Angeles, CA

Lead full design cycle for Terran R primary and secondary structures: concept, analysis, sizing, drawings, testing, and manufacturing support. Use CAD and FEA tools to reduce mass and parts, own designs from requirements through production, and drive test campaigns and manufacturability improvements.

Lead and manage a systems engineering team to develop and scale systems engineering tools and processes, ensure requirement verification and test objectives, reduce subsystem/component technical risk ahead of stage testing, align stakeholders, mentor engineers, and drive decisions across vehicle domains to support Terran R development and launches.

Lead and manage an avionics hardware team to design, build, test, qualify, and support custom electronics for Terran R across the full product lifecycle, coordinating cross-functional integration and enforcing rigorous engineering processes.

Design, implement, and verify state-based vehicle automation for test, hotfire, and launch operations. Collaborate with subsystem engineers to define requirements and architecture, author and review code, validate automation with physics-backed models in CI/CD, and support console operations and pre/post-operation data analysis.

Design, test, and analyze custom high-speed avionics electronics for Terran R across full product lifecycle, including board bring-up, verification, qualification, manufacturing, integration, and vehicle operations while collaborating with cross-functional teams.

Support vehicle build and verification across the Terran R lifecycle: define and own verification activities, write/review test objectives, matrices, and plans, drive qualification and hotfire campaigns, enable scalable manufacturing, balance technical/cost/schedule tradeoffs, and support integration, test, and launch site checkouts with potential travel and shifted schedules.

Lead development of avionics electronics and mechanical hardware for Terran R, managing multidisciplinary teams through requirements, design, testing, manufacturing, integration, and operations to deliver flight-ready systems for harsh space environments.

Lead and manage an avionics hardware team to design, verify, qualify, and deliver custom electronics for Terran R. Oversee full product lifecycle, cross-functional integration, and engineering process improvements to enable flight-ready avionics systems.

Design, test, and qualify mixed-signal electronics for Terran R across the full product lifecycle: concept, board design, bring-up, verification, qualification, and flight production. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure reliable, manufacturable avionics hardware supporting vehicle integration and operations.

Design, implement, verify, and validate custom FPGA firmware for Terran R across the full product lifecycle. Lead FPGA development including RTL design, synthesis, timing analysis, board bring-up, qualification, and flight production while collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure integrated, mission-critical avionics systems.
