Top Engineering Jobs in Los Angeles, CA

Lead hardware product development from concept through design, build, integration, and test. Own CAM responsibilities, manage schedule/cost/risk, perform derating and root-cause analysis, drive corrective actions and configuration changes, mentor junior engineers, and ensure technical decisions meet mission requirements.

Drive supplier quality and material reliability across supply chain, engineering, and manufacturing. Lead containment and root-cause analysis for nonconformances, track yields and escapes, implement corrective actions, improve supplier capability, and incorporate lessons learned into NPI to meet program reliability goals.

Lead spacecraft mechanical design and analysis, set technical direction, create processes/tools/standards, support verification and testing (vibration, TVAC), audit suppliers, mentor mid-career engineers, and provide technical guidance to programs.

Lead development of satellite ground real-time software as technical lead: design, code, test, review, mentor engineers, collaborate across integrated product teams, and guide software standards and lifecycle practices for defense satellite systems.

Three-year rotational engineering program in El Segundo for recent graduates. Participants rotate through technical roles in electrical, aerospace, mechanical, and systems engineering supporting satellite and space systems (electronics, thermal/structural analysis, antenna design, integration & test). Program includes hands-on projects, leadership development, mentoring, Lean engineering training, and networking with leadership. Graduates are placed into technical or managerial career paths.

Lead and grow Ground Systems Software teams: hire, mentor, allocate staff, define scope, track program progress, and drive technical architecture, design reuse, process improvements, and best practices for satellite ground segment development and testing.

The role involves supporting EMC design and analysis for satellites, managing requirements, test plans, and technical oversight while interfacing with multiple stakeholders.

Develop, qualify, and implement manufacturing processes for satellite structures and propulsion. Review designs for manufacturability, create work instructions and SOPs, lead process transition from low-rate to higher-rate production, and perform root-cause analysis with engineering corrective actions.

Design structural, payload, and MGSE components for space hardware using 3-D CAD (e.g., Creo). Develop, verify, and document designs, manage suppliers, support fabrication/integration/testing, ensure compliance with GD&T, safety, and producibility, and create tooling and assembly solutions for satellite platforms.

Design and analyze satellite solar arrays and battery mechanical/electro-mechanical systems. Lead design, testing, qualification, failure investigations, and cross-functional coordination. Produce mechanical/electrical layouts using Creo/AutoCAD, apply GD&T and DFMAT, and serve as a technical lead or Responsible Engineering Authority on spacecraft solar and battery hardware.
