Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs in Los Angeles, CA

Own full-cycle recruiting for engineering, manufacturing, operations, and corporate roles. Build specialized talent channels, source passive candidates, assess and close hires, advise hiring leaders, improve recruiting processes and data discipline, and help mentor or manage recruiters as the team grows. The role is hands-on and onsite in Torrance, California, with limited travel for university outreach and recruiting events.

Scale GITAI's technical recruiting by performing evidence-based technical screenings of engineering portfolios, CAD/PCB work and test artifacts. Independently assess fit for hardware roles, protect engineering time, manage candidate pipelines via ATS, challenge hiring managers when needed, and continuously improve technical judgment and market knowledge.

Lead end-to-end solid rocket motor development, including propellant formulation, motor design, manufacturing, hot-fire testing, performance analysis, failure investigation, and design iteration. Make independent engineering decisions and resolve risks across combustion, materials, manufacturing, and propulsion performance while collaborating with mechanical, manufacturing, avionics, and test teams.

Own procurement execution for assigned space defense programs: RFQs, purchase orders, supplier negotiation, delivery tracking, commercial risk mitigation, export-controlled compliance, and supplier commitments. Translate engineering needs into supplier actions, maintain PO visibility, and build procurement practices suited to fast-paced, defense-oriented hardware development.

Design, fabricate, assemble, bring up, test, and debug PCBAs for spacecraft and robotic systems. The engineer will create schematics and PCB layouts, investigate hardware failures, drive root-cause analysis, and collaborate with mechanical, firmware, software, manufacturing, and systems teams through system integration.

Design and own PCB and avionics hardware for spacecraft and robotic systems from architecture through schematic, layout, fabrication release, assembly support, bring-up, and test. Collaborate with mechanical, firmware, software, systems, and manufacturing teams on packaging, thermal, vibration, interfaces, and integration. Apply DFM/DFA/DFT, select components, debug PCBAs with lab equipment, support environmental and field testing, and maintain clear engineering documentation. Work onsite and support U.S. government space and defense programs.

The VP, Strategic Finance will partner with the CEO to lead equity financing strategies, investor outreach, and manage financial communications while building a finance function for GITAI, a space robotics company.

Lead project-level mechanical design from architecture through detailed design, fabrication, integration, and test. Make system-level tradeoffs under ambiguous requirements, stay hands-on with CAD and hardware builds, run and diagnose tests, iterate quickly, and provide technical direction and design review for other engineers.

Lead end-to-end electrical hardware development: circuit design, schematic capture, PCB layout, fabrication, bring-up, debugging, and test. Provide technical leadership in a specialized domain (power, RF, FPGA, high-speed digital, motor control), run design reviews, drive cross-functional trade-offs, and resolve root-cause failures during integration and testing.

Design, build, and test mechanical hardware for interceptor vehicles from concept through prototype, manufacture, field testing, failure investigation, and redesign. Work includes structures, motor and propulsion interfaces, avionics packaging, fixtures, and ground-support equipment; collaborate with cross-functional teams and support remote field tests.
