Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs in Los Angeles, CA

Lead design, implementation, and operation of infrastructure for integration, test, and engineering environments. Oversee networks, compute, storage, lab infrastructure, and platform engineering. Manage teams, enforce standards, drive IaC and automation, ensure availability and time-synchronized operations, coordinate test stand deployments and facility readiness, and maintain monitoring, incident response, and secure engineering data practices aligned with compliance and zero-trust requirements.

Design and own electrical interconnect systems and harness architectures for space vehicles from concept through production. Specify components, create schematics and production drawings, lead design reviews, develop assembly/verification procedures, and collaborate cross-functionally to meet environmental, reliability, and EMI/EMC constraints while supporting prototyping and multiple programs.

Own and develop end-to-end manufacturing processes for ceramic matrix composite flight hardware, including material selection, densification, joining, tooling, inspection, qualification, and production scaling. Partner with design, propulsion, materials, quality, technicians, and suppliers to improve producibility, resolve process escapes, establish controlled documentation, select capital equipment, and deliver repeatable rate production. Lead the CMC manufacturing roadmap and mentor engineers and technicians.

Lead opto-mechanical manufacturing across the company, including recruiting and mentoring engineers and technicians, designing production lines and alignment tooling, optimizing metrology and manufacturing processes, and establishing cleanroom and acceptance-testing capabilities. Collaborate with optical and mechanical design teams on manufacturability, DFM/DFA, and design reviews. Drive improvements in production rate, quality, reliability, and space-qualified hardware testing.

Owns the reliability and operation of enterprise infrastructure across on-premises datacenters and cloud environments. Administers Windows and Linux systems, virtualization, identity, storage, backup, and endpoint platforms; leads complex incident response, troubleshooting, lifecycle upgrades, migrations, and deployments. Develops automation, improves provisioning and maintenance workflows, supports security and compliance requirements, maintains documentation and runbooks, performs root cause analysis, and mentors junior administrators.

Designs, programs, commissions, and troubleshoots industrial machinery and control systems for R&D, testing, and production. Responsibilities include electrical and fluid schematics, PLC software in TwinCAT, industrial hardware selection, HMI development, safety compliance, risk assessments, and collaboration with end users, vendors, and manufacturers. The role requires ownership of equipment design from concept through commissioning and a flexible schedule with travel as needed.

Develop and maintain RF test fixtures and automated Python-based test systems. Operate and integrate RF lab equipment, characterize modulated waveforms and communication links, debug wireless hardware with cross-functional teams, document test procedures, and support system-level RF and OTA testing for spacecraft and ground communication systems.

Build and lead a precision cleaning organization supporting aerospace manufacturing. Develop standardized cleaning processes, SOPs, work instructions, equipment specifications, validation reports, training programs, and competency requirements. Collaborate with Manufacturing, Quality, Design, and EHS to ensure safe, compliant, repeatable operations. Lead contamination control, FOD mitigation, equipment and infrastructure selection, lean improvement, staffing, and long-term departmental scaling.

Designs, develops, commissions, and troubleshoots industrial machinery and control systems for R&D, testing, and production. Responsibilities include electrical and fluid schematics, TwinCAT PLC programming, industrial hardware selection, HMI development, safety compliance, system debugging, vendor coordination, and collaboration with end users. Requires a relevant engineering degree, at least two years of experience, flexibility, and willingness to travel. ITAR-related work authorization eligibility is required.

Leads the embedded software, FPGA, and simulation engineering team developing spacecraft RF communication and GPS/GNSS receiver systems. Owns architecture, integration, verification, qualification, and delivery across space missions. Establishes flight-critical development and testing practices, partners on hardware bring-up, manages technical roadmaps and staffing, recruits engineers, resolves risks, and supports spacecraft integration, launch, commissioning, and mission operations.
