Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs in Los Angeles, CA

Leads machine shop production engineering for machined spacecraft components, from raw material through inspection and high-rate production. Responsibilities include manufacturing planning, CNC process optimization, equipment selection and qualification, capacity planning, first-article inspections, new-product introduction, tooling and fixture development, design-for-manufacturability reviews, quality corrective actions, supply coordination, and technical mentorship.

Leads environmental graphic design for workplaces, R&D spaces, customer environments, events, exhibits, and installations. Translates brand identity into physical and digital experiences, develops spatial narratives and design systems, and manages concepts through fabrication and installation. Prepares production documentation, evaluates materials and fabrication methods, collaborates with architects, contractors, vendors, and agencies, and supports site surveys and installations. Builds scalable environmental brand standards while balancing creative quality, budgets, schedules, and production constraints.

Develop and evaluate machine learning models for object classification, anomaly detection, and data-driven space mission tasks. Support data ingestion, preprocessing, feature engineering, experimentation, and model evaluation. Write clean, tested Python code while collaborating with senior engineers. The role is fully onsite in Denver or Long Beach and requires compliance with U.S. ITAR technology export regulations.

Develop, train, and evaluate machine learning models for space-domain applications including object classification and anomaly detection. Build data ingestion, preprocessing, feature engineering, and model evaluation pipelines; conduct experiments; track results; and write clean, testable Python code. Collaborate with senior engineers while contributing to AI capabilities supporting space security and autonomous systems.

Develop and maintain distributed spacecraft ground control software in Elixir, including satellite command and control, mission planning, mission data processing, and data analysis systems. Participate in architecture, design, and code reviews while collaborating across engineering disciplines. The role involves solving greenfield problems involving resilient, fault-tolerant, concurrent, and real-time distributed systems.

Own spacecraft and embedded-platform security architecture, threat modeling, PKI, cryptography, secure boot, firmware, FPGA, RF, and supply-chain security. Build production security tooling, foundational services, test frameworks, and validation platforms for resource-constrained systems. Lead penetration testing, security assessments, secure development practices, and organization-wide hardening initiatives while mentoring engineers and addressing novel space-based threats.

Owns security architecture and defensive controls for spacecraft, flight software, firmware, FPGA designs, RF systems, and hardware platforms. Designs embedded PKI, secure boot, cryptographic systems, key management, and supply-chain protections. Leads security assessments, penetration testing, tooling, and automated validation frameworks while driving secure development practices across engineering teams. Requires deep hardware, firmware, cryptography, and software expertise in high-assurance space systems.

Embed with test operations to develop and enforce safety procedures and hazard analyses for propulsion, fluids, mechanical, and high-energy tests. Serve as on-site safety authority, conduct test readiness reviews, oversee hazardous material handling and compliance (DOT, EPA, OSHA), lead incident investigations, manage emergency response planning, provide safety training, perform exposure monitoring and audits, and interface with regulatory and range safety authorities.

Build and operate cloud security tooling, automation, and controls across AWS and Azure. Secure IAM, networks, infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD, PKI, certificates, Kubernetes integrations, and secrets management with HashiCorp Vault. Lead security projects from design through implementation, troubleshoot multi-account cloud networks, conduct CSPM and threat detection work, and support incident response. Collaborate with engineering teams on secure architectures and leverage AI to accelerate development. The role is onsite in Denver or Long Beach, may include on-call duties and occasional travel, and requires obtaining and maintaining a security clearance.

Build predictive failure models, real-time anomaly detection systems, diagnostic tools, and operational dashboards for spacecraft manufacturing, testing, and integration. Apply statistical modeling, causal inference, reliability analysis, and data mining to identify root causes, bottlenecks, quality issues, supplier risks, and process improvements. Develop reproducible Python and SQL analyses that support engineering decisions and mission reliability.
