Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs in Los Angeles, CA

Leads and develops a team of autonomy engineers building multi-agent resource allocation, planning, coordination, and edge AI systems for spacecraft. Provides technical oversight on optimization, reinforcement learning, validation, architecture, and constrained real-time deployment. Owns team roadmaps, delivery, cross-functional dependencies, process improvement, and stakeholder communication while managing hiring, performance, career development, and team culture. The role bridges autonomy expertise with spacecraft constraints including compute, latency, power, and communication limitations.

Build and maintain data pipelines, ingestion workflows, transformations, and data products using Python, SQL, and cloud data platforms. Test and troubleshoot systems while applying Git, software testing, and CI/CD practices. Collaborate with senior engineers and cross-functional stakeholders, use AI-assisted tools, and deliver reliable data solutions in a fast-paced startup environment.

Develop and evolve distributed spacecraft ground-control systems using Elixir and OTP. Own features from design through production, establish fault-tolerant architecture, improve reliability and performance, maintain rigorous testing and code quality, mentor engineers, and collaborate across product, frontend, backend, operations, and astrodynamics teams. The role focuses on resilient, scalable services supporting satellite command and control, mission planning, data processing, and analysis.

Lead the technical direction of Elixir/OTP distributed systems for a spacecraft ground-control platform. Responsibilities include defining architecture and roadmaps, leading cross-functional initiatives, improving reliability and scalability, establishing testing and engineering standards, managing incidents, influencing product strategy, documenting systems, and mentoring engineers and emerging technical leaders.

Own end-to-end full-stack feature development across React/TypeScript interfaces and Elixir backend services for spacecraft modeling, simulation, and ground-control software. Drive architecture, technical debt reduction, performance, reliability, testing, API design, and production deployment. Mentor engineers, establish coding standards, collaborate with product, design, QA, operators, and astrodynamics teams, and deliver complex data-dense, real-time applications.

Maintain material requirements planning for assigned programs, aligning production schedules with material availability. Monitor shortages, long-lead items, constraints, and open orders; collaborate with Procurement, Manufacturing, and Engineering to resolve conflicts. Support S&OP demand reviews, maintain ERP/MRP data integrity, report schedule adherence, and improve planning processes. The role supports timely delivery of aerospace flight hardware and requires hybrid work near Denver or Colorado Springs.

Manage master scheduling and demand planning across aerospace and space-technology programs. Lead Material Resource Planners, own the S&OP cycle, align demand with production capacity and material availability, translate requirements into production plans, resolve scheduling constraints, manage critical-path materials, develop schedule-health metrics, conduct scenario analysis, and optimize ERP/MRP workflows. Partner cross-functionally with Program Management, Engineering, Manufacturing, Procurement, and Supply Chain while building scalable planning processes and a high-performing team.

Own capital equipment commodity strategy, sourcing, supplier relationships, contract negotiations, procurement planning, and supplier performance. Lead high-value acquisitions from requirements and RFPs through delivery, installation, acceptance testing, and warranty. Partner with engineering, facilities, finance, and legal while managing long-lead risks, cost optimization, and FAR, DFARS, and ITAR compliance.

Contribute to full-stack features for spacecraft mission control and distributed ground control systems. Build React/TypeScript frontends and Elixir backend services, write maintainable and testable code, collaborate with operators, designers, and engineering specialists, and participate in design and code reviews. The role involves smaller, well-defined tasks under senior guidance during a three-month temporary engagement with potential conversion.

Develop hybrid computer-vision and deep-learning perception systems for autonomous spacecraft. Responsibilities include multi-object tracking, neural-network detection and classification, coordinate transformations, image processing, synthetic-data generation, edge deployment, and software-, processor-, and hardware-in-the-loop validation. The role involves implementing Kalman filters, training PyTorch models, writing C++ flight code, and optimizing algorithms for space-qualified processors. This is a three-month temporary engagement with potential conversion to regular employment.
