Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs in Los Angeles, CA

Own complex, cross-functional programs and special projects from planning through customer delivery. Coordinate engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, software, finance, sales, and product teams; manage risks, dependencies, milestones, and customer commitments; resolve obstacles; improve execution processes; and support hardware development, procurement, integration, testing, and operational delivery.

Design and develop FPGA gateware for space radios and RF systems, implementing digital signal processing algorithms, integrating hardware and software, and validating FPGA/SoC platforms. Responsibilities include requirements definition, verification testing, documentation, hardware debugging, and product development from prototype through deployment.

The RF Systems Engineer will optimize satellite communication terminal RF performance, troubleshoot RF issues, and develop test procedures, managing component BOMs and validating modem integration.

Own RF hardware verification from test planning through execution and analysis. Develop test plans, build laboratory setups, operate RF instruments, troubleshoot failing hardware, analyze measurements, and communicate findings. Contribute Python code to automated testing, collaborate with hardware engineers, and maintain calibrated test equipment. The role covers RF components, software-defined radios, signal chains, mixed-signal hardware, and potentially environmental and military-standard testing.

Lead the physical ground segment, including antenna systems, RF, hardware manufacturing, supply chain, site deployment, integration, and commissioning. Drive the transition from prototype deployments to repeatable, scalable production while owning manufacturability, production readiness, design trade-offs, and deployment throughput. Build and lead mechanical, RF, and field engineering teams, establish manufacturing partnerships, and define the roadmap toward full ground station buildouts.

Develop mission-critical embedded C++ software for Linux-based radio systems supporting space and defense missions. Responsibilities include hardware bring-up, system architecture, FPGA and RF interface integration, automated hardware-in-the-loop testing, troubleshooting, and customer integration. The role collaborates with software, hardware, DSP, and FPGA engineers and requires C/C++, Linux or microcontroller experience, with preferred experience in networking, RF, Xilinx MPSoC, FPGA development, Python, build systems, and CI.

Develop and test mission-critical C++ embedded software for Linux-based space and defense systems. Responsibilities include RF driver development, FPGA interfaces, fault-tolerant recovery, hardware bring-up, schematic review, automated hardware-in-the-loop testing, and customer integration. The role also involves debugging RF links and embedded platforms, supporting flight-system deployments, and collaborating across hardware and software domains.

Develop and integrate embedded software for ground antenna systems, including motors, actuators, sensors, and other electromechanical components. Build low-level communication interfaces, automate testing, troubleshoot integrated systems, and support field deployment. Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, RF, and software engineers to deliver reliable ground-station capabilities.

Develop and operate distributed software connecting satellite ground stations, cloud infrastructure, and customer systems. Build backend services, APIs, networking and data-handling software, containerized Kubernetes services, and link optimization tools. Maintain observability and reliability infrastructure, troubleshoot cloud and hardware environments, and contribute to scalable ground-network architecture while collaborating with hardware, RF, space software, and engineering teams.

Own end-to-end RF hardware design for space radios, from architecture, schematics, layout, and PCB implementation through bring-up, characterization, qualification, and flight. Design RF chains, manage cascade performance, select space-grade components, and lead failure analysis. Establish verification and documentation standards while mentoring engineers and serving as the technical authority for high-reliability radio hardware.
