Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs in Los Angeles, CA

Plan demand and fulfillment for spacecraft capsule production, maintain inventory and lead-time accuracy, manage assembly configurations through engineering changes, monitor open orders, track supply-chain metrics, and improve ERP workflows. The role partners closely with manufacturing, production, engineering, purchasing, and suppliers to support clear-to-build decisions, production schedules, and on-time material availability.

Own the lifecycle of RF flight components, including radios, amplifiers, antennas, and filters. Define and validate component requirements, coordinate interfaces with cross-functional engineering teams, and lead qualification testing for thermal, vibration, shock, TVAC, and EMI environments. Develop Python-based test automation, investigate failures, perform root cause analysis, and implement risk mitigations to ensure flight readiness.

Develop and validate spacecraft thermal management and fluid systems for payload, vehicle, and propulsion applications. Responsibilities include fluid network modeling, thermofluid analysis, hardware and operational requirements definition, thermal and TVAC testing, propulsion system characterization, data processing infrastructure, and collaboration across mechanical, software, payload, and propulsion disciplines.

Runs CFD simulations to evaluate aerospace vehicle performance, supports wind tunnel testing and data post-processing, assesses aerodynamic loads and thermal environments, and contributes to vehicle design improvements using simulation and test data. The internship is full-time and on-site in Los Angeles during summer 2027, with work focused on commercial payload capabilities and hypersonic testbed flight testing.

Supports spacecraft propulsion development through hardware or software design, fluid-system analysis, test campaign creation, test-stand construction, and data reduction. Projects may include propellant system design, component test benches, valve qualification, automated analysis software, and ground fluid equipment. The internship is full-time and on-site in Los Angeles, with candidates pursuing an engineering degree and coursework in propulsion-related subjects.

Manufacturing Engineering Intern supporting spacecraft and reentry-system production. Responsibilities include factory design, production-process development and improvement, hardware optimization for manufacturability, and hands-on production support. The role offers experience with flight hardware, build operations, tooling, real-time problem solving, and production scaling in an on-site aerospace startup environment.

Supports the Guidance, Navigation and Controls team in designing, analyzing, simulating, and testing reentry vehicle systems. Responsibilities include developing GNC algorithms, integrating sensors and actuators, conducting hardware-in-the-loop testing, creating autonomous spacecraft control and maneuver-planning tools, and performing trajectory optimization and dispersion analysis.

Supports spacecraft and reentry vehicle assembly, integration, verification, and testing. Responsibilities include designing hardware or software, developing test campaigns, performing engineering analysis, creating ground support equipment, troubleshooting avionics, building Python test tools, and automating data collection. Interns work hands-on with flight hardware and spacecraft-level checks in an on-site aerospace production environment.

Full-time, on-site summer internship supporting spacecraft and payload development. Responsibilities include designing electromechanical hardware or software, building test stands, supporting test campaigns, and performing engineering analysis. Projects may involve flight mechanisms, pharmaceutical manufacturing payloads, hosted payloads, and custom test equipment. Candidates must be enrolled in an engineering degree program and have mechanical CAD, electromechanical hardware, programming, and hands-on fabrication experience.

Support the Information Security team by reviewing security alerts, documenting responses, tuning security tools, maintaining event logs, organizing audit evidence, tracking external security reports, and updating compliance software. The intern will complete a summer project such as identifying logging gaps, refreshing incident response documentation, or creating a dashboard. The role provides hands-on exposure to security operations, compliance audits, and tools including Zscaler, CrowdStrike, ThreatLocker, Darktrace, and AlienVault.
