Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs in Los Angeles, CA

Develop, test, and maintain embedded flight software for a safety-critical regional hybrid-electric aircraft. Implement control functions on microcontrollers and RTOS, build tests and CI/CD, support simulation and verification activities, document designs and collaborate with systems, hardware, flight sciences, and quality teams throughout the software lifecycle.

Lead design, development, testing, and certification of high-voltage, high-power permanent magnet motors for a hybrid-electric regional aircraft. Interface with mechanical, thermal, power electronics, airframe, and battery teams; perform topology trade studies, create 2D/3D CAD models, run system-level motor and propeller tests, and collaborate with suppliers for certified subsystem delivery.

Support the Founder & CEO and Executive Leadership Team by managing executive scheduling, inbox triage, travel coordination, visitor and headquarters logistics, expense reconciliation, and follow-up on meeting action items. Improve systems and processes, prepare briefing materials, and support special projects, offsites, and external engagement (investors, media). Requires high responsiveness, discretion, and ability to operate in a fast-paced startup environment.

Lead design, integration, testing, and certification of hybrid propulsion power electronics (inverters, motors, HV cables, batteries). Own design, fabrication, commissioning, system-level tests, supplier collaboration, topology trade studies, and digital-twin modeling for a certifiable Electric Propulsion Unit.

Support structural analysis and development of composite and metallic aircraft components using classical methods and FEA (Nastran, Abaqus, ANSYS). Build and modify FEA models, perform static/dynamic/fatigue analyses, validate with hand calculations and testing, collaborate on sizing and weight optimization, investigate structural issues, and document results.

Design and own PCBA lifecycle for flight-critical mixed-signal and power-conversion systems, perform SI/PI and EMC/thermal analyses to meet aerospace standards, lead bring-up and validation, write test scripts, coordinate with software and mechanical teams, and drive process improvements.

Lead design, integration, testing, and certification of turbomachinery and hybrid powertrain components for a regional hybrid-electric aircraft. Own design, fabrication, and system-level testing (engine and propeller test stands), collaborate with suppliers, and model the gas turbine in a high-fidelity digital twin to optimize mission performance.

Design, implement, test, and maintain safety-critical embedded flight software. Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to build controllers, simulation tools, CI/CD pipelines, and test infrastructures. Mentor junior engineers and apply functional safety processes to support aircraft certification and deployment.

Lead mechanical and electrical integration of propulsion, battery, avionics, and structural subsystems. Define interfaces, build sequences, and assembly processes. Provide hands-on build-floor support, troubleshoot integration issues, create work instructions, and drive design-for-manufacture improvements from prototype through production to meet quality and certification requirements.

Lead system-level design, integration, debugging, and certification of distributed flight systems for a hybrid-electric regional aircraft. Support prototype bring-up, HIL and integration test benches, create integration plans, and contribute to software verification/validation aligned with DO-178C. Collaborate across flight science, software, electrical, mechanical, and safety teams.
