Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs in Los Angeles, CA

Support integration, testing, debugging, and troubleshooting of mission hardware and software, including avionics, sensors, radios, processors, communications, and command-and-control systems. Develop software interfaces for telemetry and subsystems, assist with hardware/software bring-up in laboratory, hardware-in-the-loop, ground-test, and aircraft environments, document technical findings, and collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering and flight-test teams.

Own technical sourcing for engineering roles, including prospecting, candidate engagement, interviewing, talent mapping, pipeline management, and recruiting process improvement. Partner with recruiters and engineering leaders to define hiring needs, assess candidates, improve hiring outcomes, represent the employer brand, and deliver a strong candidate experience. The role requires independent execution and expertise in sourcing technical hardware engineering talent.

Supports the design, manufacturing, integration, and testing of flight and test hardware for the Mk 2.3 airframe. Responsibilities include CAD modeling, material selection, design for manufacturing, production transition, tooling and build-process development, structural validation testing, project execution, and cross-functional vehicle integration.

Develop performant Julia-based 6DOF Software-in-the-Loop simulation code for aerospace systems. Build scalable Monte Carlo simulations and physics-informed models, collaborate with flight software, HMI, and flight sciences teams, validate models against real flight data, optimize real-time performance, participate in testing and code reviews, and document modeling assumptions and validation workflows.

Supports development of flight-critical propulsion components such as valves, actuators, and fluid-control hardware from clean-sheet design through production. Responsibilities include engineering trade studies, analysis, integration, build-test-iterate cycles, troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, qualification, reliability and safety evaluation, and transition to production-ready designs. The intern collaborates with propulsion and vehicle teams in hands-on, fast-paced build and test environments.

Supports direct-materials purchasing, supplier gap analysis, approved supplier list development, supply chain SOP documentation, standard parts inventory planning, supplier audit and business review frameworks, and production-readiness process improvements. Collaborates with engineering, manufacturing, and quality teams to align sourcing strategies with vehicle production goals.

Supports the design, manufacture, operation, and maintenance of test assets for supersonic vehicle subsystems. Responsibilities include designing fixtures and tooling, creating CAD models and drawings, developing test plans, performing engineering analysis, troubleshooting fluid, mechanical, and electrical systems, collecting test data, documenting results, and collaborating with manufacturing and engineering teams to improve testing capabilities.

Own the monthly and quarterly close, consolidated financial reporting, technical accounting, cost accounting, inventory valuation, and standard costing. Research US GAAP positions, support audits and internal controls, improve accounting processes through automation, and provide analyses for company-wide decisions. The role partners with the Controller, FP&A, Operations, and external auditors in a fast-paced manufacturing startup environment.

Develop modern C++ flight-autonomy software for supersonic unmanned aircraft, including guidance, navigation, control loops, mission autonomy, sensor integration, and vehicle decision-making. Integrate capabilities with aircraft, command-and-control, communications, and operator systems. Build testing and simulation tools, diagnose cross-functional issues, and support software-, hardware-, ground-, and flight-testing while owning technical problems through operational deployment.
