Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs in Los Angeles, CA

Design, implement, and maintain high-performance kinematics algorithms and a shared kinematics library for 6+ DoF robotic systems. Develop calibration tools and methodologies using industrial metrology and localization hardware. Act as SME for robot kinematics, motion modeling, and multi-axis synchronization while owning projects from design through deployment in a cross-functional R&D manufacturing environment.

Design, build, and maintain a hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) test environment and automated CI/regression pipelines. Develop software fixturing and data-acquisition systems, validate timing-sensitive interfaces, debug integrated hardware/software failures to root cause, and drive final spacecraft integration and test leading into launch while coordinating across subsystem teams.

Design, analyze, size, and test primary and secondary flight structures (thrust structure, tanks, interstage, fairing). Use CAD (NX/Creo/SolidWorks), perform FEA (Nastran/ANSYS) and hand calculations, release drawings, support manufacturing process development and hardware test campaigns, and own designs from requirements through production.

The CNC Programmer develops programs and G-code for multi-axis machines, optimizes production processes, and collaborates on tooling and manufacturing plans.

Lead global sourcing and supplier management for complex machined aerospace components. Develop supply strategies, negotiate contracts, manage supplier performance and risk, partner with engineering/quality for manufacturability, mentor team members, and support NPI readiness to meet Terran R build schedules.

Set up and operate CNC machinery, select tooling, monitor production quality, and collaborate with manufacturing engineers in a dynamic R&D environment.

Lead integrated stage test campaigns for Terran R: develop and execute test plans, write test sequences, sit console for hotfire tests, troubleshoot systems in real time, decompose requirements, drive verification and risk mitigation, and coordinate cross-functional subsystem investigations. Travel to test and launch sites and work hands-on with hardware through qualification, acceptance, and launch campaigns.

Lead hands-on execution of avionics environmental testing (vibration, shock, thermal) for Terran R hardware. Set up, instrument, operate, troubleshoot, and teardown tests; run QTPs/ATPs; collect and deliver DAQ data; support test readiness, fixture setup, hardware integration, and collaborate with engineering, manufacturing, and quality teams to maintain flight readiness.

Moonshot Engineers at Relativity Space will prototype and realize world-changing ideas, manage projects, and work across various disciplines in a high-autonomy innovation lab.

Lead sourcing and supplier management for complex machined components; develop and execute supply chain strategies, supplier selection, and capacity planning; partner with engineering, quality, and planning for design for manufacturability; negotiate contracts and manage milestone-based agreements; drive supplier performance, risk management, and mentor team members to meet cost, quality, and delivery targets for Terran R.
