Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs in Los Angeles, CA

Develop and deploy full-stack applications supporting purchasing, manufacturing planning, scheduling, test-data analysis, and factory operations. Lead the software development lifecycle, collaborate with non-software stakeholders to define requirements, apply agile and continuous delivery practices, solve complex problems, and mentor engineers. The role involves building scalable platforms across front-end, services, analytics, industrial automation, and AI capabilities.

Design, test, analyze, and manage custom avionics electronics for the Terran R launch vehicle across the full lifecycle, from concept and board bring-up through verification, qualification, production, integration, and vehicle operations. Collaborate with mechanical, thermal, electrical, software, propulsion, GNC, fluids, and stage engineering teams to deliver reliable, manufacturable, mission-critical hardware on schedule.

Build and commission fluid, mechanical, and electrical test systems; author and optimize test procedures and sequences; identify hazards and implement mitigations; mentor production technicians; and plan and execute development, qualification, and acceptance test campaigns with Engineering.

Leads the vehicle fluids product team responsible for Terran R’s fluid system architecture, requirements, integration, testing, operations, and flight readiness. Manages engineers, defines interfaces with propulsion, structures, GNC, and avionics teams, guides thermofluids analysis and hardware design, establishes qualification and acceptance testing, reviews operational data, and mentors technical owners. The role requires aerospace vehicle lifecycle experience, fluid system and propulsion expertise, and technical leadership across complex hardware programs.

Provides strategic legal counsel for buy-side commercial transactions and disputes. Structures, drafts, and negotiates agreements covering technology development, manufacturing, commodities, rocket components, and capital equipment purchases and leases. Advises executives on commercial terms, risk allocation, and financial implications; develops scalable contract negotiation standards and playbooks; and manages post-contract disputes. The role also leads cross-functional initiatives and supports the growth of the contract management function.

Develop and implement vehicle fluid hardware for the Terran R launch vehicle. Responsibilities include creating manufacturing processes and tooling, supporting design-for-manufacturing initiatives, coordinating hardware testing, reviewing test data, investigating failures, implementing corrective actions, and maintaining build and test schedules. The role requires close collaboration with design, analysis, production, and propulsion teams, along with hands-on hardware assembly and integration.

Own vehicle fluid subsystem architecture, schematics, control schemes, component sizing, and fluid and thermal analyses. Lead design and manufacturing reviews, define validation test objectives and campaigns, and support integrated vehicle testing and launch operations. Apply systems engineering, thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, heat transfer, and modeling tools to develop and validate rocket propellant, pressurant, pneumatic, and related fluid systems.

Own vehicle fluid subsystem architecture, schematics, controls, component selection, and sizing. Perform fluid and thermal analyses using analytical and modeling methods. Lead design and manufacturing reviews, define validation objectives, support test campaigns, and contribute to integrated vehicle testing and launch operations for Terran R.

Manages a fluids analysis engineering team supporting rocket vehicle design and operations. Defines and schedules analyses, oversees thermal-fluid calculations, CFD and fluid-network modeling, validates uncertainty using test data, and develops internal simulation tools. Provides technical guidance on propellant management, compressible and multiphase flow, thermal systems, and hardware requirements while mentoring engineers and coordinating cross-functional delivery across vehicle development milestones.

Leads a vehicle fluids analysis team supporting rocket hardware design, operations, propulsion, and GNC. Defines and schedules analyses, manages resources, ensures appropriate fidelity, and mentors engineers. Performs thermal-fluid calculations and CFD modeling for compressible, incompressible, and multiphase flows, including propellant management, manifolds, feedlines, and thermal stratification. Validates models using test data and literature while advancing internal simulation tools for ascent, in-space, and reentry operations.
