Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs in Los Angeles, CA

Design, implement, test, and maintain cybersecurity and zero-trust controls for software-based digital twin and satellite simulation products. Perform cyber vulnerability analysis and compliance assessments (STIGs/RMF), integrate security into CI/CD and deployment environments, collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, and develop automation tools for configuration and security evidence to support authorization efforts.

Designs and integrates operational concepts for space missions and first-of-kind space vehicles. Coordinates stakeholders, customers, and subject matter experts; supports technology integration; develops leadership review packages; leads system trade studies, architecture development, functional analysis, and cross-segment issue resolution. Applies MBSE tools to capture system architecture and operational concepts while working with multidisciplinary engineering teams. The role is fully onsite and requires occasional after-hours support.

Design and verify RF, digital, and optical satellite communication systems, develop and validate fixed-point multi-rate DSP architectures, perform link budgets and performance analysis, support ASIC/FPGA system design and prototype demonstrations, and lead integration, verification, and trade studies.

Develop and execute ASIC, FPGA, and SoC design verification activities using simulation, SystemVerilog, UVM, coverage analysis, debugging, requirements traceability, reusable verification infrastructure, and UVCs. Support integration and system-level investigations, contribute to coverage closure, communicate risks and dependencies, and progressively own verification scope of moderate complexity. Level II engineers develop independence, while Level III engineers independently manage assigned verification scope.

Own ASIC, FPGA, and SoC verification activities across aerospace programs. Develop SystemVerilog and UVM environments, reusable verification infrastructure, and UVCs; support planning, simulation, debugging, integration, requirements traceability, coverage, metrics-driven closure, and delivery. Lead verification efforts, troubleshoot across RTL and system boundaries, mentor engineers, assess completeness, and coordinate technical workstreams. The role is fully onsite and requires eligibility for a U.S. Secret clearance.

Design and develop ASIC, FPGA, and mixed digital systems for aerospace and defense programs. Responsibilities include requirements and architecture support, HDL/RTL development, simulation, debugging, synthesis, FPGA implementation, timing closure, CDC analysis, verification collaboration, integration, and system troubleshooting. Lead and Senior engineers provide technical leadership, subsystem ownership, mentoring, and cross-functional coordination.

Design, develop, and test low-level firmware and device drivers to initialize and manage SoC hardware. Implement BSP components for Linux/RTOS, collaborate with hardware engineers on register maps and timing, and produce boot flow, integration, and test documentation. Drive software delivery, create tools for automation, and support SoC validation and integration activities.

Develop and maintain DevSecOps and GitOps capabilities, including CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, configuration management, containerized deployments, and infrastructure as code. Configure secure cloud-native and virtualized test environments, automate integration and deployment processes, monitor and troubleshoot systems, maintain requirements traceability, and collaborate with engineering teams, leadership, and government customers.

Develop and maintain integrated master schedules for government space communication programs. Responsibilities include portfolio and program planning, detailed scheduling, change integration, supplier schedule integration, critical path and risk analysis, recovery planning, performance reporting, and briefing senior leaders and customers. The role also leads program initiatives, supports IPMR deliverables, and advises program management on schedule execution.

Design, implement, and validate spacecraft guidance, navigation, and control algorithms; develop high-fidelity simulations and flight software; apply astrodynamics, flight mechanics, trajectory optimization, and autonomy techniques; support spacecraft integration, testing, operations, and anomaly resolution; and lead engineering teams while mentoring engineers and advancing GN&C practices.
