Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs in Los Angeles, CA

Lead vehicle-level software integration and testing for an EV platform: define integration roadmap and test strategy, coordinate cross-functional teams, run pre/post-merge and regression testing across domains (powertrain, BMS, charging, ADAS, infotainment), manage a 150+ vehicle test fleet, support bring-up, validation, root-cause analysis, and sign off on software maturity gates.

Design, implement, and validate firmware architecture and control/estimation algorithms for vehicle body systems (windows, latches, motors, lighting). Lead hardware integration and bring-up on test assets and vehicles, develop tests (unit/SIL/HIL), collaborate cross-functionally, and participate in functional safety analyses to move features from prototype to high-volume production.

Design, build, integrate, commission, and maintain electrical test assets (Labcars, HIL benches, fixtures, harnesses). Create CAD/layouts, BOMs, and build documentation; perform wiring, diagnostics, network debug (CAN/LIN/Ethernet), and system-level test/validation. Lead technicians during fabrication and commissioning, collaborate cross-functionally, support off-site field testing, and maintain rigorous documentation for repeatable prototype builds.

Lead design and implementation of safety-critical firmware for HV embedded systems (BMS, charging, motor controls). Develop bare-metal and RTOS software, multicore timing-critical architectures, low-power modes, ISO26262-compliant designs, and test frameworks (SIL/HIL). Perform hardware bring-up, debugging, profiling, and CI/CD integration across cross-functional teams to ensure release-ready embedded software.

Lead and maintain chassis and hub-coupled dynamometer lab readiness, run EV energy consumption, range, WLTP and certification tests, manage ISO17025 accreditation, author SOPs, improve lab systems and instrumentation, analyze dyno/CAN/energy data, mentor staff, and coordinate cross-functional testing for EV development and certification.

Lead vehicle systems integration by collaborating across engineering, design, and manufacturing to develop, prototype, and validate integrated mechanical and electromechanical solutions. Drive cross-functional architecture trades, resolve geometric incompatibilities using 3D tools and first principles, and improve cost, mass, manufacturability, serviceability, and user experience.

Lead and develop a team of HIL test engineers to design, build, operate, and automate HIL test systems for EV power electronics and charging ECUs. Define HIL strategy, create test plans and automated scripts (Python/ECU-TEST), manage dSPACE/Typhoon/CAN toolchains, collaborate with cross-functional teams, oversee root-cause analysis, resource planning, and ensure requirements traceability and test coverage. Domestic travel up to 5%.

Lead 3D statistical variation and dimensional feasibility analysis (3DCS), build and validate large vehicle assemblies, define GD&T and datum strategies, architect body build sequences, drive dimensional quality and issue resolution across design, manufacturing and quality, support builds and plant launch, and mentor teammates to grow dimensional engineering capability.

Lead enterprise-wide transformation for Ford's electrification strategy by owning portfolios of large cross-functional programs. Define future-state operating models, roadmaps, governance, and measurable outcomes across people, process, data, and technology. Build and lead a team of business architects, influence executives, manage portfolio governance, drive organizational change, and partner with Engineering, Manufacturing, IT, Supply Chain, and external partners to deliver sustained improvements and benefits realization.

Lead TA strategy for Advanced EV organization: build technical sourcing pipelines, coach and manage technical recruiting teams, partner with HR and engineering leaders, track recruiting metrics, improve processes, and attract specialized talent across battery, powertrain, controls, software, and autonomy disciplines.
