Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs in Los Angeles, CA

Design, develop, and execute I&T test procedures and automated test scripts for spacecraft flight hardware using spacecraft commands, telemetry, and EGSE. Perform hardware/software testing, troubleshooting, documentation, and test support across shifts and travel as needed. Coordinate with test teams, prepare/present review materials, and resolve technical nonconformances.

Lead development of requirements, verification methods, MBSE-based subsystem/assembly definitions, and assembly description documents for ground hardware. Coordinate across IPTs to plan parallel requirements, verification, and design efforts, improve MBSE artifact delivery, review systems engineering artifacts, and mentor engineers to meet program needs.

Lead and manage all facets of the test program for Autonomous Collaborative Platforms, including planning, staffing, lab/ground/flight integration, execution, risk mitigation, reporting, and coordination across multiple sites to meet cost and schedule targets.

Lead and manage all facets of the program test effort for ACP including lab, ground, and flight integration testing. Plan, staff, execute, track test requirements and schedules, identify and mitigate risks, coordinate across multiple sites, provide resource forecasts, and produce test reports. Act as test program lead (individual contributor) ensuring cost and schedule performance and working in a matrix environment.

Design, develop, test, and maintain front-end applications for mission management systems. Implement responsive UIs from mockups, build reusable components, integrate with REST/GraphQL backends, apply accessibility and performance best practices, participate in code reviews and testing, collaborate with designers/product/backend/QA, and meet program milestones. Role may be staffed at Software Engineer or Principal level and requires operating in a fast-paced, collaborative, on-site defense R&D environment.

Design, develop, test, document, and deploy state-of-the-art AI/ML applications (LLMs, deep learning, CV, sensor/data fusion). Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate solutions into development and production, create software and test requirements, and perform rapid prototyping and proofs-of-concept while following software engineering best practices.

Design, develop, integrate, and test embedded real-time flight software. Collaborate with systems, hardware, and test teams in an Agile environment to implement, debug, and verify software meeting system requirements. Support driver-level networking/serial interfaces and lab integration/testing.

Lead system-level architecture definition and systems engineering for advanced aeronautics programs. Drive requirements management, MBSE/SysML modeling, risk analyses, interface and trade studies, V&V, and mentor multidisciplinary teams through concept, design, integration, and verification phases.

Lead survivability research and advanced design programs, integrating manufacturing strategy into early design. Manage cost, schedule, technical performance, staffing, proposals, business cases, and cross-functional coordination to ensure producible, affordable, and executable designs through transition to production.

Design and develop Mechanical Ground Support Equipment (MGSE) for spacecraft integration and test. Create 3D CAD models and 2D drawings, apply ASME Y14.5 GD&T, perform first-order structural analysis, support fabrication and acceptance testing, develop PDR/CDR materials, define requirements, and provide integration/test support in a clean-room, on-site role requiring an active Top Secret clearance.
