Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs in Los Angeles, CA

Design and analyze analog circuits and subsystems from concept through verification. Perform circuit modeling, simulation, schematic capture and PCB layout support, signal and power integrity analysis, test and troubleshooting. Collaborate in model-based engineering, DevSecOps and Agile teams. Maintain DoD Secret clearance and work onsite in Woodland Hills, CA.

Develop, implement, and verify guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) algorithms and simulations for manned and unmanned fixed-wing air vehicles. Create control laws, build linear and non-linear dynamic models, run hardware-in-the-loop and flight-test analysis, and support design reviews and autonomy logic for inner/outer loop control and autopilot functions.

Lead the Full Stack Software discipline by defining technical vision, governing tools/processes/training, building a community of practice, enabling sector-wide engineering toolchains, resolving technical shortfalls, embedding lessons learned, and improving software engineering KPIs and interoperability across multiple Aeronautics sites. This is a strategic leadership role focused on governance and enablement rather than day-to-day coding.

Design and analyze analog circuits from system requirements through detailed design, verification, and characterization. Perform circuit modeling, simulation, PCB signal and power integrity analysis, schematic capture, subsystem testing, and troubleshooting. Collaborate within model-based engineering, DevSecOps, and Agile practices for defense systems.

Lead multi-disciplinary GNC teams to design and deliver advanced guidance, navigation, and control solutions. Oversee technical tradeoffs, support program capture and proposals, manage GNC program baseline including planning and earned value management, and support milestone reviews (PDR/CDR). Ensure flight sciences, control-law development, and stability-and-control analyses are executed and integrated.

Design, implement, verify, and test guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) algorithms for manned and unmanned fixed-wing air vehicles. Develop control laws, simulation models, and autonomy logic; perform nonlinear and flying qualities analysis; support HIL and flight testing; and produce analyses for design reviews through program milestones.

Design, model, and integrate optical components and lenses for survivability systems. Perform raytrace-based optical design, simulate infrared/visual signatures, build and test hardware in lab and flight, collaborate in IPTs, support requirements, and meet customer goals while maintaining required security clearances.

Design and support precision mechanical components for inertial navigation systems. Create drawings, GD&T, BOMs, and manufacturing instructions; develop and execute vibration/thermal/shock tests; provide production support, root-cause analysis, and mentor junior engineers. Collaborate across engineering, program management, supply chain, and manufacturing to ensure high-reliability inertial products.

Lead sector financial reporting and technical accounting, overseeing monthly/quarterly close, SEC disclosure, SAP/HFM journal entries, ASC 606 revenue guidance, SOX controls, and external audits. Draft accounting position papers, provide US GAAP/SEC interpretations, train staff, mentor team members, and support ad-hoc profitability and contract reviews.

Lead and develop a contracts team supporting the F-35 program, manage contract administration and negotiations, serve as primary customer interface, drive proposal development and risk mitigation, and use data analytics to improve compliance and decision-making. On-site in Southern California with ~10% travel.
