Software Engineer Jobs in Torrance, CA

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will enhance user experience for maritime tech, develop a real-time data platform, and oversee large engineering projects.

Lead design, testing, and delivery of flight RF software for space missions. Implement RF software architectures, develop DSP and calibration algorithms, design RF control algorithms, bring up RF systems, and collaborate with ground software teams to test satellite-to-ground data pipelines.

Design, implement, and maintain test and automation software for data acquisition, hardware control, and user-facing GUIs. Collaborate with test operations through the full test lifecycle: design, integration, deployment, debugging, and support. Review and write code, work onsite, and deliver innovative solutions for testing operations.

Design, test, and deliver flight RF embedded software for space missions. Implement RF communications requirements, DSP and calibration algorithms, RF control algorithms, FPGA/baseband bring-up, and collaborate with ground teams to develop and test satellite-to-ground data pipelines and RF system integration.

Design, write, and debug flight and ground software integration/regression tests (simulation and hardware-in-the-loop). Implement tests in Python, support C/C++ debug, bring up Docker containers and HIL environments, integrate hardware emulators, automate tests in CI/CD, and collaborate with GNC and ops to create day-in-the-life spacecraft test scenarios.

Develop real-time, fault-tolerant embedded firmware for actuators and electromechanical control systems across launch vehicles and spacecraft. Implement closed-loop control, motor commutation, sensor feedback integration, and safety-critical state machines. Interface over CAN, SPI, UART, Ethernet, RS-422, and BISS-C; support testing, hotfire campaigns, and in-flight diagnostics. Produce unit-tested, production-quality firmware for harsh space environments.

Develop real-time, fault-tolerant embedded firmware to control rocket and satellite actuators and motor-driven devices. Implement closed-loop control, interface with various sensors and communication protocols, design safety-critical state machines, support testing and hotfire campaigns, and produce unit-tested production firmware for spacecraft and testbeds.

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.

Lead the Cloud team to design, build, and operate Northwood's cloud platform for global antenna scheduling, booking, provisioning, orchestration, billing, and customer APIs. Drive architecture for distributed scheduling, telemetry, control and data planes, implement monitoring, collaborate with Ground and Data teams, and mentor engineers to deliver resilient, high-throughput, customer-facing services.

Lead design and implementation of cloud-based backend systems for global antenna scheduling, customer-facing APIs, billing/metering, and orchestration. Build reliable, scalable control and data planes across cloud and on-prem, collaborate with customers and operations, and enable secure TT&C and payload data transfer.

As a Senior Software Engineer, lead the development of real-time machine control systems for 3D metal printing platforms, influencing system performance and reliability. Mentor engineers, define software standards, and drive initiatives for system robustness and scalability.

Design and implement real-time machine control software for 3D metal printing systems while collaborating with multidisciplinary engineering teams to enhance system reliability and performance.

The role involves developing algorithms for robotic task and motion planning, collaborating with engineers, and enhancing software solutions for robotics systems.

The Software Integration & Test Engineer will develop automation software for production lines, manage test systems, and handle data acquisition, ensuring reliability and observability throughout the manufacturing process.

The Staff Software Engineer will design scalable software architectures for robotics, guide cross-functional integration, and establish engineering standards and practices for embedded systems.

Design, implement, and optimize robotics and machine-control software for industrial additive manufacturing and automated production. Build real-time, reliable control systems integrating robots, sensors, vision, PLCs, and factory equipment. Lead architecture, troubleshoot integrations, improve throughput and uptime, and collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to deploy production-ready automation solutions.
