Top Entry Level Python Jobs in San Diego, CA

Supports requirements analysis, technical documentation, interface mock-ups, Agile user stories, software testing, and customer collaboration in defense and intelligence systems development. Works with multidisciplinary teams on C4ISR, geospatial intelligence, and mission management applications. May travel for product demonstrations, software installations, and system testing while participating in BAE Systems’ Year One development program.

Tests and validates geospatial software through automated and manual testing, test-plan development, defect troubleshooting, and acceptance-criteria verification. Maintains Esri Enterprise environments and PostgreSQL databases, tests SOCET GXP features, supports development environments, and ensures compliance with government specifications and GIS standards. Collaborates with developers throughout the software lifecycle and develops automation scripts across coordinate systems and projections.

Develop and test software controlling complex hardware and automated test equipment for defense and intelligence systems. Responsibilities include coding, debugging, software and hardware integration, regression and requirements testing, and working with AI/ML services. The role involves multidisciplinary collaboration, possible business travel for demonstrations and installations, and participation in a structured first-year engineering development program.

Forward Deployed Software Engineers create solutions to customer challenges by leveraging Palantir technology and open-source tools. They handle project design and implementation while iterating based on user feedback.

Designs and builds cross-team platform capabilities, owns end-to-end architecture and non-functional requirements, guides technical decisions, evaluates build-versus-buy choices, and contributes hands-on code. The role partners with engineering, product, security, customers, and business stakeholders; leads migrations, promotes engineering standards, mentors engineers, and drives adoption of internal platforms. The stack includes TypeScript or Python, Azure, containers, Terraform, relational databases, event-driven systems, and front-end architecture.

Develops custom Computer Network Operations tools and software, including end-to-end data flows and tasking. Programs in languages such as Python, C, and C++, develops Windows, UNIX, embedded, and mobile applications, troubleshoots and debugs systems, authors technical documentation, and participates in design, code, and software readiness reviews. Requires an active TS/SCI clearance with polygraph.

Develop distributed computing algorithms, performance metrics, and analysis tools for Zoox’s Collision Avoidance System. Analyze petabytes of urban driving data, evaluate system performance, and collaborate with CAS Perception, Planning, Systems Design, Mission Assurance, and QA engineers to define autonomous-driving validation metrics and plans.

Develop high-fidelity simulations and software interfaces to integrate the Ability Hand with robotic arm platforms using NVIDIA Isaac Sim/Lab and the GR00T AI stack. Build digital twins (URDF/MJCF/SDF), optimize contact and grasp physics, support ROS2-based kinematics, and help develop React interfaces. Collaborate on V&V and DHF deliverables aligned with ISO 13485/14971, and document APIs and architectures for reproducible research and production.

Develops, validates, documents, and sustains manufacturing processes for optical and optomechanical hardware. Responsibilities include optical assembly, alignment, cleaning, bonding, inspection, metrology, tooling, production documentation, process control, root cause analysis, yield improvement, nonconformance support, supplier coordination, and production readiness. The role works cross-functionally with engineering, quality, supply chain, and operations while supporting new product introduction, sustaining production, technician training, and continuous improvement in a high-reliability optics laboratory.

The Associate AWS Developer will implement features in full-stack applications, collaborate with teams, write clean code, and learn cloud development.
