Top Software Engineer Jobs in San Diego, CA

The role involves designing, developing, and supporting software for complex electro-mechanical systems in semiconductor manufacturing. Responsibilities include full lifecycle development, troubleshooting, and collaboration across teams.

Lead design, implementation, and operation of large-scale, low-latency distributed data platforms and stream processing. Own RTAP architecture, build/optimize services (Flink, Spark, ClickHouse, Druid), integrate batch/stream lakehouse patterns, apply AI tooling to automate platform workflows, mentor engineers, and lead production incident response and reliability improvements.

Lead development, integration, and delivery of modular modeling and simulation software. Provide architecture and technical leadership, ensure verification/validation and model fidelity, optimize performance and CI/CD pipelines, integrate simulation components with system interfaces, and coordinate with systems, hardware, and test teams. On-site role requiring active Top Secret clearance and ability to obtain SAP/PAR.

Develop, execute, and automate tests for embedded Core BSP platforms and device drivers. Troubleshoot driver interactions with modem and multimedia apps, profile and optimize CPU, power and performance, and collaborate with developers and system engineers. Build test automation (C/Perl/Tcl) and perform hands-on lab debugging.

Manage a team of 10-15 embedded software engineers while performing as a technical contributor (~80% program work). Responsibilities include staffing, performance management, career development, process improvement, and ensuring engineering execution for communications systems (Link 16, SDRs, avionics). Must support program delivery, hiring, training, and maintain software engineering excellence.

Design, implement, and deliver enterprise Java/JEE solutions and GUIs in an Agile environment. Collaborate with systems engineering, DevSecOps, test automation, and cloud teams across the SDLC. Develop microservices and SOA-based systems, use OOP and design patterns, integrate web services/JMS/XML technologies, and support build/test/release. Must work on-site and meet government security and SAP access requirements.

Design, automate, and operate scalable NoSQL, streaming, and caching platforms across AWS/GCP using IaC. Build observability, SLIs/SLOs, self-healing and auto-scaling systems, lead incident response and root-cause remediation, apply AI/ML for automation, and mentor engineers to improve platform reliability and developer self-service.

Design, build, and maintain cloud-native backend applications using C#/.NET on AWS. Leverage Claude for AI-assisted coding, participate in design and code reviews, improve performance and reliability, and mentor engineers while collaborating across product and architecture teams.

Design, develop, and test embedded software for vehicle charging and power systems; integrate supplier subsystems; produce requirements, design docs, and test plans; collaborate cross-functionally across engineering teams; participate in prototyping through validation for safe, production-quality vehicle power control.

Design, implement, debug, and validate real-time embedded software and board support packages across multiple platforms. Enable bring-up of new hardware, build low-level frameworks and drivers, collaborate with electrical and validation engineers, and support the full software development lifecycle for Zoox vehicle platforms.

Design, develop, and test real-time embedded firmware in C/C++ for battery management systems (cell balancing, charging, thermal management, contactor control). Integrate supplier subsystems, perform hardware bring-up and debugging, create requirements/design/test documentation, and collaborate with cross-functional vehicle, controls, and validation teams through the software development lifecycle.

Build and operate GovCloud production infrastructure and Kubernetes clusters, own GitOps CI/CD, observability, security/compliance (SOC2/CMMC/FedRAMP), contribute backend code (Python/TypeScript), and improve developer experience and resilience.

As a Staff Software Engineer at AoPS, you will architect and build engaging software for students, drive improvements in legacy systems, mentor teammates, and communicate effectively with stakeholders.

As a Senior Embedded Software Engineer, you will design secure embedded software for satellite avionics, leading development and mentoring junior engineers while collaborating with hardware teams.

Design and build developer-facing infrastructure and tools to enable reliable, reproducible CI/CD for safety-critical flight software. Provision and manage AWS and on-prem resources with Terraform, integrate CI pipelines (GitHub Actions), support SIL/HITL testbeds, bridge embedded flight software with simulation and IT, and automate workflows with scripting and Linux administration.

The Senior Flight Software Engineer will develop and integrate embedded software for satellite systems, ensuring successful hardware validation, product delivery, and support throughout the entire lifecycle.
