Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs

Develop and extend high-enthalpy CFD solvers for reentry aerothermal analysis, including thermochemical non-equilibrium, finite-rate chemistry, multiphase droplet interactions, and advanced numerical methods. Validate new capabilities against analytical, ground, and flight data, productionize tools, and mentor engineers. The role requires compiled scientific programming, solver development, HPC experience, and eligibility for a U.S. Secret or Top Secret clearance.

Build and maintain automated hardware and software test systems for flight simulation environments. Develop test scripts, equipment API wrappers, hardware emulators, and HIL/SIL workflows. Integrate and troubleshoot prototype electronics, automate provisioning and deployment, and support qualification testing for flight systems. The role requires scripting and embedded programming, Linux experience, hardware integration skills, and eligibility for a U.S. government Secret or Top Secret clearance.

Owns aerospace procurement and supplier management for engineering materials, parts, equipment, and specialized hardware. Responsibilities include supplier qualification, quoting, auditing, documentation compliance, negotiations, expediting, dual sourcing, inventory planning, delivery and quality tracking, and corrective actions. The role serves as the liaison between engineering teams and vendors while ensuring compliance with aerospace, government contracting, procurement, safety, and ITAR requirements.

Leads the Accurate Landing organization and owns the architecture, development, qualification, integration, testing, and deployment of Arc’s autonomous spacecraft landing system. Responsibilities span GNC, avionics, software, mechanisms, parachutes, vehicle integration, flight readiness, recovery operations, drop-test campaigns, verification strategy, and team development. The role requires multidisciplinary engineering leadership, complex aerospace system ownership, high-consequence flight-test experience, and the ability to obtain a U.S. Secret or Top Secret clearance.

Develop and test production-quality software for spacecraft flight systems, ground operations, hardware integration, simulation, and automated testing. Own an engineering project from requirements and design through implementation, validation, deployment, and documentation. Collaborate with flight software, avionics, simulation, and engineering teams while participating in code reviews, debugging, integration testing, and technical presentations.

Build full-stack internal applications, automation platforms, and AI-enabled tools for aerospace engineering and business teams. Own a major software project from requirements through deployment, developing interfaces, backend services, APIs, databases, integrations, and LLM-powered capabilities. Collaborate with stakeholders, gather user feedback, iterate on solutions, and deliver production-quality software.

Generate and maintain aerodynamic force and moment databases across full flight envelopes for reentry vehicles using high-fidelity CFD, lower-order methods, wind tunnel and flight data. Quantify uncertainties, support GNC and simulation teams, automate database generation, and refine models for system-level 3-DOF/6-DOF simulations.

Mechanical Engineering Intern supporting aerospace reentry vehicle hardware from concept through testing and integration. Responsibilities include CAD modeling, engineering drawings, bills of materials, structural and thermal analysis, test planning, hardware assembly, troubleshooting, documentation, and collaboration with manufacturing and integration teams. The role is hands-on and requires in-office presence in Playa Vista, California.

Supports manufacturing, assembly, integration, and testing of hypersonic reentry vehicle subsystems. Responsibilities include developing work instructions, improving processes, reviewing designs for manufacturability, troubleshooting hardware, analyzing manufacturing data, and designing CAD-based tooling, fixtures, and ground support equipment. The intern collaborates with engineers and technicians to transition aerospace designs into reliable, repeatable production processes while meeting quality and schedule requirements.

Support verification, validation, integration, testing, and performance characterization of flight and ground RF and telemetry systems for reentry vehicles. Responsibilities include RF measurements, antenna and GPS integration, ground station compatibility testing, SDR evaluation, test data analysis, report generation, and test automation using Python or MATLAB. The role is hands-on and lab-focused within an aerospace avionics team.
