Top Engineering Jobs in San Francisco, CA

Lead systems engineering for Hivemind-based autonomy products: define and manage requirements, develop system architectures and trade studies, coordinate hardware/software interfaces, support integration/verification/validation and testing, and identify and mitigate technical risks across the system lifecycle.

Lead design and prototyping of generative AI experiences for autonomy development; drive UX for Hivemind products; perform user research, collaborate with CTO and product leads, and deliver reference implementations and integrations across full-stack web and edge systems.

Lead integration and validation of the Hivemind autonomy stack across simulation, HIL, and flight platforms. Configure sensors, drivers, communication interfaces, and platform adapters; develop integration tooling and CI/CD; analyze logs/rosbag to triage defects; collaborate with engineering and product teams to ensure interoperability, release readiness, and end-to-end system compliance.

Design, implement, and deploy real-time state estimation and sensor-fusion algorithms for autonomous UAVs (IMU, GNSS, visual odometry, radar). Build robust sensor pipelines, conduct simulation/lab/field testing, optimize for constrained hardware, and collaborate across autonomy, software, and hardware teams to transition research into fielded navigation solutions.

Lead integration, validation, and fielding of advanced weapon capabilities on X-Bat across the full lifecycle. Define system behaviors and architectures, coordinate cross-functional integration, support lab/ground/flight tests, perform troubleshooting and root-cause analysis to reduce integration risk and accelerate capability delivery.

Lead design and development of advanced electrical systems for autonomous aircraft, including circuit and subsystem design, part selection, schematic capture, simulation, verification, debugging, and production releases. Integrate embedded systems and sensors for autonomy, coordinate cross-functional teams, mentor engineers, define technical requirements, and develop automated test solutions to improve hardware reliability and production readiness.

Lead design and optimization of low-observable aircraft features, perform electromagnetic signature modeling and simulation, direct RCS testing and validation, partner with materials and multidisciplinary teams to mature RAM and coatings, translate threats into survivability features, and support program assessments and milestone decisions.

Drive supplier development for electronic assemblies (PCBA/SMT): audit processes, resolve manufacturing defects, perform root-cause analysis and corrective actions, enforce IPC/J-STD standards, support NPI, monitor supplier performance, and mitigate supply chain risk with frequent supplier travel.

Lead supplier development for machined parts: audit and improve supplier processes, perform on-site quality investigations, support NPI, provide technical guidance on specifications and manufacturing, monitor supplier performance, and mitigate supply chain risks to enable scalable aerospace production.

Design and implement full‑stack, low‑latency web-based Ground Control Station and C2 systems (map-centric UIs, real-time telemetry, video streaming), lead architecture and APIs, mentor engineers, support field tests and mission deployments, and ensure interoperability with C2 standards.
