Top Engineering Jobs in San Francisco, CA

Lead design and development of aerostructures from concept through production, ensuring structural integrity, manufacturability, and system integration. Manage cross-functional teams, apply composite and metallic structural knowledge, oversee release processes, and support testing and production readiness for autonomous aircraft.

Perform finite element modeling and structural analyses (static, modal, fatigue, vibration) for UAV airframes; validate FEA with hand calculations and test data; develop test plans, define load cases and material properties, optimize structures for weight and strength, and document technical recommendations.

Design, develop, and field high-performance Ground Control Station and C2 software using C++/Qt/QML and QGroundControl. Lead architecture and technical direction, mentor engineers, define APIs/ICDs, debug integration/latency issues, support field tests, implement post-mission debrief tools, and ensure interoperability with C2 standards.

Design and develop primary and secondary structural components for a next-generation UAV platform from concept through production. Create CAD models and drawings, perform hand calculations and basic FEA, collaborate with cross-functional teams for system integration, support structural testing and validation, resolve manufacturing and flight-test issues, and produce engineering documentation in compliance with aerospace standards.

Design and develop primary and secondary structural components for a next-generation UAV. Perform CAD modeling, hand calculations, limited FEA, generate drawings and documentation, support validation and testing, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and iterate hardware through manufacturing and flight tests.

Manage a team of engineers developing autonomy applications, focusing on customer use cases, operational readiness, and training material creation.
