Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs in San Francisco Bay Area, CA

Lead technical development and integration of a defense aircraft across propulsion, structures, avionics, flight controls, testing, and certification. Serve as design authority, translate customer requirements, mitigate technical risks, coordinate cross-functional teams, and mentor engineering staff to deliver safe, mission-capable aircraft on schedule and budget.

Own and operate Teamcenter, NX, and related PLM systems; architect workflows, standards, and automation; integrate PLM with ERP and enterprise tools; troubleshoot user and system issues; support engineering, manufacturing, and supply chain; define long-term roadmap while executing day-to-day administration and development.

Design and deliver high-density, high-reliability power converters through full product lifecycle: concept, component selection, schematic/layout, bring-up, testing, manufacturing, and flight support while collaborating across disciplines on propulsion and generation systems.

Lead propulsion hardware design from concept through flight qualification and integration. Perform design trade studies, detailed CAD design, structural/thermal/fluid analyses, prototype assembly and tooling, test hardware, analyze data, diagnose issues, and present design reviews.

Design, analyze, and validate propulsion systems from prototype through flight qualification and vehicle integration. Perform detailed structural, thermal, and fluid analyses, present design reviews, assemble prototypes and tooling, create work instructions, run hardware tests, analyze test data, and diagnose and correct hardware issues.

Design and deliver mechanical and fluid system components from concept through production and flight. Perform trade studies, detailed CAD designs, and structural/thermal/fluid analyses. Collaborate with propulsion, structures, avionics, controls, and manufacturing teams, work with suppliers, develop and run hardware test plans, support prototyping, vehicle builds, ground and flight testing, and participate in technical reviews and safety/hazard analyses.

Design and analyze composite and metallic structures for aircraft, perform CAD modeling, support structural layout and collaborate with teams across disciplines.

Lead the rotordynamic analysis of turbomachinery systems, manage critical speed predictions, and collaborate on mechanical and thermal management, ensuring precision in both testing and production.

Execute tactical procurement for prototyping, testing, propulsion, and manufacturing teams: source parts, manage RFQs/POs, track deliveries, drive supplier schedules, vet vendors, and mitigate supply chain risks while partnering with engineering and manufacturing.

Design, analyze, build, and test high-speed power transmission systems (geartrains, shafts, bearings, lubrication) for turboelectric propulsion. Perform gear calculations, rotordynamic and NVH analysis, define and run qualification tests, instrument hardware, anchor simulations to test data, and collaborate with propulsion, aircraft, and test teams to validate performance.
