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

Design, develop, and maintain platform firmware, BMC/OpenBMC management stacks, and FPGA/CPLD logic for board bring-up and system management. Own low-level boot sequencing, debug CPU/GPU/PCIe/hardware interactions, implement Redfish/IPMI interfaces, and build fault recovery, secure boot, and autonomous reboot systems for orbital deployments.

Manage high-volume accounts payable including two- and three-way matching, invoice investigation and resolution, vendor master maintenance, payment runs (ACH/wire/check), expense reimbursements, month-end/year-end AP reconciliations, 1099 and tax filings, audit recordkeeping, vendor communication, and process improvement to strengthen internal controls.

Lead end-to-end development of precision gimbal mechanisms for laser communications payloads, including design, analysis, procurement, integration, and qualification. Define performance requirements, perform mechanism-level analysis, manage suppliers, develop test and qualification plans, and collaborate with optics, controls, and systems teams to deliver flight-qualified hardware.

Design, develop, and validate board-level RF hardware for free-space optical communications up to 50 Gbps. Own RF driver/receiver circuitry, high-speed RF/analog PCB layout, signal integrity analysis, simulation and lab characterization. Collaborate with optics, mechanical, firmware, and systems teams to integrate and flight-qualify RF/optical subsystems and support testing, troubleshooting, and documentation.

Design, build, and qualify high-power fiber laser and amplifier systems and fiber-optic subsystems for space applications. Characterize lasers (linewidth, phase noise, RIN), model nonlinear effects, perform fiber splicing and assembly, design coherent receivers, and execute optical test plans and documentation for space qualification.

Lead end-to-end system integration and validation of electro-mechanical and avionics hardware. Design and build test infrastructure, develop automated and manual procedures, run environmental and functional tests, debug electrical systems, perform failure analysis, support flight qualification and launch readiness, and collaborate with hardware, firmware, and software teams to improve test coverage and reliability.

Design, build, and maintain spacecraft and ground software including flight software, simulations, mission control, and test tooling. Integrate and debug hardware-software systems, support on-orbit operations, and contribute to system architecture and launch preparation.

Design, develop, and test high-reliability, low-latency flight and mission software across embedded and ground systems. Implement C&DH, FDIR, secure communications, simulation and hardware-in-the-loop testing, maintain documentation, and support CI/CD and cross-team integration for satellite operations.
