Engineering Structures Jobs No Experience Jobs in Pacifica, CA

Who We Are:

17A is a new type of management consulting firm. We come from places like McKinsey, Palantir, JP Morgan Philanthropies, and venture-backed Healthcare startups. We share a common goal: improving the quality of government and social services. 17A believes that trust in government is something to be continuously built and earned, through strong service delivery.

We have a dynamic core team, and partner with Consultants, known internally as Project-Based Team Members, to bring the best combination of expertise to what we do. Our team has varied skills from a range of industries and experiences, including management consulting, technology and analytics, and public service. If you've spent the early part of your career in consulting or a fast-paced analytical environment and you're ready to apply those skills to something with direct civic impact, 17A is for you.

The Opportunity:

17A is supporting a large Bay Area county agency on a technology and digital services transformation effort. This is a fully embedded, on-site role — not parachuting in. You'll work inside the agency's digital innovation team, sitting alongside Deputy-level leadership to help the county deliver on its mission to make government more human, more responsive, and more digital. This position is a contract role with the potential to convert to full-time after a few months.

This agency has taken a distinctive approach to transformation: rather than buying expensive new systems and hoping for the best, it's doing the hard, human-centered work of dismantling bureaucracy, redesigning how services are delivered, and building a digital culture from the inside. A core initiative — which brings departments through rapid, structured sprints to identify and address service delivery friction — will be a major focus of this role.

This is a chief-of-staff style position for a sharp, early-career operator ready to take on real ownership. You'll help senior leaders turn strategy into action — managing complex initiatives across departments, facilitating working sessions, and communicating progress clearly to executive and operational audiences.

What You'll Do

• Serve in a chief-of-staff capacity to Deputy-level leaders within the innovation team, helping translate priorities into structured plans and concrete next steps
• Support coordination and execution of digital transformation sprints, including logistics, stakeholder engagement, documentation, and follow-through on recommendations
• Facilitate working sessions with department staff and senior leaders to map current-state processes, identify friction points, and co-design improvements
• Lead and coordinate cross-functional workstreams, tracking progress, surfacing blockers, and keeping stakeholders aligned across a large, multi-department organization
• Prepare executive-level communications including briefings, memos, presentations, and decision documents for senior agency leadership
• Conduct rapid research and analysis to support emerging decisions and evolving priorities
• Help build the internal documentation, playbooks, and operational systems the innovation team needs to scale its impact countywide
• Operate as a collaborative, low-ego team member who is genuinely embedded in the agency's culture and mission

Who You Are

You're 1–2 years into your career and you're looking for a role where you can do meaningful work and see the results directly. You might be a current or former:

• Business Analyst or Associate at a management consulting firm
• Fellow or analyst at a public sector-focused organization (e.g., a government innovation lab, a civic tech organization, or a public agency)
• Analyst in a fast-paced, mission-driven environment where you built strong project management and communication muscles

The Skillset:

You'll thrive in this role if you:

• Are energized by the mission — you genuinely care about improving how government works and the people it serves
• Are comfortable operating with ambiguity and building structure where there isn't any yet
• Have strong project management instincts and can keep multiple workstreams moving simultaneously
• Can communicate clearly and credibly with both frontline staff and senior leaders
• Understand that real transformation requires engineering culture, not just deploying technology
• Are ready to be embedded — not just advisory — and want to see the direct impact of your work
• Are based in or willing to relocate to the Bay Area

Bonus if you have:

• Familiarity with local or county government operations
• Experience with digital services, human-centered design, or service delivery improvement
• Prior exposure to process redesign, organizational change, or operational improvement
• Interest in civic technology and the future of public service delivery

Location:

This position is based out of San Francisco, California and you must reside within the area. If you are interested in remote-only opportunities, please consider joining our Network for future roles.

Compensation:

Due to the nature of our business and the clients that we partner with, compensation for this position (and all of our opportunities) depends on the skillset, tenure, and experience that you possess. This specific position has a range of 90,000- 110,000 annually. Depending on the type of work you do with us, you may be eligible to receive medical benefits and other perks.

Accommodation Statement:

Improving public service delivery requires a team with diverse backgrounds and perspectives. We are an equal opportunity employer committed to diversity and inclusion.

This role is ideal for someone who loves making complex things run smoothly and wants meaningful exposure to strategy, partnerships, and startup execution.

• Prepare simple print and demo materials 
• Maintain organized digital files and shared assets 
• Suggest improvements and build systems for effective work and collaboration & to streamline processes, e.g. using AI tools 
• Coordinate pickups and deliveries tied to food production and events, ensuring smooth logistics across kitchens, partners, and internal teams 
• Drive materials between San Francisco, East Bay, and San Jose when needed 

Keep the Commercial Engine Running 

• Coordinate meetings and follow-ups 
• Support sales operations including customer communications, tracking 
• Maintain organized systems for opportunities, materials, and information 
• Support the commercial leadership with calendar management and scheduling, occasional travel scheduling 

Who Thrives Here 

You might be a great fit if you: 

• Have event management and/or executive assistance experience (5+ years preferred)
• Enjoy both planning and hands-on execution 
• Take pride in details others miss 
• Have a creative eye for all things hospitality 
• Naturally bring structure to fast-moving environments 
• Communicate clearly and follow through reliably 
• Have direct experience in food / hospitality 
• Care about sustainability and mission-driven work 

What We Value 

• Ownership over rigid job boundaries

• Building something meaningful with a small, committed team 

Practical Details 

• Bay Area–based role, preferred around San Francisco, CA

About Straia

At Straia, we’re building the AI-native intelligence layer for colleges and universities.

Today, colleges run on dozens of disconnected systems, forcing staff to spend hundreds of hours manually reconciling data, compiling reports, and tracking down insights. Straia changes that. We unify institutional data and layer on AI agents that answer questions, generate insights/visualizations, and automate repetitive workflows, transforming how colleges operate.

Over time, Straia will evolve into the core intelligence layer for institutional operations, where every function, from student advising to admissions to budgeting and resource planning, is supported by collaborative AI agents that understand each institution’s unique data landscape.

We recently raised our pre-seed from a16z, Reach Capital, and JFF Ventures, and are now hiring a founding backend engineer to help build the technical backbone of how institutions interact with their data.

The Role

As a Founding Engineer at Straia, you’ll work directly with a small team including directly with our CEO (Ryan), CTO (Alan) and CPO (Nikki) to design, build, and scale the core infrastructure of our platform.

This is a 0 → 1 opportunity to shape not just the product, but the engineering culture, architecture, and trajectory of the company. You’ll ship fast, make key technical decisions, and help define how AI can power the next generation of enterprise data intelligence.

We’re specifically looking for someone who consistently raises the bar. The kind of engineer whose default speed and judgment increase the velocity of everyone around them. If you thrive when expectations are high and the pace is fast, you’ll feel right at home

• Ship end-to-end features across our React + Node.js + Postgres stack, integrating directly with LLMs like GPT, Gemini, and Claude
• Scale infrastructure on GCP for performance, reliability, and data security
• Collaborate with users (university data teams and administrators) to translate real problems into elegant, powerful solutions
• Lay the foundation for Straia’s engineering culture, best practices, and technical roadmap
• Prototype fast, iterate faster — your work will directly shape how education leaders experience AI in their daily decision-making

Who You Are

• 4–7 years of experience building and shipping full-stack applications, with a strong emphasis on backend systems (Node.js, TypeScript, Postgres).
• Deeply technical, with a track record of building scalable, high-quality software
• Startup-minded — you thrive in ambiguity, love building from scratch, and see constraints as creative fuel
• Mission-driven — excited to improve education through technology that makes institutions smarter, faster, and more equitable
• Collaborative and high-agency — you take initiative, value clear communication, and have the instincts of an owner, not an employee
• AI-curious or experienced — exposure to LLMs, vector databases, or prompt engineering is a plus

Our Stack

• Frontend: React + Vite
• Backend: Node.js + Express, orchestrating data and AI agent workflows
• Data Layer: Postgres + Caching for fast queries
• LLM Integration: GPT, Gemini, Claude via API
• Cloud & Infra: Hosted on GCP

Why Join Straia

• Be one of the first engineers at a venture-backed AI company redefining institutional intelligence in higher ed
• Shape the core architecture and engineering culture from day one
• Work directly with top-tier investors and advisors from a16z, Reach, and JFF Ventures
• Join a small, fast-moving team that works incredibly hard, ships fast, and still makes time for good food, laughs, and adventures — we take our work seriously, but not ourselves
• Build meaningful technology that directly impacts student success and equity across colleges nationwide

What We Offer

• Compensation: $160K–$225K + equity
• Location: San Francisco (in office 4 days a week)
• Benefits: Health (platinum insurance), dental, and vision

ABOUT RIPPLE MEDICAL

Ripple Medical is a health tech company on a mission to revolutionize hypertension management with our cuffless blood pressure wearable. Once cleared by FDA, our product will enable patients to easily and accurately monitor blood pressure at home, empowering them and their providers with actionable data to improve outcomes. We're a collaborative, mission-driven team of 33 working in a medical device regulatory environment to bring this technology to the millions of patients who can benefit.

POSITION SUMMARY

The Head of Operations and Manufacturing will own the end-to-end operational infrastructure required to bring Ripple's FDA-regulated cuffless blood pressure monitor to market and scale production. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who thrives building from zero to one in a regulated environment: selecting contract manufacturers, standing up supply chains compliant with FDA 21 CFR Part 820, establishing ISO 13485-certified quality management systems, and preparing for direct-to-patient fulfillment.

As a company preparing for 510(k) submission and commercial launch, this role is critical to ensuring we can reliably manufacture and deliver a high-quality, FDA-cleared medical device at scale. The ideal candidate brings deep experience in medical device manufacturing (particularly wearable or electro-optical devices), understands regulated hardware supply chains and design transfer, and can roll up their sleeves while building the team and processes for long-term growth.

This position reports directly to the CEO with high visibility to the leadership team and Board of Directors.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Manufacturing & Production

• Lead selection and onboarding of contract manufacturing partners with Class II medical device experience, including RFQ, quality audits, contract negotiation, and ongoing management.
• Own design transfer and manufacturing transfer, working with engineering on DFM principles, Device Master Record (DMR) requirements, and production readiness.
• Establish production planning, forecasting, and capacity management for V&V builds, pilot production, and volume manufacturing.
• Drive continuous improvement in yield, quality, and cost while maintaining FDA and ISO compliance.
• Oversee pilot runs and scale-up, including process validation (IQ/OQ/PQ) and manufacturing controls.

Supply Chain & Procurement

• Build and manage the end-to-end supply chain, including component sourcing, supplier qualification, and inventory management per FDA purchasing controls.
• Develop supplier relationships and negotiate terms while ensuring supply continuity, traceability, and risk mitigation.
• Implement inventory planning to balance working capital with service levels, including buffer strategies for Year 1 launch.
• Monitor and mitigate supply chain risks: component shortages, single-source dependencies, geopolitical factors, and logistics disruptions.

Quality & Regulatory Compliance

• Maintain and improve the ISO 13485-certified QMS in partnership with the quality and regulatory team, ensuring FDA 21 CFR Part 820 compliance.
• Support 510(k) submission activities related to manufacturing, including process validation documentation, DMR development, and device history records (DHR).
• Define incoming inspection, in-process controls, and final product testing consistent with the risk management file.
• Manage product certifications for a Class II device, including FDA registration, UDI compliance, and applicable international requirements.
• Lead root cause analysis and CAPA for quality issues, ensuring post-market surveillance compliance.

Fulfillment & Logistics

• Design the direct-to-patient fulfillment strategy, including 3PL selection with FDA-cleared Class II device experience.
• Establish logistics and distribution for nationwide shipping of a regulated device with chain-of-custody and traceability.
• Develop returns, replacement, and warranty processes that balance patient experience, cost, and compliance.

Team & Organizational Development

• Start as an individual contributor who executes hands-on, then build and lead the operations team through 510(k) clearance and commercial launch.
• Establish operational metrics and dashboards for manufacturing, supply chain, and quality performance.
• Partner with finance on cost modeling, COGS optimization, and operational budgeting.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, software, regulatory, and commercial teams.

QUALIFICATIONS

• 7-12 years in manufacturing, operations, or supply chain, with 3-5+ years in medical devices (Class II preferred), wearables, or regulated hardware.
• Experience managing contract manufacturers for regulated medical devices, preferably in Asia and/or domestically.
• Experience at or with CMs/EMS providers (Flex, Jabil, Celestica, Plexus, Sanmina) in Class II medical device or wearable programs is a strong plus.
• Track record of design transfer and scaling production from pilot to volume for regulated products.
• ISO 13485 and FDA 21 CFR Part 820 experience required.
