Jobs at K2 Space Corporation

Lead procurement strategy and execution for mechanical hardware, managing supplier lifecycle, BOMs, contracts, purchasing transactions, and cross-functional alignment to meet cost, schedule, and quality targets for satellite programs.

Lead design, analysis, qualification, and production readiness of turbomachinery (turbopumps) for spacecraft active thermal control. Own concept-to-integration lifecycle, perform rotor dynamics, hydraulic, structural and thermal-fluid analyses, define test and qualification plans, and partner with cross-functional teams to support manufacturing, testing, and flight validation at production scale.

Design and build mission‑critical full‑lifecycle applications connecting engineering, manufacturing, and operations. Lead architecture, deployment, and quality processes; develop prototypes to production, drive data‑led prioritization, mentor staff, and collaborate across teams to scale satellite design, production, and mission operations.

Lead design, analysis, qualification, and production of turbopumps and fluid-loop mechanisms for spacecraft active thermal control. Perform rotor-dynamics, bearing/seal, hydraulic, structural, and thermal-fluid analyses; define test and qualification plans; partner with thermal, avionics, structures, and production teams; and own requirements, design reviews, manufacturing trades, and high-volume production deliverables.

As a Build Engineer, you'll support subsystem builds for the Gravitas satellite, develop integration plans, improve build efficiency, and collaborate with teams on engineering solutions.

Lead end-to-end Type‑1 cryptographic architecture for spacecraft and ground systems, from concept through NSA certification and on‑orbit operations. Define COMSEC, key management/loading, integrate crypto across flight software, avionics, RF, and ground, produce certification artifacts, mitigate cryptographic and supply‑chain risks, and establish reusable standards for high‑volume satellite production.

Lead full physical design flow for complex SoC blocks and top-level integration from synthesis to GDSII. Drive timing closure, PPA optimization, physical sign-off (DRC/LVS, IR drop, EM), ECOs and tapeout. Collaborate with front-end, verification, DFT, packaging teams and external vendors, develop automation and methodology, and support products through production and spaceflight.

Lead manufacturing finance for operations: own product costing, overhead allocation, variance analysis, budgets/forecasts, and cost models to support production, pricing, and bids while partnering with cross-functional teams.

Responsible for architecting and governing secure, high-performance network environments across various infrastructures, mentoring engineers, and defining strategic networking initiatives.

Define and execute verification plans for block-to-full-chip, build SystemVerilog/UVM testbenches, write assertions, run constrained-random and directed tests, manage regressions and CI, perform coverage closure and debug, support silicon bring-up and post-silicon validation, and collaborate across architecture, RTL, DFT, firmware, and physical design teams.

Design and implement low-level, real-time embedded software in Rust/C/C++ for satellite subsystems (propulsion, attitude, power). Lead hardware bring-up, debug complex HW/FW issues with JTAG/SWD and scopes, scale software across products, and mentor engineers to ensure fault-tolerant, flight-ready systems.

Lead ASIC package architecture and detailed FC-BGA/MCM design for high-pin-count, power-dense SoCs. Drive package trade studies (SI/PI, thermal, manufacturability), define standards, partner with silicon/RF teams, engage OSATs and vendors, and support qualification and production ramp.

Lead ASIC package architecture and detailed FC-BGA/MCM package designs for high-pin-count, high-speed, power-dense SoCs. Drive package trade studies (SI/PI, thermal, manufacturability, reliability), define standards, collaborate with silicon/RF/systems teams, work with OSATs and substrate vendors, and support qualification and production ramp.

Build and extend ground software used to build, test, and operate K2 satellites and customer payloads. Collaborate with Mission Operations and Flight Software to design mission architecture; implement backend and frontend features (Rust, TypeScript/Vue); support on-call operations; mentor engineers and participate in design and code reviews to scale mission automation and constellation operations.

The Senior Technical Recruiter will partner with leadership for workforce planning, source candidates, refine hiring processes, and enhance the talent brand for K2 Space.

Responsible for designing, testing, and flying electronics for K2 Space satellites, including hardware qualification and integration into spacecraft systems.

Lead the development of production automation for satellite manufacturing, involving design, implementation, and mentorship of engineers while enhancing production reliability and efficiency.

The Senior Electro-Mechanical Test Engineer will lead testing across electromechanical systems, develop test infrastructure, and mentor team members while ensuring production efficiency and validating designs through testing.

The Build Reliability Manager leads quality and reliability for satellite production, managing a team to establish high reliability manufacturing practices through continuous improvement and effective quality processes.

Lead end-to-end ASIC package architecture for FC-BGA and MCM solutions, driving trade studies, substrate stack-ups, SI/PI and thermal strategy, vendor engagement, qualification, and production ramp while defining organizational packaging standards and co-optimizing with silicon, RF, and systems teams.
