Jobs at K2 Space Corporation

Provide high-touch support to senior leadership by managing complex calendars, communications, and logistics; proactively solve scheduling and operational challenges; leverage AI and productivity tools to streamline research and drafting; track cross-functional project timelines and action items; own executive travel and meeting logistics; and identify process improvements to increase team efficiency.

Own quality and reliability across satellite build programs from receiving inspection through integration, test, and launch handoff. Lead failure investigations, root cause analysis, corrective actions, and containment. Develop quality processes, PFMEAs, and metrics; embed quality into manufacturing and design. Support change control, build dashboards, and represent build reliability at design and readiness reviews to enable high-rate, mission-ready satellite production.

Design, deploy, and maintain cloud and on-prem infrastructure with IaC; scale and operate mission-critical services; automate tooling and self-service platforms; collaborate with engineering teams to ensure high availability, reliability, security, and resiliency for vehicle and non-vehicle software systems.

Lead discovery, design, implementation, and vendor management for enterprise platforms connecting engineering, manufacturing, finance, and mission operations. Translate business problems into roadmaps, oversee COTS ERP/CRM integrations, lead data validation and UAT, manage upgrades and change control, document architectures, and apply AI/emerging tech to accelerate outcomes while coordinating cross-functional stakeholders.

Design, build, and qualify precision optomechanical structures for space payloads. Mount and align lenses and mirrors, ensure structural and thermal stability through launch and on-orbit, perform analysis and testing (vibration, thermal-vac, modal), lead design reviews, iterate prototypes, and collaborate with optical, thermal, GNC, metrology, and manufacturing teams to deliver flight hardware.

Design, build, and operate a self-service platform on Amazon EKS enabling multi-tenancy, automated scaling, observability, AI-assisted development, guardrails, resilient traffic paths, cost optimization, and developer golden-paths. Mentor engineers, drive platform roadmap, and implement IaC, GitOps, and CI/CD automation.

Lead mission-level engineering for national security programs: define and negotiate mission concepts, perform payload-to-bus compatibility and architecture studies, coordinate cross-functional engineering teams, manage customer technical engagements, and produce system-level technical documentation and requirements.

Lead EMI/EMC testing for satellite electronics, define compliance standards, collaborate with engineers to improve designs, and manage test campaigns for certification.

Lead manufacturability and production ramp for large satellite subsystems: define production-ready build flows, tooling, and capacity; lead first-article builds and flight hardware integration; deploy advanced manufacturing and automation; mentor junior engineers; drive DFM and continuous improvement to reduce cost, risk, and cycle time.

The Senior HR Business Partner will shape K2 Space's culture and people strategy, ensuring compliance with labor laws and fostering a positive work environment.

Lead DFT architecture and implementation for complex mixed-signal SoCs. Responsible for RTL-level scan and BIST insertion, ATPG flow development and coverage closure, mixed-signal test strategies, DFT verification and signoff, silicon bring-up support, and methodology/automation improvements while collaborating with design, verification, and physical design teams.

The Senior Satellite Mechanical Engineer will lead the design and analysis of mechanical structures for satellites, collaborating with cross-functional teams, and managing hardware development and testing.

Define and execute verification plans for block-to-full-chip ASICs using SystemVerilog/UVM. Build testbenches, assertions, constrained-random and directed tests, manage regressions and CI, run simulations, triage failures, close coverage, and support silicon bring-up and post-silicon debug while collaborating across architecture, RTL, DFT, firmware, and physical design teams.

Develop manufacturability and production processes for large satellite structures and electromechanical subassemblies. Build first articles and prototypes, design tooling and MES-supported workflows, implement wire harness and PCBA assembly techniques, iterate subassembly and production flows, and transition methods to volume manufacturing in collaboration with design teams.

Design, test, and implement critical electronics for K2 Space satellites, involving PCB design, environmental testing, and integration with spacecraft systems.

Lead bus-level design integration and program execution for satellite platforms. Manage schedules, requirements, risk mitigation, cross-functional engineering, and flight readiness to deliver reliable missions on time.

The Senior Design Reliability Engineer will develop design review processes, ensure compliance with reliability standards, and manage project documentation for spacecraft design.

The COMSEC Manager oversees the organization's COMSEC program, ensuring compliance and safeguarding classified information while managing COMSEC account activities and providing security awareness.

The Senior Navigation & Guidance Engineer will lead spacecraft GNC architecture, develop algorithms, and support flight readiness and operations for K2's satellite systems.

The Principal Development Test Engineer will lead mechanical structures testing, design test setups, validate designs, and mentor the team, driving best practices company-wide.
