Jobs at K2 Space Corporation

Design, build, and run avionics and RF test hardware and automation to validate flight avionics. Develop modular test software, lead subsystem test campaigns, perform data acquisition and instrumentation, manage test assets and acceptance testing, and drive production improvements and root-cause investigations for satellite avionics.

Responsible for testing and measuring RF and microwave electronics for high-power satellites. Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams for design and validation.

Lead payload integration across spacecraft lifecycle for national security programs: define/negoti ate interfaces, create verification plans, manage cross-functional integration, support proposals through on-orbit operations, and serve as primary customer technical interface.

Own and improve SMT equipment and processes for high-reliability satellite assemblies. Program, operate, and troubleshoot SMT equipment, optimize solder/reflow/stencil processes, create work instructions and MES traceability, monitor yields and SPC, support QA, testing, and tooling readiness for production.

Partner with manufacturing, engineering, and supply chain to manage product costing, overhead allocation, variance analysis, budgeting, forecasts, and cost models. Drive corrective actions on manufacturing variances, support make/buy and capacity decisions, prepare financial analyses for pricing and bids, and maintain disciplined financial controls and reconciliations.

Develop and verify software for spacecraft operations, manage propulsion and control systems, design software architecture, and ensure fault tolerance and reliability in demanding missions.

As a Senior Application Software Engineer, you will design and develop mission-critical software for satellite operations, collaborating with cross-functional teams to improve efficiency, scale, and support ambitious missions.

As a Principal Application Software Engineer, you will design mission-critical software for satellite design and production, improve operations, and mentor staff.

Develop and verify FPGA firmware for spacecraft systems, including payload and propulsion control. Requires ownership of architecture and integration of complex logic systems.

As a Payload Integration Engineer, you will manage payload integration for satellites, collaborate with customers, and ensure technical alignment across engineering teams throughout the satellite lifecycle.

Design hardware for a propulsion system, own mechanical designs, manage vendors, validate designs, and conduct testing for satellite propulsion.

The role involves owning mechanical structures and electromechanical subsystems for satellite operations, collaborating on design and development processes, and validating designs through prototype iterations.

The role involves leading satellite test operations, analyzing spacecraft systems, and engaging in mission operations. You'll design test procedures and interface with customers to ensure payload functionality.

Responsible for designing and fabricating tooling for satellite production, validating tooling through testing, and leading the development of production fixtures.

As a Spacecraft Program Manager, you will drive mission success for National Security space programs, oversee program execution, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure alignment with mission requirements and customer expectations.

The role involves defining mission operations, developing monitoring strategies, collaborating with teams for operational readiness, and managing satellite operations and testing procedures.

Design high-powered power electronics systems for spacecraft, including prototype development, environmental testing, and qualification for flight.

The Senior Tooling Engineer will design and fabricate tooling systems for satellite production, leading development, conducting analysis, and supporting ground testing. They will work collaboratively with production teams and help shape tooling strategies for scaling operations.

Own and produce technical and proposal documentation across the business lifecycle: translate complex spacecraft and mission engineering into clear, compliant proposals, technical deliverables, and marketing collateral; lead proposal coordination, compliance matrices, and on-time submissions while managing multiple SMEs, documents, and deadlines in a fast-paced startup.

The Program Manager will define and execute K2 Space's commercial business vision, managing projects and customer relationships in the space industry.
