Lead K2 Space’s California state and local government affairs strategy. Build relationships with legislators, regulators, agency officials, and Los Angeles-area stakeholders; brief policymakers and VIPs; monitor legislative and regulatory developments; coordinate official factory visits and relevant events; represent K2 in government engagements; and collaborate with communications and government affairs teams to advance company growth and navigate policy hurdles.

Own financial forecasting, reporting, cost and revenue tracking for customer programs. Translate engineering and production requirements into financial models, support monthly close and contract financial monitoring, analyze budget and schedule variances, contribute to proposal pricing, and provide decision support to program managers and executives across a complex aerospace manufacturing environment.

Develop and validate satellite dynamics models, simulation tools, and analysis workflows for transportation, launch, deployment, and on-orbit environments. Support dynamic, modal, vibration, shock, jitter, vibroacoustic, and coupled loads analyses; coordinate testing and model correlation; derive engineering requirements and design criteria; and provide data-driven guidance for reliable, mass-producible spacecraft.

Own spacecraft dynamics analyses and testing across transportation, launch, deployment, and on-orbit operations. Develop finite-element physics models, simulation tools, and time- and frequency-domain workflows; derive loads, vibration, shock, acoustic, jitter, and pointing environments. Lead coupled loads, modal, vibroacoustic, and dynamic testing, including model correlation and qualification testing. Provide engineering guidance, document analyses, review code, and collaborate with design teams and customers to deliver reliable, mass-producible satellite platforms.

Own the mechanical design and lifecycle development of spacecraft electric propulsion hardware, including propulsion modules, thruster components, propellant systems, avionics boxes, structures, and tanks. Create models, drawings, and interface documents; conduct analysis; develop and execute tests; iterate prototypes; qualify flight hardware; manage suppliers; and support production, integration, and in-space demonstrations.

Own the mechanical design and lifecycle development of high-power electric propulsion hardware for satellites. Responsibilities include requirements definition, concept development, CAD modeling, detailed analysis, testing, design iteration, vendor management, production support, and qualification of flight hardware. The engineer will design propulsion modules, thruster components, propellant systems, avionics boxes, secondary structures, and potentially tanks, ultimately supporting successful in-space demonstrations.

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

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.

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

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