Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 full physical design flow for complex SoC blocks and top-level integration—from synthesis through GDSII—achieving timing closure, PPA optimization, sign-off (DRC/LVS, IR/EM, power), automation and scripting, vendor coordination, ECO/tapeout support, and production/spaceflight support for mixed-signal, space-qualified SoCs.

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