Jobs at K2 Space Corporation

Lead technical procurement and supplier management for mechanical and structural assemblies (motors, bearings, encoders, adhesives). Manage BOMs, develop material planning and supply chain processes, create tools for quality and inventory controls, coordinate clears-to-build with engineering, and run supplier development and reviews from NPI through production.

Lead technical discovery and architect distributed cloud solutions integrating ERP/CRM and enterprise systems. Manage vendor implementations, data validation/UAT, system upgrades, and multi-threaded projects. Communicate complex technical concepts to stakeholders, document architectures, and apply AI/emerging tech to accelerate delivery.

Lead the clean-sheet manufacturing effort for the Pumped Fluid Loop: establish work center, design build flows and tooling, ensure DFM, build prototypes, qualify assemblies (vibration/thermal/leak), implement automation, resolve nonconformances, and scale production capacity and rate strategies.

Lead month-end close and related accounting processes (fixed assets, inventory, revenue & receivables). Prepare journal entries, accruals, and reconciliations; enhance internal controls and chart of accounts; support ERP implementations and UAT; work cross-functionally; liaise with auditors and tax preparers; identify process improvements to ensure accurate, timely financial statements.

Coordinate parts and material flow across Supply Chain, Production, Quality, and Test. Track parts through procurement, kitting, assembly, and integration; manage lineside inventory and audits; reconcile BOM and ERP/MRP data; support receiving, kitting, shipping, and calibrated tool libraries; remove production blockers and support daily execution to meet schedule and quality goals.

Design, implement, and own reliable data solutions across design, manufacturing, and mission operations. Lead data architecture, migrations, ETL/replication, schema design, and optimizations. Partner with cross-functional teams, drive tradeoffs, prioritize work using data, mentor team members, and deliver production-ready data products.

Perform day-to-day operational accounting tasks including month-end close, journal entries, accruals, reconciliations (P2P, fixed assets, leases, treasury), credit card coding, and audit/tax support. Improve internal controls, ensure GAAP compliance, and support ad-hoc finance projects across the company.

The role involves deriving loads for satellites, building software tools, testing hardware, and collaborating on dynamic analyses. Candidates should have strong dynamics experience and engineering insight.

The Senior Development Test Engineer will oversee component and system level testing of mechanical and electromechanical systems, lead test campaigns, and mentor team members while ensuring safety and reliability in test execution.

Serve as primary technical interface for commercial payload integration across proposal, design, build, integration, test, launch, and on-orbit phases. Define and negotiate mechanical, electrical, software, power, and mission interfaces; develop interface control documentation and verification plans; coordinate cross-functional teams and represent K2 in customer design reviews and verification milestones.

Lead end-to-end negotiation and administration of $1B+ in commercial and USG contracts. Draft, review, and negotiate procurement, vendor, subcontract, consulting agreements and NDAs; manage supplier disputes; centralize contract documentation; streamline NDA lifecycle; administer USG contracting compliance including SAM registration and related policies and procedures.

Serve as the technical lead for payload integration across proposal, design, development, integration, test, launch, and on‑orbit operations. Define and negotiate mechanical, electrical, software, power, and mission interfaces, create verification/validation plans, coordinate cross-functional teams, and represent K2 in customer technical engagements and design reviews.

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.

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.

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.

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.
