Jobs at K2 Space Corporation

Lead procurement strategy and execution for mechanical hardware, managing supplier lifecycle, BOMs, contracts, purchasing transactions, and cross-functional alignment to meet cost, schedule, and quality targets for satellite programs.

Lead design, analysis, qualification, and production readiness of turbomachinery (turbopumps) for spacecraft active thermal control. Own concept-to-integration lifecycle, perform rotor dynamics, hydraulic, structural and thermal-fluid analyses, define test and qualification plans, and partner with cross-functional teams to support manufacturing, testing, and flight validation at production scale.

Lead design, analysis, qualification, and production of turbopumps and fluid-loop mechanisms for spacecraft active thermal control. Perform rotor-dynamics, bearing/seal, hydraulic, structural, and thermal-fluid analyses; define test and qualification plans; partner with thermal, avionics, structures, and production teams; and own requirements, design reviews, manufacturing trades, and high-volume production deliverables.

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.

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.

Responsible for architecting and governing secure, high-performance network environments across various infrastructures, mentoring engineers, and defining strategic networking initiatives.

The Senior Network Engineer will design and operate network infrastructure for satellite development, manage network operations, and ensure security and performance across cloud and on-premise environments.

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

Responsible for designing, testing, and flying electronics for K2 Space satellites, including hardware qualification and integration into spacecraft systems.

Lead the development of production automation for satellite manufacturing, involving design, implementation, and mentorship of engineers while enhancing production reliability and efficiency.

The Senior Electro-Mechanical Test Engineer will lead testing across electromechanical systems, develop test infrastructure, and mentor team members while ensuring production efficiency and validating designs through testing.

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.

Develop reliable software solutions for K2 Space's satellite operations, collaborating with engineers and leaders to improve design and operations.

Lead ground-side test campaigns for satellites, mentor team members, and ensure systems operate flawlessly. Oversee test plans and manage relationships with various stakeholders.

Manage and optimize the end-to-end supply chain for satellites, including procurement, supplier management, and inventory optimization, ensuring timely delivery and compliance with company standards.

Design, test, and fly electronics for satellites. Responsibilities include PCB design, environmental testing, and hardware integration.

The role focuses on designing and developing software test frameworks, building automation tooling, and collaborating with engineers to ensure robust flight software deployment and testing for spacecraft systems.

The role involves collaborating with design engineers, developing manufacturing methods for spacecraft, and creating custom tools and processes for advanced satellite manufacturing.

The role involves mechanical design and analysis for a high-powered electric propulsion system, managing vendors, testing hardware, and validating designs through production and flight.
