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.

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 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.

Design and implement real-time, fault-tolerant flight software for high-power spacecraft, including control of propulsion, attitude, power, and communications. Build software architecture, state machines, testing and deployment tools, perform data analysis and anomaly investigation, and support integration, verification, and operations on multiple spacecraft.

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 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 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.
