Job description

K2 is building the largest and highest-power satellites ever flown, unlocking performance levels previously out of reach across every orbit. Backed by over $1 billion in total funding from leading investors including Altimeter Capital, ICONIQ, Kleiner Perkins, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Redpoint Ventures, and T. Rowe Price - and with over $1 billion in signed contracts across commercial and US government customers, we're mass-producing the highest-power satellite platforms ever built for missions from LEO to deep space.
The rise of heavy-lift launch vehicles is shifting the industry from an era of mass constraint to one of mass abundance, and we believe this new era demands a fundamentally different class of spacecraft. Engineered to survive the harshest radiation environments and to fully capitalize on today's and tomorrow's massive rockets, K2 satellites deliver unmatched capability at constellation scale and across multiple orbits.
With multiple launches in 2027 and plans to scale to 100 satellites a year, we're Building Bigger - helping develop the solar system and build toward a Kardashev Type II (K2) civilization. If you are a motivated individual who thrives in a fast-paced environment and you're excited about contributing to the success of a high-growth Series D-funded company, we'd love for you to apply.
The Role
You'll be at the heart of bringing flight hardware to life. Embedded in the day-to-day build of solar modules and photovoltaic arrays, you'll work side-by-side with technicians and senior engineers to turn design into reality. From shaping build processes to solving hands-on manufacturing challenges in real time, your work will directly impact the performance and reliability of hardware destined for space.
This role is built for someone who learns quickly, thrives in a fast-paced environment, and wants to take ownership early. You'll develop deep technical intuition, contribute to systems that scale, and grow into increasingly complex challenges as we push towards higher-rate production in an environment unlike anywhere else.
Responsibilities
  • Support assembly and build of solar modules, photovoltaic array subassemblies, and related hardware to documented process procedures
  • Identify and escalate build anomalies, non-conformances, and process deviations, supporting root cause investigations
  • Work closely with Quality and Production teams to maintain build cadence and ensure hardware meets acceptance criteria
  • Support tooling inspection, maintenance, and readiness activities for solar manufacturing operations
  • Create custom tools and processes to support the manufacturing technologies you create including Manufacturing Execution System (MES) software
  • Contribute to continuous improvement efforts by flagging friction points in existing processes and proposing solutions
  • Develop and maintain work instructions, process documentation, and build procedures

Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in mechanical, manufacturing, aerospace, materials or other relevant engineering discipline
  • 2+ years of experience in a high-volume manufacturing, production, or hands-on engineering environment
  • Strong hands-on aptitude and willingness to work directly with hardware on the production floor
  • Exposure to precision assembly or electromechanical integration processes
  • Ability to read engineering drawings, schematics, and technical documentation
  • Experience setting up a manufacturing/production floor for first article builds

Nice to Have
  • Hands-on experience with solar handling, lamination, or photovoltaic module assembly
  • Exposure to space, defense, or other high-reliability manufacturing environments
  • Experience designing hardware for manufacturability
  • Demonstrated experience developing production processes from the ground up including driving design improvements for manufacturing
  • Experience working closely with technicians and build tooling
  • Familiarity with CAD software (NX or equivalent) and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T)
  • Experience working with MES to set up the foundation for procedure creation and documenting non-conformances

Compensation and Benefits:
  • Base salary range for this role is $100,000 - $140,000 + equity in the company
  • Salary will be based on several factors including, but not limited to: knowledge and skills, education, and experience level
  • Comprehensive benefits package including paid time off, medical/dental/vision/ coverage, life insurance, paid parental leave, and many other perks

If you don't meet 100% of the preferred skills and experience, we encourage you to still apply! Building a spacecraft unlike any other requires a team unlike any other and non-traditional career twists and turns are encouraged!
If you need a reasonable accommodation as part of your application for employment or interviews with us, please let us know.
Export Compliance
As defined in the ITAR, "U.S. Persons" include U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents (i.e., Green Card holders), and certain protected individuals (e.g., refugees/asylees, American Samoans). Please consult with a knowledgeable advisor if you are unsure whether you are a "U.S. Person."
The person hired for this role will have access to information and items controlled by U.S. export control regulations, including the export control regulations outlined in the International Traffic in Arms Regulation (ITAR). The person hired for this role must therefore either be a "U.S. person" as defined by 22 C.F.R. § 120.15 or otherwise eligible for a federally issued export control license.
Equal Opportunity
K2 Space is an Equal Opportunity Employer; employment with K2 Space is governed on the basis of merit, competence and qualifications and will not be influenced in any manner by race, color, religion, gender, national origin/ethnicity, veteran status, disability status, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, mental or physical disability or any other legally protected status.
