Job description

The Role 

Critical to achieving K2's vision of deploying at scale across MEO, GEO, cis-lunar, and deep space are the solar arrays. As a Solar Engineer, you will contribute to the design, manufacturing, testing, and deployment of high-power solar arrays for some of the largest spacecraft ever flown. You'll work across technical domains; from module technology and electrical power systems to deployment mechanisms, structures, and production - learning from experienced engineers while taking on meaningful ownership of hardware from day one. 

First 6 months: Support solar array subsystem development through analysis, component-level testing, and manufacturing process documentation. 

First year: Own specific build and test activities for flight hardware, from assembly through acceptance testing. 

First two years: Contribute to full lifecycle solar array development across multiple vehicle builds, developing expertise in both design and production. 

Responsibilities 

  • Support the design and analysis of solar array electrical and mechanical subsystems 
  • Assist in the development and maintenance of electrical performance degradation models across environment variations 
  • Execute assembly-level acceptance and qualification test procedures and document results 
  • Collaborate with avionics, structures/mechanisms, software, and production teams on integration activities and test campaigns 
  • Support design reviews with analysis products and test data 
  • Contribute to manufacturing processes for in-house fabrication and assembly, including work instructions, in-process checkouts, and end-of-line testing 
  • Participate in on-orbit data review and anomaly investigation efforts 

Qualifications 

  • Bachelor's degree in physics, materials science, mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, electrical engineering, or a related technical field 
  • Internship in at least one of: photovoltaics, power systems, or materials characterization 
  • Hands-on hardware experience through internships, research, design competitions, or extracurricular projects 

Nice to Have 

  • Internship or research experience with solar arrays or power systems for space applications 
  • Exposure to solar cell or module characterization techniques (IV curves, electroluminescence, flash testing) 
  • Familiarity with structural analysis tools (Nastran, ANSYS, or equivalent) or thermal analysis tools 
  • Familiarity with space environment effects on materials, including radiation, thermal cycling, and atomic oxygen 
  • Experience with CAD software (NX, CATIA, SolidWorks) and practical GD&T application 
  • Exposure to manufacturing processes such as soldering, layup, or electromechanical assembly 
  • Python or MATLAB proficiency for data analysis 
  • Independent and self-motivated mindset with strong organizational, written, and oral communication skills 

Compensation and Benefits: 

  • Base salary range for this role is $100,000 - $140,000 + equity in the company 
  • Salary and level 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
