Key responsibilities

  • Contribute to the development and building of high-power satellite platforms for missions from LEO to deep space.

  • Support the engineering and manufacturing processes necessary to produce large-scale satellite systems.

  • Assist in ensuring satellite designs meet performance, radiation, and launch compatibility requirements.

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.

Stay Connected with K2 Space for Future Job Openings Across Engineering
We're on a mission to push the boundaries of what's possible in space systems and large-scale satellite platforms. Even when we don't have a specific opening listed, we're always eager to connect with innovators, builders, and problem-solvers who share our passion for making space more accessible.

 This is not a job application—it's a way for you to raise your hand and say, "Keep me in the loop." By joining our talent community, you'll:

  • Receive occasional updates about K2 Space projects, milestones, and future opportunities.

  • Be among the first to know when a role opens that might align with your skills and interests.

  • Stay engaged with our growing network of space enthusiasts and professionals.

Who Should Join
We welcome anyone excited about space technology and exploration—engineers, operators, mission designers, business minds, creatives, and everyone in between—who want to be part of K2 Space's journey.

How to Join

  1. Fill out our brief interest form below.

  2. Share a resume and a quick note about your skills, passions, or areas of interest.

  3. We'll keep you on our radar for future opportunities and updates.

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.
