K2 is building the largest and highest-power satellites ever flown, unlocking performance levels previously out of reach across every orbit. Backed by $450M from leading investors including Altimeter Capital, Redpoint Ventures, T. Rowe Price, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Alpine Space Ventures, and others – with an additional $500M 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 planned through 2026 and 2027, we're Building Bigger to develop the solar system and become 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 groundbreaking Series C space startup, we’d love for you to apply.   The Role   You will support assembly and testing of the Mega Class satellite subsystems including batteries, mechanisms, and avionics boxes. This role will support build and thermal ATP of precision flight hardware following detailed procedures and quality standards in a fast-paced production environment. Our ideal candidate is a self-starter and has strong attention to detail to ensure quality and reliability of electro-mechanical components. You will work closely with Engineering and Quality to identify issues early and execute reliable builds.    Responsibilities   Assemble, test, and rework electro-mechanical hardware including batteries, reaction wheels, and flight computers   Follow detailed work instructions and manufacturing procedures, performing all work in the MES system (scanning, material consumption, and built traceability)    Fabricate and terminate small harnesses within assemblies   Support functional testing, environmental testing, and troubleshooting   Set up, operate, and monitor thermal chambers during thermal cycles    Occasionally support component integration onto the satellite bus   Practice 5S principles of organizing and sustaining an efficient and presentable workspace   Provide consistent process improvement feedback to engineering and production leadership   Qualifications   5+ years of experience assembling, integrating, and testing flight hardware in the aerospace industry   Proficiency with computers and ability to use MS Office and shop floor management software   Demonstrated high level of ownership and problem-solving abilities   Experience working with FOD, ESD sensitive hardware and clean room requirements   Nice to Have   Ability to read mechanical and engineering drawings and interpret tolerances (including GD&T)   Experience working with engineering teams in development and production environments   Experience working with electromechanical systems and familiarity with electrical schematics   Strong communication skills with ability to communicate hardware and systems problems, and provide feedback on improving tooling processes and part design   Additional Requirements
