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’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, aero space, 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 a
