Electrical Manufacturing Engineer

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.

Partnering with design engineersearly on in the process, you will ensure manufacturability, build the first prototype, design the build flowand fixturing, andfinalizethe process for transition to production.

Once transitioned, you will have the opportunity to makea positive impact scaling production to meet K2’sever-growingdemand.

You will test out new techniques for manufacturingcomplex PCBAs,harnessing,and integrated electronics systems.

You'llalso partner closely with mechanical teams on the electromechanical assemblies and machined components these electronics integrate  your first 6 months you will develop manufacturing methods and tooling for integrated avionics systems, define manufacturing flows forelectronicsubsystems, and collaborate with design teamstoprovide

Design-for-Excellence(DFX) guidance across PCBs, PCBAs, machined components, and higher-level  your first year you will implement these advanced manufacturing techniques on flight hardware andscalethe technology you develop tohigh-rateproduction.
