Наша компания

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

О роли

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.

Чем предстоит заниматься

You will lead the transformation of solar array designs into reliable, flight-ready hardware at scale. Deeply embedded in the build of solar modules and photovoltaic arrays, you’ll operate at the center of production to drive process development, solve complex manufacturing challenges, and ensure hardware is built with precision, repeatability, and speed

You’ll own critical manufacturing processes end-to-end, from early design engagement through production ramp and sustained operations. This role is built for someone who combines strong technical judgement with a bias for action. Your impact will extend beyond individual builds, shaping the foundation of manufacturing systems designed to deliver high-performance solar hardware, reliability and at scale, for mission pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in space

Own manufacturing processes for solar modules, photovoltaic array integration, and associated mechanical structures from development through production

Develop, qualify, and maintain assembly procedures, tooling requirements, and build sequences that make flawless execution repeatable at scale

Drive design-for-manufacturing feedback into array and module designs in partnership with the Solar Design team, identifying producibility risks early in the design cycle

Lead root cause investigation and corrective action on build escapes, non-conformances, and process failures

Support sourcing and qualification of manufacturing equipment, fixtures, and tooling; manage vendor relationships to ensure on-spec delivery

Mentor and technically guide Manufacturing Engineering team members

Represent manufacturing engineering in design reviews and build readiness reviews

Наши требования

Bachelor’s degree in mechanical, manufacturing, aerospace, materials or other relevant engineering discipline

5+ years of experience in a high-volume manufacturing, production, or hands-on engineering environment

Experience working with photovoltaic modules, solar cells, or electromechanical array assemblies

Demonstrated ownership of end-to-end manufacturing processes in high-rate environments, including process documentation, tooling, and build execution

Track record of driving DFM improvements that tangibly reduced cost, cycle time, or defect rate

Strong cross-functional collaboration skills and comfortable engaging Design, Quality, and Supply Chain teams to resolve issues and close builds

Hands-on background in high-volume or automated solar manufacturing environments

Experience ramping a production line from pilot builds to sustained production rate

Experience in space, defense, or other high-reliability manufacturing environments with rigorous acceptance test requirements

Experience working closely with technicians and build tooling

Familiarity with CAD software (NX or equivalent) and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T)

Мы предлагаем

Salary 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

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!

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.”
