About K2 Space
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, and Alpine Space Ventures, we are 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. 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 are 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 are excited about contributing to the success of a groundbreaking Series C space startup, we'd love for you to apply.
About the Role
You will be the lead subject matter expert and success owner for the technical communication with external software vendors and integrators. Your primary focus will be leading the day-to-day management of our CAD system and its integration with our Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) system. You will work directly with engineering end users, our software providers, and our internal IT Systems team to ensure the success of implementing upgrades, customizations, and addressing any issues with the implementation.
Application & Hiring
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.
