Electrical Engineering Intern

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. 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.

The Role 

We’re looking for a stellar Electrical Engineering Intern to join our team for a 3 month internship. Working closely with our engineers, you will be responsible for developing novel electrical designs spanning from PCBAs to full systems. You will work hands-on with novel power, digital, and mixed signal designs used across the satellite while getting exposure to other subsystems within the engineering organization. K2 Space is a highly collaborative environment and our interns will be encouraged to work with mentors and other team members to execute complex projects. 

Responsibilities 

• Design electronics PCBAs for spacecraft including architecture, component selection, circuit board design, board bring up and debugging 

• Qualify your designs through environmental testing including vibration, shock, thermal, and thermal vacuum testing 

• Work with internal and external stakeholders to integrate your designs into the spacecraft systems and operate your hardware in flight 

• Develop test equipment, development PCBAs, and test scripts to assist with all of the above 

Qualifications 

• Must be currently enrolled in a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in electrical or computer engineering
