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
You will play a critical role working across Engineering, Supply Chain, and Production teams to ensure our satellite components flow smoothly between Quality, Production, and Test areas. You will support daily execution, identify and resolve blockers, keep our high-performance production lines moving, all whilst maintaining quality standards and alignment with schedule goals.
Responsibilities
- Track and manage parts through all stages of production, including procurement, kitting, assembly, test, and integration
- Assist in planning and staging material for production builds, and efficiently identify and resolve part readiness issues prior to build start
- Collaborate with Technicians, Engineers, and Production Managers to support daily execution and remove blockers
- Support setup and optimization of lineside inventory by coordinating with Supply Chain and Production teams to stage parts at the point of use
- Maintain and monitor lineside inventory levels through regular audits, compiling dashboard reports, restocking schedule, and ERP/MRP reports
- Perform de-kitting and coordinate return to stock or return to vendor processes
- Reconcile BOM discrepancies and assist in correcting system data in ERP/MRP tools
- Support flight component receiving, kitting, and shipping operations as needed
