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, Alpine Space Ventures, and others – with an additional $500M 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 planned through 2026 and 2027, we're 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 you're excited about contributing to the success of a groundbreaking Series C space startup, we’d love for you to apply. The Role  As an Integration Technician you will support Mega Class satellite integration across the full vehicle lifecycle, from primary structure and harness routing through propulsion system proof and leak testing, cleanroom payload integration, and end-of-line functional testing. The ideal candidate is a versatile, hands-on technician comfortable working across mechanical, electrical, and fluid systems in a fast-paced environment.   Responsibilities  Perform hands-on assembly of the primary and secondary structure, including sheet metal panels, machined parts, and mechanisms  Route, install, secure, and inspect avionics and power harnesses on integrated vehicles  Install electro-mechanical components including mechanisms, avionics, power, and propulsion hardware  Support propulsion system integration and high-pressure operations following released procedures and safety protocols   Collaborate closely with manufacturing, test, quality, and design engineering to resolve hardware issues in real time   Follow detailed work instructions and manufacturing procedures, performing all work in the MES system (scanning, material consumption, and built traceability)   Support cleanroom final integration activities including payload integration, functional testing, troubleshooting, vehicle handling, and shipping preparations   Practice 5S principles of organizing and sustaining an efficient and presentable workspace  Provide consistent process improvement feedback to engineering an...
