Building the largest satellites in orbit. Ultra-powerful, scalable platforms engineered for LEO, MEO, GEO and cislunar missions. Explore the next-generation of satellites. Backed by Kleiner Perkins, First Round and ICONIQ.
About the role
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. Can you bring order to chaos and keep programs on track when the stakes are sky-high?
What they're looking for
- Create, own, and drive master schedules for new satellite programs from inception through launch and on-orbit operations
- Develop, communicate, and deliver clear, data-driven critical path schedules and progress updates to internal teams and customers
- Collaborate with engineering, operations, and production teams to assure alignment to ground truth milestones
- Rapidly assess new and ongoing projects, identify required dependencies from internal and external stakeholders
- Gain deep operational insight into K2’s engineering, manufacturing, and launch workflows to drive accurate schedules and process improvements
- Lead fast-paced, high impact reviews as needed to keep plans current and actionable
More about this role
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.
