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 Building satellites at high rate is a coordination challenge unlike any other. It demands sharp forecasting, real-time visibility into production, and the ability to adapt as targets evolve. The Vehicle Operations team sits at the center of it all, connecting engineering and manufacturing to keep programs moving. In this role, you’ll design and build the tools that turn production data into clear, actionable insight, giving teams across the program the confidence to make strategic decisions quickly. If you thrive at the intersection of systems thinking, data, and operations, this is your chance to shape how we build Responsibilities Design analytical tools to evaluate delivery timelines, production
