Full Job Description
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 You will be responsible for the leading the day-to-day management of our CAD system and its integration with our Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) system. You will work directly with the engineering end users, our software providers, and our internal IT Systems team. You will be the lead subject matter expert and success owner for the technical communication with external software vendors and integrators, and you will be responsible for the success of implementing upgrades, customizations, and addressing any issues with the implementation. Responsibilities Drive and contribute to improvements in PLM processes and the resulting changes in NX and supported CAD systems, including vendor selection, in
