<div class="content-intro"><p data-renderer-start-pos="41">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.</p> <p data-renderer-start-pos="570">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.</p> <p data-renderer-start-pos="994">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.</p></div><p><strong><span data-contrast="auto">The Role</span></strong><span data-contrast="auto"> </span><span data-ccp-props="{"335559685":0}"> </span></p> <p><span data-contrast="auto">As a Principal Build Engineer, you'll be at the helm of K2's Mega class satellite build campaign as we accelerate into high-rate production. You’ll drive instrumental changes to the build flow, working to optimize build sequencing and adapt to vehicle issues as they arise throughout integration to ensure on-schedule delivery. You'll become a vehicle systems expert, collaborating with many different teams across the company. Our ideal candidate thrives in ambiguity, turning complexity into clarity while pioneering industry-leading tools, techniques, and designs that push the boundaries of satellite manufacturing. </span><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":false,"134233118":false,"201341983":0,"335551550":1,"335551620":1,"335559737":0,"335559738":240,"335559739":240,"335559740":276}"> </span></p> <p><strong><span data-contrast="auto">Responsibilities</span></strong><span data-contrast="auto"> </span><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":false,"134233118":false,"335559685":0,"335559738":240,"335559739":240}"> </span></p> <ul> <li data-leveltext="●" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="4" data-list-defn-props="{"335552541":1,"335559685":720,"335559991":360,"469769226":"Symbol","469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"●","469777815":"multilevel"}" data-aria-posinset="1" data-aria-level="1"><span data-contrast="auto">Develop integration planning and satellite build flows for the K2 Mega class satellite at the system level</span><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":false,"134233118":false,"335559738":240,"335559739":240}"> </span></li> </ul> <ul> <li data-leveltext="●" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="4" data-list-defn-props="{"335552541":1,"335559685":720,"335559991":360,"469769226":"Symbol","469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"●","469777815":"multilevel"}" data-aria-posinset="2" data-aria-level="1"><span data-contrast="auto">Partner with production to define, create, and iterate on solutions that increase build efficiency</span></li> </ul> <ul> <li data-leveltext="●" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="4" data-list-defn-props="{"335552541":1,"335559685":720,"335559991":360,"469769226":"Symbol","469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"●","469777815":"multilevel"}" data-aria-posinset="3" data-aria-level="1"><span data-contrast="auto">Refine processes and create tools to reduce the number of nonconformances at all stages of vehicle build</span><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":false,"134233118":false,"201341983":0,"335551550":1,"335551620":1,"335559685":720,"335559737":0,"335559738":240,"335559739":240,"335559740":276,"335559991":360}"> </span></li> </ul> <ul> <li data-leveltext="●" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="4" data-list-defn-props="{"335552541":1,"335559685":720,"335559991":360,"469769226":"Symbol","469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"●","469777815":"multilevel"}" data-aria-posinset="4" data-aria-level="1"><span data-contrast="auto">Serve as an integration point of contact for vehicle and stacked vehicle level proto-qualification</span><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":false,"134233118":false,"201341983":0,"335551550":1,"335551620":1,"335559685":720,"335559737":0,"335559738":240,"335559739":240,"335559740":276,"335559991":360}"> </span></li> </ul> <ul> <li data-leveltext="●" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="4" data-list-defn-props="{"335552541":1,"335559685":720,"335559991":360,"469769226":"Symbol","469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"●","469777815":"multilevel"}" data-aria-posinset="5" data-aria-level="1"><span data-contrast="auto">Drive electrical and mechanical design engineers to implement game-changing Design-For-Integration improvements </span><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":false,"134233118":false,"201341983":0,"33555155
