Senior Production Coordinator
About The Position
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. You will play a critical role driving material readiness and production flow across multiple assembly areas during a period of production ramp of the Mega-Class satellite. You will work closely with Supply Chain, Engineering, Quality, and Production leadership to ensure flight hardware is staged, kitted, and delivered to the line on time, while ensuring system accuracy. This is a hands-on role that requires floor presence picking, kitting, staging, and moving parts to keep high-performance production lines moving, all whilst maintaining quality standards and alignment with schedule goals.
