From the original posting

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 Role

We’re looking for a stellar Electrical Engineering Intern to join our team for a 3 month internship. Working closely with our engineers, you will be responsible for developing novel electrical designs spanning from PCBAs to full systems. You will work hands-on with novel power, digital, and mixed signal designs used across the satellite while getting exposure to other subsystems within the engineering organization. K2 Space is a highly collaborative environment and our interns will be encouraged to work with mentors and other team members to execute complex projects.

Responsibilities

Design electronics PCBAs for spacecraft including architecture, component selection, circuit board design, board bring up and debugging

Qualify your designs through environmental testing including vibration, shock, thermal, and thermal vacuum testing

Work with internal and external stakeholders to integrate your designs into the spacecraft systems and operate your hardware in flight

Develop test equipment, development PCBAs, and test scripts to assist with all of the above

Qualifications

Must be currently enrolled in a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in electrical or computer engineering

6+ months experience of technical engineering skills outside of the university setting classroom (eg: laboratory, research, extracurricular project teams, volunteering, personal projects or prior internship/work experience)

Nice to Have

Ability to work well in an integrated collaborative team environment, including frequent interactions with technicians, engineers, and managers

Experience designing multi-layer PCBAs for high-speed digital applications

Experience with high performance kW scale isolated power converter design

Experience designing analog control loops, solid state load switches, motor inverters, EMI/EMC compliance, or sensor signal conditioning circuits

Experience with digital processors, FPGAs, memory chips, or network switches

Proficient with circuit simulation tools such as LTspiceE

Experience with load switch design and power path protection schemes

Experience programming in C/C++, Python, or Matlab

Compensation

Hourly pay range for this non-exempt role is $30 - $40 per hour

Hourly rate will be based on several factors including, but not limited to: knowledge and skills, education, and experience level

Housing and travel stipend may also be available

If you don’t meet 100% of the preferred skills and experience, we encourage you to still apply! Building a spacecraft unlike any other requires a team unlike any other and non-traditional career twists and turns are encouraged!
