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’ll build the network foundations at the core of our mission that enable the development and operation of high-powered satellites – from our corporate offices, factory floor to test, launch, and on-orbit operations. You will define and evolve the architectures that connect people, systems, and missions to ensure resilient and high-performance networking across production labs, data centers, cloud environments, and global operations. In your first six months, you’ll set the technical direction for how we design, secure, and operate networks that can keep pace with rapid hardware iteration and mission-critical timelines. As we scale your work will become a force multiplier – supporting increasingly powerful spacecraft, more complex missions, and the subsequent infrastructure required to deliver a new class of satellite technology. The networks you build will be foundational to how K2 Space designs, tests, launches, and operates the most capable satellites in the industry.

Share this job
By bringing together next-gen technology and the finest live data available, Genius Sports is enabling a new era of sports for fans worldwide, delivering experiences that are more immersive, interactive and personalized than ever before. Learn more at geniussports.com.
About the Role
We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer on our Sports AI team to help build the next generation of real-time AI systems powering sports analysis and insights.
These systems transform live sports broadcasts (incorporating signals from video, crowd noise, audio commentary, and text) into a structured understanding of game context and auto-generated insights. The outputs from these systems power a range of products including automated highlight clipping, augmented broadcasts, semi-automatic play-by-play collection, and natural-language insight generation. For example, these systems can detect a goal, attribute it to the correct player, and localize where it occurred on the pitch within seconds by combining crowd noise spikes, commentary signals, and video cues.
This role sits at the intersection of streaming and distributed systems, AI, and product engineering. You’ll build and operate real-time pipelines that process noisy, asynchronous inputs under tight latency constraints. These systems combine traditional streaming and data processing techniques with modern multimodal AI models to produce reliable outputs in production.
You’ll work on challenges like aligning signals across multiple sources, handling uncertainty and inconsistency in model outputs, and designing systems that degrade gracefully in real-world conditions. We are early in building these capabilities, so the role involves working through ambiguity, experimenting with different approaches, and building new systems from first principles where established patterns don’t yet exist.
Key Responsibilities
- Design, build, and operate real-time streaming systems that convert live sports broadcasts into structured events, attributes, and insights
- Ingest and synchronize signals from video, audio, commentary, and data feeds under real-world latency and reliability constraints
- Integrate modern AI models into production systems, including multi-step pipelines where model outputs are composed, validated, and refined
- Design and implement evaluation and observability frameworks to measure system quality, including offline benchmarks, real-time metrics, and regression testing
- Develop mechanisms for identifying and handling uncertainty in model outputs, such as confidence scoring, validation checks, and human-in-the-loop workflows where appropriate
- Own systems end-to-end from early prototypes through production, making key architectural decisions around scalability, reliability, and performance
- Collaborate closely with product and data partners to shape, prioritize, and ship high-impact systems
- Mentor engineers and help establish best practices for building and operating applied AI systems in production
Qualifications
- 5+ years of experience building production-grade software systems
- Strong software engineering fundamentals including system design, testing, observability, and performance
- Experience building streaming, data-intensive, and/or distributed systems with real-time constraints
- Proven ability to design scalable systems that are robust under real-world conditions, including handling partial failures, inconsistent data, and latency tradeoffs
- Ability to evaluate system quality beyond traditional metrics (e.g., ambiguous or probabilistic outputs)
- Product-minded: able to translate ambiguous problems into practical, high-impact solutions
- Strong, demonstrated interest in building AI-powered features or systems; keep up with latest generative AI progress and capabilities

Sr. Paraglider & Parachute Engineer
Location: Playa Vista, California (in-person, five days per week)
Launch has changed the economics of space. Now it is time to return.
Outpost is building the missing infrastructure between orbit and Earth: reusable vehicles that can bring payloads back from space and deliver them to a precise location within hours. We call it exologistics, space-to-Earth logistics at planetary scale. This is not a paper concept or a distant roadmap. Our system is in active development, with core technologies advancing toward flight readiness.
The need is already here and the market has responded. We have validated demand through multiple defense and civil agreements, and a growing pipeline across government and commercial customers.
Outpost is building the logistics layer that makes space economically useful in a new way: the ability to move material from orbit to Earth quickly, reliably, and affordably. Over time, that supports point-to-point logistics, 10 tons of cargo, anywhere on Earth in an hour. It also creates the foundation for a reusable reentry network and enables new categories of space activity, including in-space manufacturing, supporting AI data centers, advanced manufacturing and novel materials.
We have a strong foundation, clear demand, and a technical path in front of us. Now the company is scaling rapidly. We are expanding the team, growing our operational footprint, and building the systems needed to execute at the next level. This is a chance to join a company with real traction, working on a problem that matters, at the point where execution and scale begin to define the outcome.
The Role
The Sr. Paraglider & Parachute Engineer will own the final, critical phase of the Outpost mission: the landing. While our deployable heat shield handles the hypersonic deceleration, it is the guided paraglider system that enables us to land payloads with "pinpoint" accuracy rather than just splashing down in the ocean or crashing in the desert. You will lead the design, development, and testing of high-performance paraglider & parachute systems. You will work at the intersection of soft-goods engineering, aerodynamics, and GNC, ensuring that our recovery system can deploy reliably at altitude and navigate to a precise landing zone.
Responsibilities
- Recovery System Architect: Lead the design and development of the parachute & paraglider recovery system, including canopy sizing, reefing strategies, and riser geometry.
- Textile & Manufacturing: Develop fabrication processes for complex soft goods. You will own material selection (ripstop nylon, Kevlar, Dyneema), patterning, and integration of hardware (steering lines, toggles, releases).
- Deployment Sequence: Design the deployment sequence for transitioning from the heatshield configuration, to drogue parachute flight, and on to stable paraglider flight, ensuring no entanglement during the critical handover.
- Flight Test Lead: Plan and execute flight tests (dropped from crane, aircraft, and balloon platforms) to validate opening characteristics and flight performance.
- GNC Integration: Collaborate closely with the Avionics and GNC teams to characterize the aerodynamic model of the paraglider, ensuring the autopilot can effectively steer the vehicle to the landing site.
- Hands-on Fabrication: Be willing to "cut cloth" and work with riggers and sewing technicians to prototype designs rapidly.
- Reliability: Own the reliability analysis for the recovery system, ensuring we meet the stringent safety requirements for returning critical payloads
Qualifications
- Bachelor's Degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.
- 10 years of experience minimum (15+ years preferred) in the design and manufacturing of paragliders, parachutes, or parafoils
- Deep knowledge of soft-goods: Expertise in textile behaviors, patterning software (e.g., SpaceCAD, Lectra, specialized CAD modules), and construction techniques for flight-critical fabrics.
- Flight Test Heritage: Experience planning and conducting flight tests, including instrumentation, ground support, and data analysis.
- Mechanism Experience: Familiarity with reefing line cutters, pyrotechnic releases, and multi-stage deployment mechanisms.
- Aerodynamics: Strong understanding of low-speed aerodynamics, glide ratios, flare characteristics, and dynamic stability of flexible wings.
- Team Player: Ability to communicate complex aerodynamic behaviors to software engineers and structural engineers to ensure the whole vehicle works as a system.
Preferred Experience
- Active U.S. Government Security Clearance (Not required, but beneficial)
- Experience with precision guided aerial delivery systems (JPADS) or similar autonomous cargo delivery platforms.
- Experience with FAA coordination for flight testing in controlled and uncontrolled airspace.
- US military veterans, especially those with prior service as paratrooper or working closely with cargo aircraft
- Background in skydiving, paragliding, or rigging (FAA Master Rigger certification is a plus).
- Experience simulating fluid structure interaction & deformed shape analysis (LS-DYNA or similar).
Compensation & Benefits
- Competitive compensation: $160,000 - $210,000; (commensurate with experience).
- Additional Compensation: Annual performance-based bonuses that reward your impact.
- Shared upside: Meaningful equity in Outpost so you share directly in the value you help create.

The Role
We are looking for a Mechanical Engineer who will own the mechanical test and qualification process for spacecraft components and vehicles from concept through execution and data analysis. This is a deeply mechanical role with elements of mechatronics, instrumentation, and software for data acquisition, with strong ownership over how our hardware is qualified for flight.
You will design and build test fixtures and portable test racks, define test plans (qualification, acceptance, drop, load, vibration, deployment, etc.), execute tests, and analyze results to inform design and certification decisions. Rather than “pressing the button” on pre‑defined procedures, you will create new tests and infrastructure for new products in a fast‑moving space startup environment.
Responsibilities
- Own mechanical test and qualification activities for spacecraft components and vehicles, from requirements interpretation through test execution and reporting.
- Develop test strategies and plans for qualification tests, acceptance tests, drop/load tests, deployment tests, and other space‑relevant environments.
- Design, model, and document mechanical test fixtures, jigs, stands, and custom setups (e.g., for heat shield, mechanisms, and structural testing).
- Architect and help implement portable test racks integrating power supplies, sensors, data acquisition, and control hardware into organized, reusable systems.
- Define instrumentation approaches (load cells, strain gauges, displacement, pressure, temperature, etc.) and work with electrical teammates to integrate sensors and wiring.
- Implement and/or specify data acquisition and control software using tools such as LabVIEW, Python, or MATLAB for test automation and data collection.
- Perform data reduction and analysis to extract key metrics, identify anomalies, and drive design or test configuration changes.
- Create and maintain clear test documentation: test procedures, configuration drawings, calibration records, data packages, and test reports aligned with NASA‑style standards.
- Read and interpret mechanical drawings and basic circuit/connection diagrams to ensure correct test configuration and boundary conditions.
- Collaborate closely with design, systems, and manufacturing engineers to ensure tests meaningfully qualify hardware and trace back to requirements.
- Contribute to the development of internal test standards and best practices, leveraging NASA and industry qualification guidelines as the “test bible.”
- Provide technical leadership on test approach and infrastructure (technical management), even if you do not directly manage people.
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s or higher degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience in hardware test development.
- Strong, hands‑on mechanical background with experience designing and building test fixtures, stands, and mechanical setups for hardware tests.
- Experience developing or significantly contributing to new tests for aerospace, space, or similarly high‑reliability hardware (not just operating existing, legacy rigs).
- Familiarity with spacecraft or launch vehicle components, or other space/aviation hardware where qualification and reliability are critical.
- Comfort working with sensors and instrumentation (wiring, basic electrical understanding) sufficient to own test setups without being an electrical engineer.
- Experience with data acquisition and analysis using at least one of: LabVIEW, Python, MATLAB, or similar tools.
- Ability to read and understand mechanical drawings (and basic circuit diagrams) to set up tests correctly and understand what is being verified.
- Demonstrated ownership of end‑to‑end test efforts: planning, setup, execution, troubleshooting, and reporting.
- Strong documentation habits and familiarity with following structured standards and guidelines (e.g., NASA‑style test and qualification documents).
- Willingness to be hands‑on in the lab, build things from scratch, and iterate quickly in a startup environment.
We are less focused on minimum years of experience and more interested in candidates who have truly developed tests and infrastructure themselves, rather than only operating pre‑defined procedures at large, highly bureaucratic companies.
Preferred Experience
- Experience in space startups or new‑product aerospace programs (rockets, satellites, spacecraft mechanisms) where tests were created from scratch.
- Prior work with portable test racks or integrated test benches combining power, DAQ, and control in a cohesive system.
- Familiarity with NASA test/qualification standards and ASME Y14.5 drawing conventions at a functional level.
Compensation & Benefits
- Competitive compensation: $120,000 – $180,000; (commensurate with experience).
- Additional Compensation: Annual performance-based bonuses that reward your impact.
- Shared upside: Meaningful equity in Outpost so you share directly in the value you help create.
- Comprehensive healthcare: Medical, dental, and vision coverage to keep you and your loved ones covered. We cover the base tier of medical insurance and all premiums of vision and dental.

- Vendor & Partner Management: Work directly with machine shops, composite vendors, and external partners to resolve fabrication conflicts and ensure on-time delivery of precision parts.
- Mentorship: Elevate the team's standard of engineering rigor. Mentor junior engineers in design best practices, analysis methods, and First Principles thinking.
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree or higher in Mechanical, Aerospace, or Structural Engineering.
- 10+ years of experience minimum (15+ preferred) in the design and analysis of complex aerospace structures and mechanisms.
- Full-Vehicle Heritage: Proven track record working on full space vehicles or rockets (not just subsystems). You should have experience taking a primary structure from concept through PDR/CDR to flight.
- CAD Proficiency: Expert-level skill in Siemens NX, SolidWorks, or similar parametric modeling software.
- Analysis Expertise: Deep background in structural analysis (FEA) and classical hand calculations. You must trust your hand calcs before you trust the solver.
- Materials Knowledge: Extensive understanding of aerospace materials (aluminum, titanium, Inconel, composites) and their behavior in extreme thermal environments.
- Manufacturing Fluency: You understand the limits of manufacturing, CNC machining, sheet metal, welding, and composite layup, and you design for them.
Preferred Experience
- Active U.S. Government Security Clearance (Not required, but beneficial)
- Experience with deployable space structures and mechanisms (booms, solar arrays, antennas, or aerobrakes).
- Experience designing for high-heat environments or integrating with Thermal Protection Systems (TPS).
- Proficiency in scripting (Python/MATLAB) for design automation or data post-processing.

Location: Playa Vista, California (in-person, five days per week)
Launch has changed the economics of space. Now it is time to return.
Outpost is building the missing infrastructure between orbit and Earth: reusable vehicles that can bring payloads back from space and deliver them to a precise location within hours. We call it exologistics, space-to-Earth logistics at planetary scale. This is not a paper concept or a distant roadmap. Our system is in active development, with core technologies advancing toward flight readiness.
The need is already here, and the market has responded. We have validated demand through multiple defense and civil agreements, and a growing pipeline across government and commercial customers.
Outpost is building the logistics layer that makes space economically useful in a new way: the ability to move material from orbit to Earth quickly, reliably, and affordably. Over time, that supports point-to-point logistics, 10 tons of cargo, anywhere on Earth in an hour. It also creates the foundation for a reusable reentry network and enables new categories of space activity, including in-space manufacturing, supporting AI data centers, advanced manufacturing, and novel materials.
We have a strong foundation, clear demand, and a technical path in front of us. Now the company is scaling rapidly.

- Partner cross-functionally to resolve system-level trades. Represent Structures in executive reviews, customer milestone reviews, and with government stakeholders.
- Establish and enforce analysis standards across the team, hand calculations, FEA (ANSYS/FEMAP/NASTRAN), stiffness, buckling, fatigue, and thermal expansion compatibility. Be the final technical check on margin policy and verification logic.
- Own the release process and quality bar for mechanical manufacturing drawings and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (ASME Y14.5) across the department.
- Coordinate with the production team on structural qualification campaign end-to-end, static load, random vibration, shock, deployment, and environmental testing, to certify hardware for flight.
- Coordinate with the production team to stablish strategic relationships with machine shops, composite vendors, and external partners. Support make-vs-buy decisions and ensure supply chain resilience for precision flight hardware.
- Brief the CEO, board, customers, and government partners on structural design, risk posture, and program status.
Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree or higher in Mechanical, Aerospace, or Structural Engineering.
- 10+ years of experience in the design and analysis of complex aerospace structures and mechanisms, with at least 3+ years in a management or technical leadership role leading multi-disciplined engineering teams.
- Proven track record leading structures on full space vehicles or rockets (not just subsystems).
- Demonstrated experience hiring, scaling, and mentoring engineering teams of 5+ engineers; comfortable setting OKRs, running performance reviews, and managing costs.
- Expert-level fluency in Siemens NX, SolidWorks, or similar parametric modeling software, with the ability to drive standards across the team.
- Deep background in structural analysis (FEA) and classical hand calculations. You must trust your hand calcs before you trust the solver.
- Extensive understanding of aerospace materials (aluminum, titanium, inconel, composites) and their behavior in extreme thermal environments.
- Deep command of CNC machining, sheet metal, and welding with a design-for-manufacturing mindset you can instill across the org.
Preferred Experience
- Active U.S. Government Security Clearance (not required, but beneficial).
- Experience with deployable space structures and mechanisms (booms, solar arrays, antennas, or aerobrakes).
- Experience in taking primary structure from concept through PDR/CDR to flight.

- Deep knowledge of aerospace standards (NASA-STD-5000 series, SMC-S-016) for structural margins and testing.
- Prior experience as a Director, Chief Engineer, or department head at a launch, reentry, satellite, or hypersonics company.
Compensation & Benefits
- Competitive compensation: $165,000 – $220,000; (commensurate with experience),
- Additional Compensation: Annual performance-based bonuses that reward your impact.
- Shared upside: Meaningful equity in Outpost so you share directly in the value you help create.
- Comprehensive healthcare: Medical, dental, and vision coverage to keep you and your loved ones covered. We cover the base tier of medical insurance and all premiums of vision and dental.
