The RoleOur enterprise software team builds the digital backbone that powers K2 Space's satellite design, manufacturing, and mission operations. We develop tools that connect engineering, production, and mission control into a seamless ecosystem - enabling our hardware to get from concept to orbit faster than ever before.
We're looking for engineers who are curious, collaborative, and driven to deliver mission-critical software that helps turn ambitious space projects into reality.
Responsibilities - Develop highly reliable data solutions used across K2 Space - from factory floors to mission control.
- Create and evolve data design that improve how we design, build, and operate our spacecraft.
- Partner closely with engineers, business partners, and leaders across disciplines to understand their challenges and design efficient solutions.
- Own data solutions from concept to full fledge product.
- Lead data architecture designs, drive data optimization, ensure data integrity and accuracy.
- Evaluate and make decisions regarding competing data design tradeoffs.
- Advocate, defend and convert other engineering leaders to your own solutions.
- Use data to drive prioritization of work and design of solutions to create the largest positive impact.
- Actively contribute to building a culture of transparency, empathy, integrity, and engineering excellence.
- Actively mentoring other staff members and help team members build good culture and engineering practices.
Qualifications - Bachelor's degree in computer science, information technology, mathematics or a STEM discipline or 12+ years of professional experience in software engineering.
