Space Kinetic develops a propellant-free electromechanical payload-deployment system and patented mechanism to eject diverse small payloads at high velocities from host satellites for space and missile defense applications.

In a world where many companies are focused on incrementally improving the status quo, we are focused on creating something entirely different – an architecture underpinned by new first principles to meet the opportunities and challenges of the third space age head-on. Our goal is to move away from one-to-one space architectures – where each satellite in a constellation has one (or a small # of) primary payloads attached to the bus -- and unlock a ‘one-to-many’ system, where each satellite has a large number of payloads which can be deployed from their host spacecraft at high velocities without firing a thruster.</p> <p>This is not a role for someone looking for a traditional 40-hour work week. Space Kinetic is building ambitious, first-of-its-kind technology, and that requires urgency, ownership, and a high level of commitment to changing the foundational assumptions for everything we do in space.</p> </div> <p><strong><span data-contrast="none">What You’ll Do:</span></strong> </p> <p><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW223954710 BCX8"><span class="TextRun SCXW152729978 BCX8" lang="EN-US" data-contrast="auto"><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW152729978 BCX8">As an <strong>Electrical </strong></span><strong><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW152729978 BCX8">Test & </span><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW152729978 BCX8">Development Engineer</span></strong><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW152729978 BCX8">, </span><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW152729978 BCX8">you will bring to life the electronic </span><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW152729978 BCX8">circuit cards</span><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW152729978 BCX8"> that make the future possible. </span><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW152729978 BCX8">You will work closely with the electrical engineering team, as well as mechanical, software, systems, manufacturing, and test engineers, to help </span><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW152729978 BCX8">validate</span><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW152729978 BCX8"> hardware and drive designs from </span><span class="NormalTextRun ContextualSpellingAndGrammarErrorV2Themed SCXW152729978 BCX8">prototype</span><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW152729978 BCX8"> through integrated system testing.</span></span><span class="EOP Selected SCXW152729978 BCX8" data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></span></p> <ul> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Support bring-up, testing, debugging, and validation of circuit cards, electronics assemblies, and functional electrical hardware developed by the electrical engineering team.</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Develop and execute electrical test plans, test procedures, and verification activities for boards, subsystems, and integrated hardware.</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Troubleshoot electrical hardware issues in laboratory and test environments using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, multimeters, power supplies, electronic loads, and other standard test equipment.</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Support design validation, performance testing, failure analysis, root cause investigations, and corrective action activities.</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Work closely with design engineers to identify board-level issues, recommend design improvements, and support rapid hardware iterations.</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Assist with test fixture design, test equipment setup, data collection, and documentation of test results.</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Support integration of electronics hardware with sensors, actuators, embedded processors, communication interfaces, controllers, and software systems.</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Read and interpret schematics, PCB layouts, electrical drawings, interface control documents, test procedures, and bills of materials.</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Support environmental and qualification testing, including vibration, shock, thermal, thermal cycling, EMI/EMC, and system-level test campaigns.</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Support spacecraft electrical integration activities, including subsystem-level and system-level functional testing.</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Assist with wire harness development, including harness design support, fabrication, assembly, routing, labeling, continuity checks, and integration.</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Work with internal teams to support in-house development, creation, and build out of wire harnesses and related electrical assemblies.</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Support design for test, design for manufacturability, prototype builds, supplier coordination, and transition from development hardware to repeatable productio
