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.<span data-contrast="auto"> </span><span data-ccp-props="{"335559731":0}"> </span></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"><span class="TextRun SCXW10883416 BCX8" lang="EN-US" data-contrast="auto"><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW10883416 BCX8">As a <strong>Senior </strong></span><strong><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW10883416 BCX8">Flight Electronics & Avionics</span><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW10883416 BCX8"> </span></strong><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW10883416 BCX8"><strong>Electrical Engineer,</strong> you will own the design, development, integration, and testing of flight-critical electrical systems for </span><span class="NormalTextRun ContextualSpellingAndGrammarErrorV2Themed SCXW10883416 BCX8">launch</span><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW10883416 BCX8"> vehicles and spacecraft.
