K2 Space is building large, high-powered spacecraft for the next generation of space development. Backed by Lightspeed Venture Partners, Altimeter Capital, and many others ($200M raised to date), we intend to mass produce the highest-powered satellite platforms ever built for missions across LEO to Deep Space.
The rise of launch vehicles like Falcon 9 and Starship enables the move from an era of mass constraint to one of mass abundance. We believe this new era requires spacecraft with a fundamentally different design in order to fully utilize the massive rockets coming to market.
We're a team that believes the future lies in building large, high-powered satellites that can handle multiple orbits. This is a necessity if we ever want 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 B space startup, we'd love for you to apply.
The Role
We're looking for a stellar Mechanical Engineering Intern to join our team for a 3 month internship.

Solve real aerospace challenges by applying your knowledge from both inside and outside the classroom
Qualifications
Must be currently enrolled in a Bachelor's or Master's degree in mechanical, aerospace, or other relevant engineering discipline
6+ months of experience applying technical engineering skills outside of the university classroom setting (eg: laboratory, research, extracurricular project teams, volunteering, personal projects or prior internship/work experience)
Additional Requirements
Available for a minimum 12-week internship in person at our HQ in Torrance
Nice to Have
Ability to work well in an integrated collaborative team environment, including frequent interactions with technicians, engineers, and managers
Experience with CAD software packages (experience can be in a professional, academic, entrepreneurial, or hobby setting)
Understanding of free-body diagrams, statics, and/or basic mechanics of materials
Experience working with mechanical hardware or systems within an integrated engineering team outside a classroom setting (High Power Rocketry, CubeSats, Robotics Competitions, Formula SAE and Baja SAE, Engineers without Borders, Design-Build-Fly, NASA student launch, personal entrepreneurial ventures, etc.)
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!
