Description

  • Own the development and maintenance of top-level reliability requirements, models, and allocations for vehicle and constellation-level success and availability targets.
  • Define and drive HALT/HASS strategies, accelerated testing plans, and reliability growth programs across spacecraft development and production.
  • Establish and evolve reliability modeling frameworks, including Weibull analysis, Monte Carlo simulations, and Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA).
  • Integrate reliability analyses with program risk management to inform design, manufacturing, and test decisions.
  • Flow down reliability requirements to subsystems, including margins, screening levels, derating guidelines, and test requirements.
  • Lead root cause investigations on critical hardware failures and drive systemic corrective actions.
  • Collaborate with design, systems, test, and manufacturing teams to embed reliability principles early and optimize for mass production.
  • Mentor junior engineers on reliability methods, analysis techniques, and best practices.
  • Contribute to the growth and evolution of K2 Space’s reliability function as the company scales.

Requirements

  • B.S. degree in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, electrical engineering, materials science, or a related discipline.
  • 5+ years of experience in reliability engineering, hardware testing, failure analysis, or related fields.
  • Experience in the space, automotive, semiconductor, or other high-reliability industries.
  • M.S. or PhD in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, chemical engineering, materials science, or a related discipline (preferred).
  • Experience developing and executing life testing methods, including accelerated life testing (ALT) and reliability growth programs (preferred).
  • Experience with thermal, vibration, and TVAC qualification and acceptance testing approaches (preferred).
  • Experience with EEE components, including semiconductor devices and packaging technologies, in high-reliability or space applications (preferred).
  • Experience building reliability prediction models such as Weibull, Monte Carlo, and reliability block diagrams, and performing system-level analyses such as FTA and PRA (preferred).
  • Strong statistical modeling and data analysis skills, with experience developing custom models for engineering or production data; machine learning exposure is a plus (preferred).
  • Proficiency in programming languages such as Python or C++ for data analysis, statistical modeling, and reliability calculations (preferred).
  • Familiarity with derating practices, Design for Excellence (DFX), and requirements flow-down in complex hardware systems (preferred).
  • Experience with Physics of Failure (PoF) methodologies and identifying dominant failure mechanisms in electronic hardware and EEE components (preferred).
  • Experience with reliability growth tracking or working toward probability of success and availability targets on vehicles or constellations (preferred).
  • Strong cross-functional communication skills and ability to present technical findings to engineering and leadership teams (preferred).
  • Experience in a fast-paced startup or new-space environment with high ownership and broad scope (preferred).
  • Must be a U.S. person or otherwise eligible for a federally issued export control license due to ITAR requirements.

Benefits

  • Base salary range of $140,000 to $175,000 plus equity in the company.
  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage.
  • Paid time off.
  • Paid parental leave.
  • Life insurance.
  • Additional company perks and benefits.
  • Reasonable accommodation available during the application and interview process.
