Hardware & Science Jobs at Space Kinetic

Space Kinetic is a dual-use space technology startup building the Whirlwind platform, an architecture for space operations that deploys micro-payloads from a host spacecraft at high velocities without firing a thruster. The platform is designed to enable scalable, low-cost, and maneuverable space missions by decoupling propulsion from payloads.

Space Kinetic is also hiring in engineering (34), operations (2), people and talent (2) and sales and business development (2).

Its roles are in El Segundo, CA, US (46) and remote (1).

You are often the first person to build, test or fix the thing. Lab and field work sit side by side, and results feed straight back into the design. A large employer would give you one instrument and one protocol, and an early startup gives you the whole bench.
