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.\nOur vision is unique, and so is the team we’re building. So, if your background doesn’t fully meet these qualifications, we still want your application.\nThis 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.\nWhat You’ll Do: \nWe are seeking an Electrical Technician to build and integrate wire harnesses, cable assemblies, and electrical systems for prototype, test, and flight-related aerospace hardware.\nJob Responsibilities:\nBuild aerospace-quality wire harnesses, cable assemblies, and electrical subassemblies.\nCut, strip, crimp, label, route, terminate, and secure wires and connectors.\nRead and work from wiring diagrams, schematics, pinouts, and assembly drawings.\nPerform continuity checks, inspections, electrical checkout, and basic troubleshooting.\nSupport electrical integration, bench testing, and hardware test campaigns.\nMaintain build documentation, labeling, revision control, cleanliness, and quality standards.\nWork with engineering to implement design changes and prepare prototype and flight hardware.\nWhat It Takes:\n\n2+ years of relevant experience\nExperience with crimping, connector assembly, and basic soldering.\nAbility to read and interpret electrical drawings and documentation.\nExperience performing continuity testing and electrical inspections.\nAbility to learn quickly, work with minimal direction, and adapt to design changes.\nStrong attention to detail, analytical skills, and commitment to follow-through.\nAbility to remain calm under pressure and communicate effectively.\nWhat We’d Love: \nFamiliarity with prototype aerospace hardware.\nExperience in a development or low-volume production environment.\nCuriosity about testing hardware for in-space operations.\nPassion for the commercial and government space industry.\nPhysical & Work Environment: \nAbility to stand for extended periods \nAbility to lift up to 40 lbs unassisted \nFrequent bending, reaching, and machine interaction \nOvertime or weekend work may be required based on production needs \nWhere You’ll Be: \nThe position is onsite at our headquarters in El Segundo, CA.\nWhat We Offer: \nEquity-Based Compensation\n401(k) retirement plan with a 3.5% company match\nHighly Competitive PTO\nPaid company holidays + winter break \nComprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance\nUnique Performance-based bonus opportunities\nITAR Requirements: \nTo conform to U.S. Government export regulations, applicant must be a (i) U.S. citizen or national, (ii) U.S. lawful, permanent resident (aka green card holder), (iii) Refugee under 8 U.S.C. § 1157, or (iv) Asylee under 8 U.S.C. § 1158, or be eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
