K2 Space Corporation is a California-based aerospace manufacturer that designs and produces large, high-power satellite buses intended to deliver significantly more power, mass and payload volume at lower cost than traditional large satellites. The company emphasizes production-line style builds and commercial supply chains to shorten lead times and reduce per-unit cost, enabling multi-manifest launches and multi-orbit missions across LEO, MEO, GEO and cislunar space. K2 serves commercial, scientific and government/defense customers, and focuses on enabling missions that require high throughput, high-power payloads.

📋 Description

• Own post-silicon validation strategy, test planning, execution, coverage, and sign-off • Lead first-silicon bring-up across power, clocks, debug interfaces, processor/memory subsystems, peripherals, and high-speed interfaces • Define validation strategy and readiness criteria for product integration • Ensure silicon, firmware, test infrastructure, and system interfaces are ready for integration • Own system-level functional, performance, stress, and corner-case testing • Build the test and validation lab, including equipment, infrastructure, test setups, and automated characterization and regression environments • Characterize RF chains, PLLs, ADCs/DACs, clocking, and power with RF/analog and mixed-signal designers • Validate DSP and calibration algorithms on silicon and correlate measured performance with models and simulations • Partner with FPGA, firmware, RTL/DV, hardware, and systems teams to accelerate bring-up and drive end-to-end validation • Drive cross-functional debug across silicon, firmware, RTL, package, board, and system boundaries • Build reusable automation for instrumentation control, data collection, analysis, regression, and reporting • Drive silicon issues from discovery through root cause, workaround, and resolution

🎯 Requirements

• BS/MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience • 5+ years of post-silicon validation, SoC bring-up, silicon characterization, or related experience • Hands-on experience bringing up complex mixed-signal SoCs/ASICs and transitioning silicon into product/system integration • Hands-on experience with lab test and measurement equipment, including oscilloscopes, spectrum/signal analyzers, vector signal generators, network analyzers, logic analyzers, power supplies, and related RF/mixed-signal instrumentation • Strong understanding of SoC architecture and working knowledge of RF/analog and mixed-signal circuits • Strong hardware/software debug skills spanning silicon, RTL, firmware, board, and systems • Experience building silicon validation labs, test infrastructure, and automated measurement environments • Experience validating DSP, calibration, or signal-processing functionality in silicon • Strong Python/scripting skills for lab automation, instrumentation, and data analysis • Experience with embedded C/C++, JTAG, SPI, UART, and register-level debug • Ability to lead cross-functional bring-up while remaining deeply hands-on in the lab • Must be a U.S. person as defined by ITAR or otherwise eligible for a federally issued export control license • Preferred: RF SoC and RF/analog characterization experience • Preferred: ADC/DAC, PLL, RF transceiver, or high-speed SerDes/JESD validation experience • Preferred: FPGA prototyping and RISC-V/ARM SoC experience
