👻 Ghost score 25%

What it means: how likely this posting is sitting open without active hiring.How to read it: 60% or higher means we think this is a ghost. Lower scores are less of a worry.How we score it: age, reposts, open roles vs team size, how fast jobs close, and whether pay is listed.Fine print: an estimate from public data, not a judgment of the company. Real jobs can score high, so treat it as a hint, not a fact.

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

• Architect and design high-speed, wideband ADCs and DACs for demanding RF and mixed-signal applications • Lead converter architecture selection and trade studies balancing bandwidth, sampling rate, resolution/ENOB, linearity, power, area, and implementation risk • Design wideband analog front-ends, including ADC input networks, track-and-hold/sampling circuits, DAC output stages, references, biasing, clocking, and calibration circuitry • Develop high-performance circuits in advanced FinFET CMOS technologies • Own designs from concept and behavioral modeling through transistor-level implementation, layout, verification, and silicon characterization • Develop calibration and correction techniques and collaborate with DSP/systems engineers on mixed-signal algorithms • Define converter specifications and interfaces with systems, RF, digital, package, and verification teams • Drive converter integration into complex mixed-signal SoCs, including power, clocking, signal integrity, and physical implementation considerations • Establish data-converter design methodologies, IP, simulation infrastructure, and best practices • Provide technical leadership and mentorship to analog and mixed-signal engineers

🎯 Requirements

• MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering or related field with significant industry experience in high-performance analog/mixed-signal IC design • Deep expertise designing GHz-class and/or multi-GS/s ADCs and DACs • Strong understanding of SAR, pipeline, time-interleaved, flash/folding, current-steering DAC, and hybrid converter architectures • Ability to translate system requirements into converter architectures and circuit-level specifications • Strong experience with wideband analog/RF signal paths, sampling circuits, clocking, references, and low-noise/high-linearity circuit design • Experience designing high-performance analog circuits in FinFET technologies • Strong understanding of converter impairments, including jitter, noise, distortion, mismatch, timing skew, interleaving errors, and calibration • Experience taking complex analog/mixed-signal ICs from architecture through tapeout and silicon bring-up • Deep proficiency with industry-standard analog/mixed-signal design, simulation, and verification tools • Must be a U.S. person as defined by ITAR or otherwise eligible for a federally issued export control license

🏖️ Benefits

• Reasonable accommodation available as part of the employment or interview application process • Equal opportunity employment
