Senior Supply Chain Operations Engineer

K2 is building the largest and highest-power satellites ever flown, unlocking performance levels previously out of reach across every orbit. Backed by over $1 billion in total funding from leading investors including Altimeter Capital, ICONIQ, Kleiner Perkins, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Redpoint Ventures, and T. Rowe Price — and with over $1 billion in signed contracts across commercial and US government customers, we're mass-producing the highest-power satellite platforms ever built for missions from LEO to deep space.
The rise of heavy-lift launch vehicles is shifting the industry from an era of mass constraint to one of mass abundance, and we believe this new era demands a fundamentally different class of spacecraft. Engineered to survive the harshest radiation environments and to fully capitalize on today's and tomorrow's massive rockets, K2 satellites deliver unmatched capability at constellation scale and across multiple orbits.
With multiple launches in 2027 and plans to scale to 100 satellites a year, we're Building Bigger — helping develop the solar system and build toward a Kardashev Type II (K2) civilization. If you are a motivated individual who thrives in a fast-paced environment and you're excited about contributing to the success of a high-growth Series D-funded company, we'd love for you to apply.
The Role
You will design, model and optimize the data, metrics and analytics behind K2 Space’s supply chain network. You will be the subject matter expert in supply chain analytics and inventory best practices for hardware, building a data-driven supply chain that gives us a competitive advantage, owning the accuracy and visibility needed to hit program build targets, and helping team members hold the same high standards in how they use data. Key skills include a deep understanding of ERP, MRP and MES systems and the data in them, the ability to turn complex data into clear insights and decisions, and strong knowledge of inventory management, logistics network modeling and Bill of Material (BOM) data integrity. You will work closely with procurement, operations, finance, engineering and external partners to deliver hardware that meets cost, schedule and quality targets for our company-critical missions.
Responsibilities
Design, build and maintain dashboards that give real-time visibility into inventory, material flow, supplier performance and other supply chain KPIs, using existing ERP, MRP, and MES data
Build a metrics framework for the supply chain team that defines what success looks like, ties each measure to company and program goals, and sets clear ownership for each metric
Audit and validate data across systems (ERP, MRP, WMS, PLM) so that part masters, BOMs, lead times, costs and inventory records are accurate and consistent
Model how material moves between warehouses, stocking locations and production sites to make flow, transit time and handling cost more efficient
Find bottlenecks, redundant moves and capacity limits in the logistics network, and propose process improvements
Review inventory parameters such as min/max levels regularly and adjust them as demand, supply risk, or program needs change
Work with procurement and supplier development engineering teams to generate data-driven cost insights to use in supplier negotiations and sourcing decisions
Act as the analytical partner for procurement, operations, finance and engineering on supply chain decisions
Qualifications
3+ years of experience in supply chain engineering, supply chain analytics or operations in a hardware or manufacturing environment
Strong hands-on experience pulling, cleaning and analyzing data from ERP, MRP and MES systems
