Job description
Quoted in full from K2 Space's job posting. Gavroche does not edit it.
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.
As a Senior Data Analyst on our Enterprise Systems team, you will turn K2 Space's operational data into the insights that drive smarter decisions across satellite design, manufacturing, and mission operations. You'll partner with engineering, production, and finance to understand what's working, what isn't, and what needs to change. Then build the reports, dashboards, and automation that make that visibility scalable. If you're energized by fast-moving environments and want your work to have a direct line to hardware getting to orbit, this role is for you.

- Build and manage data pipelines integrating structured and unstructured data sources across K2's enterprise systems.

- Develop and maintain data retrieval processes and application integrations across multiple systems and data sources.
- Partner with internal stakeholders across Manufacturing, Finance, Propulsion, Materials, and other disciplines to analyze drivers impacting production outputs and operational scaling.
- Develop, maintain, and distribute recurring reports for Manufacturing, Finance, and Production teams, accurately and on schedule.
- Support regulatory, financial, and accounting reporting by compiling and validating the underlying data.
- Evaluate existing processes around data QC, and report distribution. Identify inefficiencies and deliver concrete improvements.
- Own documentation for data tools, analyses, and workflows; keep it current and usable.
- Stay current on advancements in data analytics, automation, AI/ML, and BI tooling.
Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Data Science, Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related STEM discipline.

- Comfortable modifying established workflows and troubleshooting data issues as they arise.
Nice to Have
- Experience with ETL processes and workflow automation.

- Strong knowledge of financial reporting processes.
- Familiarity with physical manufacturing workflows.
- Experience mentoring or informally leading analysts on a data team.
