K2 Space Corporation Benefits Overview

Design and integrate photonic integrated circuits, high-speed modulators, optical I/O, RF interfaces, and rugged space-qualified packages. Lead PIC layout, simulation, tapeout, packaging, bias control, characterization, and radiation, thermal-vacuum, and vibration qualification. Collaborate with systems, RF, ASIC, manufacturing, test, automation, foundry, and packaging teams to develop photonic hardware for satellites and deep-space missions.

Own photonic integrated-circuit design automation, inverse-design and AI-guided optimization, parametric layouts, simulation, DRC/LVS verification, and fabrication-aware modeling. Design and characterize photonic device blocks through tapeout, maintain component libraries and compact models, and connect design tools with automated testing and calibration systems. Develop behavioral and physical models for photonic circuits, links, lasers, and gain media while supporting system co-design, documentation, reviews, and team mentoring.

Design and develop high-performance RF and millimeter-wave MMICs for satellite communications, including power amplifiers, low-noise amplifiers, and RF switches. Own designs from architecture through layout, electromagnetic simulation, tapeout, characterization, and system integration. Optimize performance across power, efficiency, linearity, noise, bandwidth, and robustness while collaborating with RF systems, antenna, packaging, and transceiver teams.
