Job description

A New Paradigm For Space Operations.

Who We Are:

Space Kinetic is a dual use space technology startup building a completely new architecture for space operations – one that brings the advantages of proliferated drone technology (low-cost, operationally flexible, attainable, distributed) to space missions while reducing the ecosystem's reliance on consumable fuel. In a world where many companies are focused on incrementally improving the status quo, we are focused on creating something entirely different – an architecture underpinned by new first principles to meet the opportunities and challenges of the third space age head‑on. Our goal is to move away from one-to-one space architectures – where each satellite in a constellation has one (or a small # of) primary payloads attached to the bus – and unlock a ‘one-to-many’ system, where each satellite has a large number of payloads which can be deployed from their host spacecraft at high velocities without firing a thruster.

What You’ll Do:

As a Security Guard, you will support daily site security operations and help maintain a safe, professional, and secure environment for personnel, visitors, and company property at our El Segundo facility. This role will support access control, visitor management, facility monitoring, and general site security activities in a fast‑paced aerospace startup environment.

This position is highly visible and plays an important role in maintaining operational discipline, professionalism, and facility awareness while supporting company growth.

Key Responsibilities:

• Monitor and control access to the facility and verify authorized entry
• Greet and assist visitors, candidates, vendors, and contractors entering the site
• Support visitor sign‑in procedures and maintain visitor logs
• Conduct routine patrols of the facility and surrounding areas
• Monitor security cameras, alarms, and facility activity
• Report security incidents, safety concerns, or suspicious activity promptly
• Assist with enforcing company security and facility policies
• Support after‑hours security monitoring as needed
• Help maintain a professional and secure onsite environment
• Coordinate with operations, leadership, and facility personnel as needed

What It Takes:

• High school diploma or equivalent
• Prior security, military, law enforcement, facility monitoring, or related experience preferred
• Professional demeanor and strong communication skills
• Comfortable working in a fast‑paced operational environment
• Strong attention to detail and situational awareness
• Reliable, punctual, and able to exercise sound judgment
• Ability to remain calm and professional under pressure
• Comfortable interacting with employees, visitors, vendors, and leadership personnel
• Ability to work flexible schedules, including evenings or weekends if required

What We’d Love:

• Experience in aerospace, defense, manufacturing, or industrial facility environments
• Experience with access control systems or facility monitoring
• CPR/First Aid certification
• Active security clearance or ability to obtain one
• Interest in supporting national security and aerospace operations

Our vision is unique, and so is the team we’re building. If you’re driven to succeed in this role, even if your background doesn’t fully align with every qualification, we want your application.

Compensation:

• $18.00 - $24.00/hr.

Where You’ll Be:

• The position is an onsite role at our headquarters in El Segundo, CA. Domestic travel may be required (up to ~20% of the year).

What We Offer:

• Equity‑Based Compensation
• Highly Competitive PTO and Holiday Calendar
• Comprehensive Medical, Dental, and Vision Coverage
• Unique Performance‑Based Bonus Structure
• Health and Wellness Stipend
• Commuter Benefits
