You’ll also have the opportunity to help shape the Recruiting function as a whole. While you’ll have the support of experienced talent leaders, you’ll be expected to operate with a high degree of ownership and autonomy to help support our mission. This role requires in person presence at our headquarters in Torrance, CA.

Responsibilities

• Partner closely with department leaders to do workforce planning and develop hiring strategies to help fill their needed growth targets with exceptional talent
• Proactively source and attract top talent by developing relationships with top university programs, labs, trade schools, and talent niches
• Screen candidates and help increase awareness of K2 Space’s mission and talent brand
• Design and refine interview processes to increase confidence in candidate selection and reduce bias
• Collaborate with the executive team to develop compelling closing strategies and resources

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree
• 5+ years of professional experience as a recruiter
• Experience recruiting for electrical, mechanical, and/or software engineering roles
• Full‑cycle recruiting experience from sourcing through closing
• Experience supporting multiple high priority hiring needs concurrently
• Ability to communicate dynamically and build strong relationships with candidates and hiring partners

Nice to Have

• 4+ years of experience recruiting for technical roles
• Strong experience in an organization with high‑level regulations and compliance such as ITAR and OFCCP
• Space or aerospace industry experience
• Prior success in a high‑velocity and dynamic company
• Experience developing new or unique sourcing strategies
• Experience interfacing with, coaching, and giving feedback to senior leaders
• Highly self‑motivated with a sense of urgency and poised under pressure

Compensation and Benefits

• Base salary range for this role is $110,000 - $150,000 + equity in the company
• Salary will be based on several factors including, but not limited to: knowledge and skills, education, and experience level
• Comprehensive benefits package including paid time off, medical/dental/vision coverage, life insurance, paid parental leave, and many other perks

Export Compliance

As defined in the ITAR, “U.S. Persons” include U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents (i.e., Green Card holders), and certain protected individuals (e.g., refugees/asylees, American Samoans). Please consult with a knowledgeable advisor if you are unsure whether you are a “U.S. Person.” The person hired for this role will have access to information and items controlled by U.S. export control regulations, including the export control regulations outlined in the International Traffic in Arms Regulation (ITAR). The person hired for this role must therefore either be a “U.S. person” as defined or otherwise eligible for a federally issued export control license.
