Jobs at One Kappa

• Day-to-day IT execution. Be the first point of contact for internal IT issues. Diagnose problems, communicate clearly, restore service, and close the loop with the people affected.
• Devices and workstations. Purchase, provision, configure, maintain, and troubleshoot laptops, engineering workstations, peripherals, printers, and meeting-room equipment. Keep asset records, spares, and software licenses organized.

• Own build quality from incoming parts through aircraft assembly, working hands-on with manufacturing, engineering, test, and supply chain.
• Create practical inspection criteria for purchased parts, composite structures, avionics, wiring, and mechanical assemblies; establish first-article checks for new suppliers and design changes.

Icarus was founded on the belief that the Stratosphere is the Forgotten Frontier and that reclaiming it will define the next era of aerospace and what is possible from the sky. We build solar-powered aircraft that fly at 60,000 ft for weeks at a time, delivering persistent, affordable, and scalab...

• Network Engineering:

Design, deploy, and maintain networking infrastructure
Configure and manage routers, switches, VPNs, firewalls (including Palo Alto), and network segmentation for both on-site and field-deployed systems
Solve novel networking challenges at field events and exercises—each deployment may involve different radio systems, routing paradigms, and connectivity constraints
Build and document network architectures that are flexible enough to support rapidly evolving mission requirement

• Design flight test campaigns, test cards, and pass/fail criteria from first flight through envelope expansion.
• Define what we measure: instrumentation, sensors, data acquisition, and telemetry requirements.

• Build and own end-to-end software systems that power flight operations, autonomy, and user interaction
• Develop mission-critical backend services for telemetry, command and control, data ingestion, and analytics

• Build and ship flight-critical embedded software for long-endurance stratospheric aircraft
• Own embedded subsystems end to end: architecture, implementation, bring-up, debugging, test, and flight validation

• Design and fly lightweight, high-reliability structures for stratospheric aircraft
• Own mechanical subsystems from concept to flight
