提案撰写员
Proposal Writer
一个全新的太空操作范式。
我们是谁：
Space Kinetic 是一家双用途太空技术初创公司，正在构建一种全新的太空操作架构——将分布式无人机技术的优势（低成本、操作灵活、可实现、分布式）带入太空任务，同时减少生态系统对消耗性燃料的依赖。在许多公司专注于逐步改进现状的世界里，我们专注于创造完全不同的东西——一种基于新第一性原理的架构，以直面第三太空时代的机遇与挑战。我们的目标是摆脱一对一的太空架构——其中每个星座中的卫星都只有一个（或少数几个）主要有效载荷连接到平台——并解锁“一对多”系统，其中每个卫星拥有大量有效载荷，可以在不使用推进器的情况下以高速从其母船部署。
这不是一个适合传统40小时工作制的职位。Space Kinetic 正在打造雄心勃勃、前所未有的技术，这需要紧迫感、责任感以及对改变我们在太空所做一切基础假设的高度承诺。
你将做什么：
作为 Space Kinetic 的提案撰写人员，你将在获取支持我们使命的合作伙伴、合同和资金方面发挥关键作用。你将主导政府机构、商业客户和战略合作伙伴的高质量提案的开发：将复杂的技术概念转化为有说服力、清晰且符合要求的叙述。这个职位位于战略、工程和业务发展交汇处，提供了一个独特的机会，塑造我们的技术如何被市场理解和采用。
这是一份全职职位，可在 El Segundo 办公室现场工作，或远程工作。
职位职责：
- 从机会分析和大纲制定到最终提交，主导提案的全过程。
- 为国防部（DoD）、SBIR、NASA、商业和战略机会撰写技术准确的内容。
- 将工程和战略输入转化为清晰的叙述、图表和提案组件。
- 确保符合 RFP、RFI 和 BAA 的要求和提交协议。
- 管理提案时间表、内容收集、技术审查、颜色团队审查和制作。
- 维护可重复使用的内容，包括模板、过往表现

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.
This is not a role for someone looking for a traditional 40-hour work week. Space Kinetic is building ambitious, first-of-its-kind technology, and that requires urgency, ownership, and a high level of commitment to changing the foundational assumptions for everything we do in space.
What You’ll Do:
As a Proposal Writer at Space Kinetic, you will play a critical role in securing the partnerships, contracts, and funding that power our mission. You will lead the development of high‑quality proposals for government agencies, commercial customers, and strategic partners: translating complex technical concepts into compelling, clear, and compliant narratives. This role sits at the intersection of strategy, engineering, and business development, offering a unique opportunity to shape how our technology is understood and adopted by the market.

- Ensure compliance with RFP, RFI, and BAA requirements and submission protocols.
- Manage proposal schedules, content collection, technical reviews, color-team reviews, and production.
- Maintain reusable content, including boilerplate, past performance, capability statements, and graphics.
What It Takes:
- Bachelor’s degree in Writing, Engineering, Business, Communications, or a related field.
- 3+ years of proposal writing, technical writing, or government contracting experience.
- Understanding of government procurement, including FAR-based solicitations, SBIR/STTR programs, and OTA or commercial pathways.
- Ability to translate complex technical information into clear and compelling content.
- Strong writing, editing, organization, and project management skills.
- Experience with compliance matrices, color reviews, proposal outlines, and related proposal tools.
- Ability to manage evolving priorities in a fast-paced startup environment.
- Eligibility to obtain and maintain a U.S. TS/SCI clearance.
What We’d Love:
- Aerospace, defense, or advanced manufacturing proposal experience.
- Experience with large-scale IDIQ, BAA, FOA, or SBIR Phase II/III proposals.
- Understanding of classified program workflows.
- Experience creating graphics, infographics, or data visualizations.
Where You’ll Be:
· The position can be onsite in El Segundo, CA or worked remotely.
What We Offer:
- Equity-Based Compensation
- Highly Competitive PTO and Holiday Calendar
- Comprehensive Medical, Dental, and Vision Coverage
- Unique Performance-Based Bonus Structure
