Integrated Operations Engineer II - Team Z

Rocket Lab is a global leader in launch and space systems. The rockets and satellites we build and launch enable some of the most ambitious and vital space missions globally, supporting scientific exploration, Earth observation and missions to combat climate change, national security, and exciting new technology demonstrations. Our Electron rocket has provided reliable access to orbit since 2018, becoming one of the most frequently launched rockets in the world. Neutron will be our next rocket on the launch pad, an advanced 13-tonne payload class, reusable rocket to launch the mega constellations of the future. Our space systems business includes our extensive line of satellites and components that have enabled more than 1,700 missions including the James Webb Space Telescope, NASA Psyche Mission, Artemis I, Mars Ingenuity helicopter, and more.

Join our pioneering team and launch your career to new heights

Engineering is at the heart of Rocket Lab. Our engineering team has a proven track record of designing and developing world-class rockets and spacecraft that are changing the way we access and use space. You'll work alongside driven, talented engineers from varied backgrounds and experience levels, all committed to the same mission. Our engineering team members span design, analysis, prototyping, testing, manufacturing, assembly and integration, quality control, engineering documentation, operations and more.

WHAT YOU'LL GET TO DO:

Integrated Operations is the Rocket Lab organization responsible for integrated testing and operations of all major products at Rocket Lab, primarily charged with launching Electron, as well as performing major system testing for Space Systems and Neutron Products. Integrated Operations is also responsible for configuration, checkout, and operation of Test and Launch facilities, equipment, and infrastructure. Testing and operations may be conducted remotely or on-site at propulsion test facilities, the Auckland Mission Control Centre (MCC), LC-1 (Mahia), LC-2 (Wallops Island, VA), or other designated locations.

The Engineer II is an intermediate role in Integrated Operations. The Engineer II will have a command of various disciplines related to testing and operations. The Engineer II will typically be skilled in multiple operational roles, including test and operational lead roles where he/she will direct other operators during testing and operations. The Engineer II will routinely mentor and train other operators. The Engineer II will take a leadership/ownership role in Integrated Operations projects and process/tool development efforts.

YOU'LL BRING THESE:

  • Aerospace, mechanical, electrical, mechatronic engineering degree or equivalent
  • 2-3+ years of experience in engineering design, test and/or operations
  • Ability to read, understand and follow detailed schematics, drawings, and instructions
  • Self-driven, motivated, and contagiously positive
  • Proven communication skills and the ability to build strong working relationships
  • Careful work ethic with an eye for detail
  • Ability to work under pressure and to strict deadlines
  • Ability to work at heights and in confined spaces

THESE WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE:

  • 3+ years of experience in engineering design, test and/or operations
  • Experience working with launch vehicles or spacecraft including integration, testing, launch, and mission operations
  • Experience in a high-pressure, high-intensity realtime operations environment
  • Experience with commissioning High Pressure/Hazardous/Electrical Launch Systems
  • Experience in operating Launch Pad Systems
  • Experience with Java, Python, or other object-oriented programming language
  • Experience with LabVIEW and PLC development for data acquisition & Realtime control
  • Experience with CAD systems preferably Siemens NX

If the above is aligned and you would like to know more apply now, all applications are considered and reviewed.

WHAT TO EXPECT

We're on a mission to unlock the potential of space to improve life on Earth, but that's not an easy task. It takes hard work, determination, relentless innovation, teamwork, grit, and an unwavering commitment to achieving what others often deem impossible. Our people out-think, out-work and out-pace. We pride ourselves on having each other's backs, checking our egos at the door, and rolling up our sleeves on all tasks big and small. We thrive under pressure, work to tight deadlines, and our focus is always on how we can deliver, rather than dwelling on the challenges that stand in the way.
