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

**ABOUT SPACE SYSTEMS AT ROCKET LAB**:
Rocket Lab's Space Systems team is responsible for every satellite and satellite component made by Rocket Lab: from complete satellites destined for missions to the Moon and Mars, to the individual components and subsystems that make up a satellite like solar panels, flight software, reaction wheels and star trackers, separation systems, radios, and more. Our Space Systems team is made up of engineers, technicians, and designers who design, create, and put together our own satellites for missions across the commercial, government, and defense sectors, or who build and assemble satellite hardware and software that supports other satellite missions.

**WHAT YOU'LL GET TO DO**:
The Structural & Mechanical Systems team supports the hardware design and development of spacecraft structures, Photon platforms and related Payload and Mission objectives.

The Structural & Mechanical Systems team works closely with other Engineering teams and Production to bring new concepts to life. This includes the development of spacecraft systems, related data structures, and documentation to support the associated manufacturing and performance improvements.

As a Senior Design Engineer at Rocket Lab, you will be strongly influencing the design of numerous spacecraft projects. You will have unparalleled opportunities for end-to-end hardware development and seeing your designs reach space.

Success in this position will be measured by the value of the knowledge and experience in design and manufacturing that you bring into this role, your ability to lead design projects without supervision, successful collaboration with other teams across Rocket Lab, and the skillful prioritization of competing engineering development projects across the group.

**YOU'LL BRING THESE QUALIFICATIONS**:

- Bachelor's degree in engineering (Aerospace/Mechanical/Mechatronics Engineering)
- 5+ years working experience in Engineering
- Significant experience modelling with 3D CAD software, ideally NX CAD, and associated PLM solution (Teamcenter)
- Creative, analytical, good at problem solving
- Ability to work on own initiative with ability to plan own daily workflow to meet higher level tasks
- Clear communication skills

**THESE QUALIFICATIONS WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE**:
Experience in one of the following areas:

- Pressurized mechanical systems
- Mechanical moving assemblies
- Composites structures
- Cryogenic systems including oxygen service systems

If the above sounds like you **apply** now

**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.
