**WHAT YOU'LL GET TO DO**:
Rocket Lab seeks a Senior Configuration Management Engineer to help build the Neutron: Rocket Lab's medium lift, reusable launch vehicle capable of human spaceflight.

As a Senior Configuration Management Engineer, you will guide a set of multi-disciplinary teams to align Neutron's portfolio of products with the program's strategy; functional, performance, and safety requirements; and technical maturity phases.

Configuration Management Engineers combine technical excellence with strengths in technical planning and communication.
- You will combine technical expertise in fluid systems, structures, mechanisms and/or propulsion with a broader awareness of several other launch vehicle disciplines such as avionics hardware, avionics software, GNC, and/or Radio Communications. Ideally, you have direct experience in the development, integration, and operation of launch systems
- You will be adept at managing to a plan, and comfortable adjusting in response to evolving requirements or external constraints
- You will be able to clearly describe Neutron's architecture to internal and external customers, and to inspire a team to deliver this vision

**DAY TO DAY YOUR RESPONSIBILTIES COULD INCLUDE**:

- Driving our Engineering Change Process (ECR & ECN), working closely with design engineers, manufacturing engineers, planners, and our production team
- Establish, guide, and maintain our Engineering and Manufacturing Bill of Materials (eBOM, mBOM), working cross-functionally to ensure our Master Data remains up to date, and the team are aligned across a common set of release targets for both development testing and our flight manifest
- Contribute to planning and project coordination across the program in order to implement design changes and process improvement activities
- Proactively identify and solve technical challenges to allow projects to proceed at pace
- Mentor and technically assist other engineers

**YOU'LL BRING THESE QUALIFICATIONS**:

- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Engineering (or equivalent experience)
- 5+ year's industry experience in a relevant technical field (i.e. Structures, Fluid Systems, Mechanisms, Propulsion)
- Proven track record of technical leadership and mentorship on projects from concept to completion
- Proven communication skills and the ability to build strong working relationships with colleagues and engineering professionals
- The ability to work to tight deadlines within a high-pressure environment
- Strong desire to learn new material in order to solve difficult, ambiguous challenges.
- Working knowledge of Engineering design, CAD, Engineering drawings, manufacturing processes
- Strong understanding of the Engineering Change Process and associated Configuration Management
- PDM and other CAD file database experience

**THESE QUALIFICATIONS WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE**:

- Understanding of Engineering change and associated part numbering and revision schemes
- Project Management experience
- Working knowledge of SQL Databases
- ERP Experience

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.
