**About Rocket Lab**
Rocket Lab is the global leader in small satellite launch. Our mission is to open access to space to improve life on Earth. There are endless possibilities for what we can achieve with better access to space, and that access is now a reality thanks to Rocket Lab. Our team is 500 people strong and we’re adding to it every week. Collaboration is at our core - every idea is heard, and everyone makes a difference. Teams are nimble, decisions are made quickly, and we are action-oriented.
**While other companies talk about it, we do it**
**About the role**
In this role, you will play a key role in supporting the development of Guidance, Navigation and Control (GNC) software for both our Electron and Neutron launch vehicles. You’ll spend your days participating in all aspects of algorithm development, physical system modelling, 6DOF simulation, software development and testing. And when we say test, we mean your algorithms and software will be on orbit within weeks and months, not years. Thanks to having our own rockets and launch sites, we have frequent opportunities to test and operate our software on orbit.
This role is for someone who wants to see their ideas and software make a big impact on the way we explore space and use it as a platform for discovery and innovation. While your algorithms and software settle into life in space, you’ll be based in our Auckland Production Complex working amongst the rockets and Photon spacecraft as they’re built and collaborating with the vibrant, dedicated, and talented people who have made Rocket Lab into the global leader it is today.
**Essential Skills**
- Bachelor, Masters or Ph.D. in Electronics, Software, Mechatronics or Aerospace Engineering
- 3+ years’ experience developing in C/C++ including some embedded or high reliability development
- 3+ years’ experience developing in Python or MATLAB
- A good theoretical and/or practical understanding of rigid body dynamics
- Experience with flight simulator or flight software development for UAV’s, rockets or spacecraft
- Understanding of orbital mechanics and/or closed-loop control systems
- The ability to work under pressure and to tight deadlines
- Excellent communication skills with the ability to build strong working relationships
**Desired Skills**
- Experience with Git version control
- Experience working in a continuous integration environment
- Experience with Simulink
- Experience working within an Agile/Scrum based workflow
**Rocket Lab Employee Benefits**:
- The opportunity to work on innovative and ground breaking technology
- Access to world leading experts to develop your career
- Unlimited barista coffee, fruit and snacks
- Rocket Lab merchandise - T-shirts, mission patches etc.
- Discounted health insurance with Southern Cross
