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, and more.
WHAT YOU'LL GET TO DO:
As the Senior Avionics Development Engineer, you'll be a key figure in our engineering team, leading the design and testing of Avionics components for the Electron launch vehicle. Your role involves expert-level electronic circuit and PCB design, ensuring mission-critical and safety-critical systems meet aviation standards. From pioneering test systems to production-ready avionics, you'll drive development from concept to implementation, including software and custom electronics.
YOU'LL BRING THESE QUALIFICATIONS:
- Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or other engineering
- 5+ years of experience with hardware development or electronics test engineering
THESE QUALIFICATIONS WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE:
- Experience designing hardware from concept through to implementation
- Understanding of electronic circuits, design principles, and SMT manufacturing
- Understanding and experience in environmental design testing, such as vibration, shock, thermal, and TVAC
- Understanding of interfaces and sensors including power supplies, oscilloscopes, serial devices, and instrumentation
- Excellent communication both written and verbal, including creating material for distribution to external parties
- Altium user to intermediate or higher status
- NX, SolidWorks or other 3D CAD
- Demonstrated experience working in fast-paced environments
- Programming experience in Python, C/C++
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.
