ABOUT ENGINEERING AT ROCKET LAB:
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.

The Manager - Neutron Software is the people leader for the Neutron Software team and technical point of contact for all Neutron software development and deployment activities, which includes vehicle Flight Software, Tooling, and indirect management of terrestrial software and ground systems software sub-teams. A close working relationship with GNC and HITL teams is also a key dimension of this role.
Leadership responsibilities include oversight and guidance of team members' individual projects, providing clear feedback during design and review, being pro-active in the career development of staff, and fostering a high-performance culture based on ownership, empowerment, and individual accountability. The successful candidate will be highly organised, with a bias for forward planning and the ability to deliver a varied work program against challenging milestones, including mediation on business priority, resource and risk.

Experience with Bazel
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.
