Rocket Lab USA 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 Mission:
We're on a mission to unlock the potential of space to improve life on Earth. 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.
About the Team
The Electron Propulsion Development (EPD) team is one of three development teams in the Electron Engineering organisation responsible for the design and development of the Electron launch vehicle.
