**Rocket Lab**
Rocket Lab is a vertically integrated provider of small launch services, satellites, and spacecraft components. Our mission is to open access to space to improve life on Earth. Our team is over 1,500 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.
**Life at Rocket Lab**
**While other companies talk about it, we do it**
**About the team**
The In-Space Propulsion team is one of three teams responsible for developing and delivering qualified, flight-ready space vehicle propulsion systems. The other two teams are responsible for spacecraft fluids systems and propulsion system testing, though there is significant overlap and strong collaboration between the three. The ISP team takes on system-level and component-level ownership, mostly developed in-house from mission requirement through to integration and beyond, including pre-launch, launch, and on orbit operations support. Examples of past work include the Curie and HyperCurie engines, and currently the team is working on the whole propulsion system for ESCAPADE, a NASA science mission to Mars.
The team consists of development engineers with a range of experience level and skill sets. Generally, each engineer is expected to be capable of owning a component or system through its development lifecycle and production implementation. This means that the skillset of the team spans systems engineering, design, build, and test, though individuals may have their specializations. The team works hands-on, often alongside technicians, with development, qualification, and flight hardware. Team members interface regularly with stakeholders across the company, including GNC, Manufacturing Engineering, Production, Flight Software, Analysis, and others.

- Capturing and refining or potentially defining processes that are important to the team's work and performance
- Managing and improving interfaces between the team and internal customers
- Support team members with regular 1:1s, coaching on professional development, and performance reviews
- Ensuring that the team and individual contributors are working in a way that is in the best interest of the Space Systems business unit and broader company
**Essential skills**
- At least 5 years of work in fast-paced development environment in aerospace or similar industries
- At least 1 year of experience in a formal or informal technical leadership role
- Strong understanding of best practices for project management, systems engineering, hardware development process, and configuration management
- Demonstrable ability to move efficiently through development iterations, balancing cost, quality, and timeline effectively.

- Excellent grasp of mechanical engineering fundamentals (e.g. stress, strain, heat transfer, fluid mechanics, mechanisms)
- Good ability to work under pressure and maintain emotional composure under stress
- Engineering degree
**Desired Skills**
