Job description
from Rocket Lab careersABOUT ROCKET LAB
Rocket Lab is an end-to-end space company delivering responsive launch services, complete spacecraft design and manufacturing, payloads, satellite components, and more – all with the goal of opening access space. 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 become the second most frequently launched U.S. rocket annually and has delivered more than 230 satellites to orbit, all while we work to develop Neutron, our upcoming medium-lift, reusable launch vehicle for larger constellation deployment. Our Space Systems business designs and builds our extensive line of satellites, payloads, and their components, including spacecraft that have been selected to support NASA missions to the Moon and Mars and components used on the James Webb Space Telescope.
SENIOR MANUFACTURING ENGINEER - AVIONICS
In this role you’ll have the rare opportunity to work hands-on with Electron, our proven satellite launcher, and Neutron, our next-generation medium-lift rocket. You’ll be at the forefront of transitioning these vehicles from R&D to production, ensuring they meet the highest standards of reliability and performance. This role is more than just engineering – it’s about taking ownership, solving complex problems, and driving innovation in a fast-paced, test-heavy production environment.
