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: Flight software provides critical support to vehicle systems during launch and on orbit, operating launch vehicle and spacecraft avionics, collecting and distributing telemetry and commands, and hosting guidance, navigation and control software and algorithms. Flight Software Engineers are responsible for creation, maintenance and support of software components, functions or services on the Electron launch vehicle, Photon spacecraft, and associated ground-based communication systems.
YOU'LL BRING THESE QUALIFICATIONS: An engineering degree in computer science, electrical engineering, computer engineering, or equivalent qualification.3+ years of demonstrated applicable experience in embedded software development.Software development within a Linux environment, specifically embedded applications.Proficiency in C and C++ languages and development environments.Demonstrated success working in a dynamic environment with multiple priorities.Document management & software systems engineering experience.THESE QUALIFICATIONS WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE: Experience with Real Time Operating Systems (RTOS) such as uC/OS or FreeRTOS.Experience with Embedded Linux, including deployment (e.g. Yocto).Experience writing embedded software within a multi-threaded/multi-processor environment.Proficiency developing embedded software to interface with serial (UART, SPI, I2C) devices.Experience developing software and drivers with CAN/CAN-FD and/or UDP/TCP within an embedded system.Experience developing within Python.Experience working within an agile workflow.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.
