Ground Systems Engineer - Instrumentation & ControlRocket 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.
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: As an Instrumentation and Control Engineer, you will maintain and build control systems that enable Rocket Lab Ground Systems to build world-class facilities, to launch and test our Electron and Neutron Launch vehicles faster than they are produced. Your skill will aid both operational and design functions.
You are part of a team that continuously improves sites and requires you to take ownership of projects. The team will give you a unique opportunity to grow your skills (trained by experts), drive your career, and collaborate on bigger projects. You will make a difference when it comes to delivering projects on time, and enable knowledge transfer over generations of engineers.
YOU'LL BRING THESE QUALIFICATIONS: A tertiary degree in mechatronics or in a comparable fieldWorking knowledge of at least two different types of programming languagesProven communication skills, and the ability to build strong working relationshipsProficiency in identifying software bugs, and ability to employ creative solutions to combat these bugsAbility to document, formulate, track, and follow engineering instructions and documentsAbility to work in a fast-paced, self-driven environmentTHESE QUALIFICATIONS WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE: Experience automating high reliability systems:Structure text by Codesys or BeckhoffObject oriented designPython or C++Gitlab/Git Version Control System knowledge/experienceExperience with industrial machinery and equipmentIf the above sounds like you, apply now! All levels of experience welcomed and considered.
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.
