Integrated Operations Engineer II - Team YRocket 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!
ELECTRON: Rocket Lab's Electron team is responsible for building, testing, and launching our Electron rocket across our launch sites and test facilities in the United States and New Zealand. Electron is one of the world's most frequently-launched rockets, and our team behind its success are diligent, move fast, and have each others' back to deliver a reliable rocket to the launch pad time and time again.
ABOUT THE ROLE: This role is part of the Integrated Operations team at Rocket Lab which is responsible for testing, launch, and mission operations of Electron launch vehicles starting with stack testing through pre-launch processing, launch operations, and on-orbit operations. Integrated Operations is also responsible for configuration, checkout, and operation of related facilities, equipment, and infrastructure. Testing and operations may be conducted remotely or on-site at propulsion test facilities including the Auckland Mission Control Centre (MCC), LC-1 (Mahia), LC-2 (Wallops Island, VA), or other designated locations.
Team Y (Avionics/Software) are specialists in vehicle avionics and software, responsible for testing vehicle electrical and software systems to ensure they are functional leading up to and during flight. From powering up the vehicle to testing RF systems, your role encompasses a variety of components. This broad knowledge allows the team to support other projects outside of Electron launch operations such as qualification testing, Neutron and Space Systems. Additionally, outside of operations you are expected to work on procedure improvements, tool development and automation.
