Propulsion Technician (Evening Shift)

Details of the offer

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 is the fastest commercial launch to reach 50 launches in the world! The team behind its success is diligent, moves fast, and has each other's back to deliver a reliable rocket to the launch pad time and time again.
WHAT YOU'LL GET TO DO:
The Propulsion Technician team works closely with engineering and production teams to achieve the highest product quality and safety standards for Electron propulsion.
Propulsion Technicians receive engines and components from Production departments and complete the final assembly, testing, and any maintenance activities required for those engines at the Test Complex.
Testing involves acceptance, qualification, and sometimes development testing for the Rutherford engines, Curie engines, and Electron stages. In addition to testing, facility infrastructure work is required from time to time to support maintenance, upgrades, and contributions to new projects.
Propulsion Technicians are given a primary responsibility in one of three WorkCentres (Engine Test, Stage Test, or Propulsion Assembly) and cross-functional collaboration is in support of another WorkCentre as agreed with Management.
As a Technician, you will be hands-on, working with tools, equipment, and/or facilities to build, launch, or test Rocket Lab launch vehicles or components. Your responsibilities contribute to the overall production and launch schedule.

If you would like to know more or receive a full position description, apply now! All applications are considered and reviewed.
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.
