Join our pioneering team and launch your career to new heights
SENIOR COMPONENT MANUFACTURING ENGINEER II
Based out of Rocket Lab's headquarters in Long Beach, CA, the Senior Component Manufacturing Engineer II is responsible for bringing fluid component designs into the real world and assuring they meet the stringent requirements needed for the Neutron program. You will support the Director of Manufacturing and Production/Fluid Systems organizations by standing up a new component development area, supporting component designs early and leading assembly of Neutron components.
WHAT YOU'LL GET TO DO:
Influence the design of critical Neutron components early in the program to aid in producibility, cost, and reliability
Oversee introduction and implementation of new products and product revisions
When required, lead problem containment and root cause/corrective action investigations
Quickly analyze and resolve manufacturing discrepancies and non-conformances
Collaborate with the quality team to identify and drive quality-related initiatives and improvements
Liaison between production, quality, supply chain, and design engineering staff for complex problem solving and process changes
Lead the continuous improvement process via Lean/Six Sigma tools and techniques
Develop, introduce, and maintain new planning, production, quality, ERP, data collection and analysis, and other processes where none exist
YOU'LL BRING THESE QUALIFICATIONS:
Bachelor's degree in mechanical, manufacturing, or aerospace engineering
8+ years of experience troubleshooting valves, actuators, regulators, or similar fluid components during assembly, functional checkouts, or qualification testing
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
Specific vision abilities required by this job include close vision, distance vision, peripheral vision, depth perception, and the ability to focus.
Regularly required to sit, use hands and fingers, operate computer keyboard and controls, and communicate verbally and in writing
Must be physically able to commute to buildings
Occasional exposure to dust, fumes, and moderate levels of noise
Availability to work long hours and weekends as needed based on test and launch schedules
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.
