Achieve Greatness as a Senior Spacecraft Systems Engineer at Rocket Lab

Rocket Lab, a global leader in launch and space systems, is seeking a highly skilled Senior Spacecraft Systems Engineer to join our team. As a key member of our systems engineering team, you will play a critical role in the development and maintenance of technical budgets, requirements definition, test planning, and execution. Your hands-on experience with flight hardware and technical development of spacecraft missions will drive our success.

We are looking for a seasoned engineer with 5+ years of experience in the aerospace industry, supporting satellite or spacecraft development programs. A Bachelor's degree in engineering (software, computer, electrical, aerospace, mechanical, or other technical engineering discipline) is required. If you have a Master's or PhD in engineering, it would be a great plus.

This position offers an estimated salary of $140,000 - $160,000 per year, based on your qualifications and experience. You may also be eligible for company stock, cash incentives, and discounted stock purchase through our Employee Stock Purchase Program. Our benefits package includes medical, dental, and vision insurance coverage; 401(k) retirement plan options; paid vacation, holidays, and sick leave; and other discounts and perks.

As a Senior Spacecraft Systems Engineer, you will work on cutting-edge programs for civil, commercial, and defense customers. You will develop and maintain technical budgets, system requirements, and verification techniques. You will lead and own technical development of spacecraft missions and assist with program and product management. If you are passionate about space exploration and willing to take on new challenges, we encourage you to apply.

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 focus on how we can deliver rather than dwelling on the challenges that stand in the way.
