Principal Stage Fluids EngineerActive$162K

Rocket Lab is the end-to-end space company building rockets, spacecraft, and critical subsystems that keep the world connected, protected, expand humanity’s reach to the Moon, Mars, and beyond. We move fast, build real hardware for meaningful missions, and make the impossible routine.

What you'll do

• Design plumbing systems, components, and their secondary structures. Provide: feedback to your peers on their designs, drawings, and methodology.

• Analyze these systems and components in the harsh and dynamic environments of: launch. Review and provide feedback for critical structural analysis of fluid components and systems.

• Model these systems to characterize and predict system behavior at all: conditions. Understand and interpret models of others and work to improve efficacy of modelling.

• Test and qualify these systems, components, and modules.

• Manage requirements, realization, and implementation of systems in the larger launch vehicle context.

• Integrate your hardware into the vehicle.

What they're looking for

• Review data from component, system, and vehicle level testing to optimize and improve future designs.
• Collaborate with components, propulsion, structures, mechanical, operations,: and flight software teams to develop and define vehicle functions.
• Create tools to enhance the team’s analysis capabilities, streamline workflow and optimize launch operations.
• Set the standard for design, production, and testing processes. Enforce these: standards across the program and beyond.
