The opportunity
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
Perform prediction of launch vehicle vibration environments based on finite: element analysis and analytical methods
Contribute the test plan definition, support test activities, and post: process test results for dynamic testing (random vibration, acoustics, shock)
Define suitable sensors (type and location) to monitor the in-flight: environments and post process data to verify correlation with numerical predictions
Working closely with avionics, mechanical, fluids, and propulsion team: members to determine suitable mounting strategies for vehicle and ground system components
Collect documentation of test environments and qualification status for vehicle components
A degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering or a similar field
What they're looking for
- + years industry experience, ideally from the Aerospace, Automotive, or Marine industries
- A keen physics-based approach to problem solving
- Demonstrated Experience with sensor selection and data: post-processing/interpretation (accelerometers, strain gauges, thermocouples etc.)
- Demonstrated Experience with static and dynamic structural test methods, including: Modal Characterization
