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
Lead and own integration and test campaigns for flight motion systems at: various levels of assembly, from actuators and mechanisms through subsystem and spacecraft
Integrate and test motor control electronics with motors, actuators, and: mechanisms, including closed-loop performance characterization (torque, speed, position, and current loop behavior)
Work collaboratively with design, controls, and systems engineers to define: requirements, as well as verification and validation (V&V) plans and requirements compliance
Develop and present materials for customer and company stakeholder reviews, including SRR, PDR, CDR, and TRR
Develop acceptance, qualification, and R&D test plans and procedures for flight mechanisms and motion systems
Plan and execute environmental qualification and acceptance testing (Vibe,: Shock, TVAC, Thermal, EMI/EMC, etc.), including functional and performance testing before, during, and after environmental exposure
What they're looking for
- Develop, maintain, and operate mechanical and electrical ground support: equipment, such as motor/load test stands, dynamometers, and test fixtures
- Develop and maintain test automation and data acquisition for motion systems;: interface with ground test software and implement flight software configuration changes
- Lead investigations into anomalous mechanism and motor control behavior,: driving root cause and corrective action
- Interface with hardware-in-the-loop test systems
