Senior Software Engineer I/II - Simulation EngineeringPosted today$165K

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

• Architect and deploy large-scale, distributed simulation environments for: complex aerospace systems, including multi-vehicle and constellation-level modeling.

• Develop robust data pipelines to process, analyze, and visualize massive: datasets generated by high-fidelity simulations.

• Derive actionable engineering and mission-level insights through advanced: statistical analysis and data modeling of simulation outputs.

• Optimize simulation infrastructure for high-performance computing (HPC) and: distributed cluster environments to ensure scalability.

• Collaborate with domain experts to define campaign-level requirements and: translate mission objectives into scalable simulation architectures.

• Lead the integration of complex simulation ecosystems, ensuring: synchronization across multiple subsystems and analytical tools.

What they're looking for

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Physics, or a related field.
• + years of industry experience focusing on large-scale simulation: engineering, data analysis, or distributed computational modeling.
• Proficiency in languages used for heavy data analysis and simulation: infrastructure (e.g., Python, C++, or similar).
• Demonstrated experience architecting and analyzing large-scale Monte Carlo campaigns.
