Systems Engineer – Configuration and Change ManagementNew

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

• Drive the Engineering Change Management (ECM) process by collaborating: closely with Systems Engineering, Design, Manufacturing, Quality, and Supply Chain teams to ensure modifications are implemented swiftly and without faults.

• Identify and verify system level impacts of changes, ensuring that the: overall integrated launch vehicle will truly be improved through the implementation of proposed changes.

• Execute against the project’s configuration management plan, while actively: identifying opportunities to mature our baseline control.

• Roughly 20% of your time will deliver rigorous configuration validation: confirming fit, form, function (f/f/f), ensuring EBOM-to-MBOM integrity, and managing end-of-life obsolescence procedures alongside Supply Chain.

• Continuous improvement and automation of our data integrity checks across our: tools to catch missing components, mismatched revision tables, and broken ERP syncs before they impact production.

• Act as a power user of Teamcenter, Jira, and Infor LN, tracking progress and: ensuring data smoothly crosses the boundaries between design, manufacturing, and enterprise resource planning.
