Systems Engineer - MechanicalNew
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
Drive cross-functional teams to ensure mechanical and fluid systems integrate: seamlessly to deliver the vehicle's objectives, proactively identifying system-level impacts to allow seamless integration.
Work closely with design teams to verify requirements through analysis and: test, ensuring that verification artefacts are documented and linked to requirements.
Take ownership of emergent systems that don't have a natural home;: architecting the solution and driving it through design, verification, and implementation.
Define and improve interface management processes, closing the gap between: early project tools and production suitable systems.
Contribute to technical program decisions by identifying gaps in systems: architecture, requirements, or process and building the fix, not just flagging the problem.
Communicate internally and externally on the product status, often with incomplete information.
What they're looking for
- Define and uphold high-quality systems engineering processes.
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Engineering (or equivalent experience)
- year’s industry experience applied to a relevant technical field (i.e.: Structures, Fluid Systems, Mechanisms, Propulsion)
- Demonstrated experience in delivering complex multidisciplinary systems: consisting of fluid systems, structures, mechanisms and/or propulsion with a broader awareness of other launch vehicle disciplines such as avionics hardware, avionics software, GNC, and/or Radio Communications.
