ABOUT ROCKET LAB Rocket Lab is an end-to-end space company delivering responsive launch services, complete spacecraft design and manufacturing, payloads, satellite components, and more – all with the goal of opening access to space. The rockets and satellites we build and launch enable some of the most ambitious and vital space missions globally, supporting scientific exploration, Earth observation and missions to combat climate change, national security, and exciting new technology demonstrations. S.

rocket annually and has delivered more than 230 satellites to orbit, all while we work to develop Neutron, our upcoming medium-lift, reusable launch vehicle for larger constellation deployment. Our Space Systems business designs and builds our extensive line of satellites, payloads, and their components, including spacecraft that have been selected to support NASA missions to the Moon and Mars and components used on the James Webb Space Telescope. NEUTRON Neutron is a medium lift launch vehicle capable of delivering the mega constellations of tomorrow, high assurance payloads, and human spaceflight.

As a highly reusable launch platform, Neutron will deliver a highly cost-effective and reliable launch solution leveraging Rocket Lab’s proven execution history with the Electron program. GROUND SYSTEMS ENGINEER I, CONTROLS/MECHATRONICS Based out of Rocket Lab's Test Facility at Stennis Space Center in Mississippi, the Ground Systems Engineer is responsible for critical test facilities to support the Archimedes rocket engine and the Neutron launch vehicle. You will work from conceptual design through build-out and activation of a brand new, from the ground up test facility.

You will support the Fluid Systems and Propulsion organizations through delivery of functional control systems required to perform necessary hot fire tests and checkout functions to ensure successful development and operations of engines and vehicle systems. You will become skilled in Test Operations roles and be expected to work independently in support of the overall test facility design, build and activation efforts! WHAT YOU’LL GET TO DO: Design critical test infrastructure including process diagrams; line drawings; electrical system layout for power, lighting, computer systems; data acquisition system front and back ends; and instrumentation systems Specify and procure electrical and computer systems equipment including data acquisition, PLC, and instrumentation Coordinate with vendors and facilities groups to design, purchase, and fabricate key subsystems.
