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. Additive Manufacturing Engineer I/II 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. If you’re interested in joining a high performing team and pushing the boundaries of humanity with a clean sheet, reusable launch vehicle, this is your opportunity! ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING ENGINEER – DED Based at Rocket Lab's headquarters in Long Beach, California, the Additive Manufacturing Engineer-DED is responsible for supporting the development of various directed energy deposition (DED, EHLA, Hybrid Solutions) with various alloys.

This role will support all Additive processes involved with the Archimedes engines. You will support the Manager of Additive Manufacturing Engineering and Production organization with deliverables required for internal leadership, board of directors, and investors. WHAT YOU’LL GET TO DO: Develop printing parameters for various metallic alloys using a variety of printing methods (DED; Hybrid; monolithic & graded alloys).

Create new and improve existing print programs. Provide engineering support for the day-to-day Additive Manufacturing operations. Work closely with downstream support functions to ensure print geometries can be effectively post processed.

Ability to provide critical feedback during the DfAM process. Work closely with Design & Manufacturing Engineers to design specific types of Additive Manufacturing. Effectively communicate why specific aspects of DfAM are necessary.
