We move fast, build real hardware for meaningful missions, and make the impossible routine. Come shape the future with us.

NEUTRON

Neutron is a medium-lift launch vehicle being developed by Rocket Lab, a publicly traded end-to-end space company. The rocket can deliver the mega constellations of tomorrow, enable interplanetary payloads, and support human spaceflight. As a reusable platform, Neutron will deliver a very cost-effective and reliable launch solution leveraging Rocket Lab's proven history with Electron – the second most launched rocket, worldwide, in 2024. If you're interested in joining an incredible team in a fast-paced and rewarding environment, this is your opportunity.

HASTE

HASTE (Hypersonic Accelerator Suborbital Test Electron) is a specialized variant of Rocket Lab's proven Electron launch vehicle, designed to support hypersonic flight testing and research missions. Operating from Rocket Lab's Launch Complex 3 at Wallops Island, Virginia, Electron HASTE provides a unique capability to deliver hypersonic test vehicles to the required flight conditions for cutting-edge aerodynamic and propulsion research. The program represents an exciting evolution of the Electron platform, supporting critical national defense and aerospace research objectives while maintaining Rocket Lab's commitment to rapid, reliable launch operations.

Lead, Test & Launch Engineer – Avionics

Based out of Rocket Lab’s Launch Complex 3 in Wallops Island, VA, the Lead Test and Launch Operations Engineer are responsible for the end-to-end testing, launch, and mission operations of Electron and Neutron launch vehicles, including the configuration and operation of related facilities and infrastructure. As a senior operational leader, you will oversee teams of engineers, manage operational projects, and ensure the readiness and capability of your discipline area. You will develop training programs, conduct operational readiness reviews, and serve as the primary technical authority for your systems during mission-critical operations. In this role, you will coordinate across disciplines to resolve complex issues, drive process improvements, and ensure operational procedures and infrastructure scale to support an increasing launch cadence. The Lead Test and Launch Operations Engineer balances time between Mission Control operations, team leadership, and strategic planning for future operational capabilities.

WHAT YOU'LL GET TO DO:

Lead and manage a team of Engineers responsible for avionics hardware, software, and ground station systems for Electron and Neutron launch operations
Work in Mission Control as the console operator for avionics systems during test campaigns, rehearsals, and launch operations
Develop and maintain Concept of Operations (CONOPS) for avionics systems, flight software, and ground networks
Create and continuously improve test plans, operational procedures, and checklists for avionics operations
Design and implement Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs) for avionics monitoring, telemetry display, and ground station control
Lead operational readiness reviews, training simulations, and mission rehearsals for avionics operations
Perform real-time troubleshooting and data analysis during live operations to resolve avionics and communication system anomalies
Conduct post-test and post-launch data analysis to identify trends, anomalies, and improvement opportunities
Develop comprehensive training programs and qualification matrices to ensure operators are prepared for console positions
Lead structured root-cause analysis and corrective action programs for avionics anomalies
Drive the development of Neutron avionics operations procedures and testing campaigns
Responsible for leading teams of engineers, managing operational projects, and ensuring the overall readiness and capability of their discipline area.
Develop training programs, conduct operational readiness reviews, and serve as the primary technical authority for their systems during mission-critical operations

Demonstrated proficiency with avionics hardware, flight software systems, and ground station operations
Experience with high-reliability software systems and safety-critical aerospace software
Experience with RF systems, ground stations, telemetry systems, or avionics networking infrastructure
Demonstrated leadership competencies, especially change management, conflict resolution, knowing when to escalate/request help, and effectively managing a team
Understanding of operations involving complex software and hardware systems
Experience developing operational procedures, test plans, and conducting mission simulations

THESE QUALIFICATIONS WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE:

Experience working in Mission Control or similar operational control environments
Aviation/Aircrew/Flight Test may be considered an alternative
Experience with launch vehicle or spacecraft avionics including integration, testing, launch, or mission operations
Experience with flight software development, verification, or operations
Experience with ground station operations, RF link analysis, or telemetry processing
Track record of leading teams
Experience with real-time embedded systems or flight control software
Knowledge of DO-178C or other software certification standards
Experience with data acquisition systems and real-time monitoring systems
Experience developing HMIs for operational monitoring and control systems

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:

This position may require prolonged periods of sitting, standing, walking, computer work, and occasional exposure to moderate levels of noise, dust, and fumes in production areas.

Anticipated annual equity grant value is designed around function, level, experience, and other factors; realized value depends on vesting and stock-price performance.

Join one of the world's fastest-growing space companies and own a piece of it. In addition to competitive base pay, you'll receive company stock as part of your total compensation package, giving you a direct stake in our success. As we expand to new launch sites, groundbreaking missions, and global markets, your ownership has the opportunity to grow alongside the company.

Our comprehensive benefits package includes our industry-leading Employee Stock Purchase Program (with a 15% discount on company stock), top-tier medical plans, dental and vision coverage, paid vacation and sick time, 11 paid holidays, flexible spending and dependent care accounts, paid parental leave, disability and life insurance, 401(k) retirement plan with company match, and other discounts and perks.

The expected salary range for the position is displayed in accordance with the state of Virginia’s pay transparency requirements. Level and base salary will be determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on the following considerations: job-related knowledge and skills, education, and experience.

Total Compensation (base and equity)

$149,000 - $174,000 USD

Base Salary

$107,000 - $147,000 USD

WHAT TO EXPECT

We’re on a mission to unlock the potential of space to improve life on Earth, but that’s not an easy task. It takes hard work, determination, relentless innovation, teamwork, grit, and an unwavering commitment to achieving what others often deem impossible. Our people out-think, out-work, and out-pace. We pride ourselves on having each other’s backs, checking our egos at the door, and rolling up our sleeves on all tasks big and small. We thrive under pressure, work to tight deadlines, and our focus is always on how we can deliver, rather than dwelling on the challenges that stand in the way.
