Original job description

ABOUT ROCKET LAB

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. Come shape the future with us.

SPACE SYSTEMS

At Rocket Lab, we’re not just launching rockets - we're building the future of space. Our Space Systems team builds everything from complete spacecraft, precision payloads to the components and subsystems that allow them to thrive in space, like solar panels, flight software, star trackers, optical systems, separation systems, radios, and more.

Our Space Systems team has enabled more than 1,700 missions, ranging from interplanetary exploration, in-space manufacturing to national security and defense initiatives. The team has built spacecraft, payloads, and components for missions to the Moon and Mars, working with partners including NASA, the Space Development Agency, and the U.S. Space Force. Whether it’s a single high-performance spacecraft, constellation, or the vertically integrated components that help them get to space - our world class Space Systems team is empowering some of the boldest and most ambitious space missions.

SENIOR GROUND SOFTWARE ENGINEER I

As a Senior Ground Software Engineer I based out of Rocket Lab’s global headquarters in Long Beach, CA, you will serve as a technical authority for spacecraft ground software across our Space Systems missions. You will help define and evolve the end-to-end architecture of ground systems, ensuring scalability, reliability, and mission success for both internal teams and external customers. This role is highly visible, with deliverables that support internal leadership, the board of directors, and investors.

WHAT YOU’LL GET TO DO:

Own major parts of architecture and evolve Rocket Lab’s web-based ground software platforms for spacecraft operations.
Partner with flight software developers, mission operations personnel, and systems engineers to translate mission needs into scalable ground system designs.
Deploy, configure, and optimize the Rocket Lab Ground Data System for diverse mission profiles.
Establish robust monitoring, alerting, and reliability frameworks to proactively detect and mitigate issues.
Provide technical direction and architectural guidance to ensure mission resilience, system integration, and long-term maintainability.
Serve as a trusted advisor to leadership on ground software strategy, risk areas, and emerging technologies.

QUALIFICATIONS YOU'LL BRING AS SENIOR GROUND SOFTWARE ENGINEER I:

Bachelor’s degree in engineering or other technical discipline
5+ years of relevant work experience in professional software development
Proven track record architecting web-based software systems at scale
Strong systems-level thinking, with ability to balance technical trade-offs across performance, security, and maintainability
U.S. citizenship is required, due to program requirements
Active Secret clearance or ability to obtain and maintain one

THESE QUALIFICATIONS WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE:

Active TS clearance
Full-stack development experience, including:
Backend – Python, Golang, and/or Rust
Frontend – Typescript and Angular
Database – InfluxDB, PostgreSQL, or equivalent
Experience with end-to-end testing frameworks like Playwright
Aerospace background supporting satellite, spacecraft, constellation, or launch vehicle ground/mission operations
Experience designing with Python web frameworks (FastAPI or equivalent)
Deep knowledge of microservice architectures and distributed systems
Demonstrated leadership in end-to-end system design and delivery with engineering teams
Ability to produce clear, well-structured, and well-documented software designs
Familiarity with database architecture, schema design, and optimization
Expertise in Git-based workflows, CI/CD pipelines, and Kubernetes orchestration
Understanding of modern authentication/authorization frameworks (OAuth, etc.)
Knowledge of CCSDS standards, including Space Packet Protocol, COP-1, and CFD

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.

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 (HMO, PPO, and a zero cost HDHP option with a significant HSA company contribution), 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, and a 401(k) retirement plan with company match.

Additional perks include subsidized EV charging, onsite fitness centers (where available), discounted gym memberships, complimentary snacks and beverages, 50% employee discount on our popular merch store, and a variety of other employee discounts.

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.

Base Pay Range (CA Only)

$132,000 - $198,000 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.
