You’ll work alongside driven, talented engineers from varied backgrounds and experience levels, all committed to the same mission. Our engineering team members span design, analysis, prototyping, testing, manufacturing, assembly and integration, quality control, engineering documentation, and more.

Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, manufacturing engineering, aerospace engineering, or other engineering discipline
2+ years of tooling design and analysis
2+ years of technical project management or manufacturing design experience
Fundamental understanding of mechanical design principles
FEA Analysis and hand calculations of structural, mechanical or fluid components.
Expert knowledge in creating, reviewing and interpreting engineering drawings and GD&T
Advanced proficiency of Siemens NX or similar CAD and PLM packages

THESE QUALIFICATIONS WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE:

Tooling manufacturing experience within the aerospace, automotive, or other large format fabrication industries
Knowledge of heat transfer, fluids and structural mechanics
High level project management experience in a fast-paced prototype fabrication shop environment
Extensive knowledge of manufacturing methods for large precision structures and equipment
Strong experience developing tooling for development programs from clean-sheet through production ramp up.
In-depth knowledge of aerospace design specifications (SSMAN 91-710, ASME BTH-1, etc.)
Advanced understanding of quality standards for typical fabrication and production products
Advanced experience integrating hydraulic and pneumatic controlled systems
Strong communication skills with both peer engineers and shop floor technicians
Proficient with all types of hand tools and basic fabrication equipment
Solid understanding of advanced structural analysis and solid mechanics as it relates to fabrication
Provide guidance and mentorship for developing engineers for design and analysis efforts
Flexibility to travel to alternative Rocket Lab production sites and vendors, up to 15%

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 (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.

Total Compensation (base and equity)

$87,675 - $114,625 USD

Base Salary

$77,600 - $97,000 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.
