ABOUT ROCKET LAB Rocket Lab is a global leader in launch and space systems. 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. Our Electron rocket has provided reliable access to orbit since 2018, becoming one of the most frequently launched rockets in the world.

Neutron will be our next rocket on the launch pad, an advanced 13-tonne payload class, reusable rocket to launch the mega constellations of the future. Our space systems business includes our extensive line of satellites and components that have enabled more than 1,700 missions including the James Webb Space Telescope, NASA Psyche Mission, Artemis I, Mars Ingenuity helicopter, and more. Join our pioneering team and launch your career to new heights ENGINEERING Engineering is at the heart of Rocket Lab.

Our engineering team has a proven track record of designing and developing world-class rockets and spacecraft that are changing the way we access and use space. Youll 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.

TEAM LEAD- GROUND SYSTEMS TEAM Y Take your engineering career to new heights as our Ground Systems Engineering Team Lead. Youll lead the design, build, testing, and commissioning of advanced launch and test facilities, acting as a key decision-maker and subject matter expert. Support Electron operations, collaborate with the GSE Manager to meet project deadlines, and drive your team's professional development and performance.

While focused on the Electron program, you'll also support the Neutron program as needed.
