ABOUT ENGINEERING AT ROCKET LAB:
Engineering is the heart of Rocket Lab. We build world-class rockets and spacecraft and we launch them, often.
As a Senior Development Engineer in Propulsion, you'll own what powers Electron to orbit: Engines, turbopumps, valves, injectors, and the fluid systems that feed them.
First sketch to flight-ready hardware, and the standard everyone else builds to. You'll define the requirements, iterate in NX with analysis and manufacturing, own the EBOM, and release the drawings that get parts built. Then you'll plan and run the campaign that proves it, component rigs to hot fire, and coach the engineers who'll run the next one. Once it's flying, you define how it's operated and maintained.
It's hands-on, fast-paced problem solving where rapid innovation meets the highest safety standards and your hardware launches.
