About this job

Rocket Lab is the global leader in dedicated small satellite launch. Launching from right here in New Zealand, we design and build innovative technology to give small satellites a premium ride to orbit. Small satellites play a crucial role in our day-to-day lives – they connect us, keep us safe, help us understand our planet and manage our impact on it, and they enable us to innovate and explore. There are endless possibilities for what we can achieve with better access to space, and that access is now a reality thanks to Rocket Lab.

Our relentlessly innovative team is behind Electron, the world’s only truly commercial small satellite launch vehicle in operation today. With multiple orbital launches under our belt and a record of 100% mission success, we’re opening access to space to improve life on Earth. We’ve built a world class team with a reputation for doing the impossible. Collaboration is at our core – every idea is heard, and everyone makes a difference.  Every day, we pursue ideas that challenge, excite and demand more of us, and we make them real. Be a part of it.

Responsibilities

Rocket Lab is searching for the best engineering graduates to work on a once in a lifetime opportunity on recovery systems for Electron, reporting directly to Peter Beck.  Peter is looking for an engineering superstar to work on our exciting recovery systems project.  So, if you are a recent mechanical or mechatronic engineering graduate with the best grades in your class or you graduated a couple years ago and have gained some work experience since then we are keen to hear from you.
