About Rocket Lab For most people the idea of a rocket launch brings up images from the apollo era monstrous booster engines, groundshaking noise, and a behemoth of a machine slowly climbing against the grasp of Earths gravity. This iconic image, the one that transformed us into a spacegoing species, captures the power and strength of rockets. But it is not the image that will make space a commercial reality. Replace this image with the bustle of a high speed assembly line, where rocket boosters feed off a conveyor belt connecting to preencapsulated payload stages, rolling out on to the launch pad one after the other. This image, by constrast, is about speed and efficiency and what the Rocket Lab Electron orbital project is all about. Minimum Requirements A mechanical engineering degree or equivalent qualification 10 years industry experience Advanced level knowledge and skills in Solidworks Excellent mechanical design ability The ability to work under pressure and to tight deadlines Proven communication skills and the ability to build strong working relationships with manufacturing and engineering professionals Excellent knowledge of manufacturing techniques Experienced with CFD and FEA Experience working with 3D printing technologies A willingness to get stuck in and get your hands dirty if needed Important Information For security reasons detailed and indepth background checks will be undertaken prior to any employment offers being made to successful candidates. Rocket Lab has created a legacy of excellence by developing innovative solutions to ambitious aerospace problems for the likes of DARPA and other technically demanding customers. Now fully funded by major Silicon Valley venture capital funds, Rocket Lab is focused on redefining how the world accesses space by building Electron a revolutionary launch system designed to meet the launch requirements of the rapidly expanding small satelitte market. Known in the industry for rapidly developing cost effective solutions from the ground up, Rocket Lab believes in giving highly skilled engineers ownership of complex aerospace systems from start to finish. This ethos offers engineers the satisfaction of moving from the conceptualisation and design phase throgh to hands on work building, testing and ultimately flying their creations. Rocket Lab also offers a unique opportunity for the worlds best and brightest engineers to work with a young team possionate about what they are doing while also enjoying the high standard of living New Zealand has to offer. About this role As a Design Engineer within the Propulsion team at Rocket Lab you will be responsibile for the Rutherford Rocket Engine CAD models, drawings, improvements and concepts using Solidworks. The rocket engine is a LoxKerosene regenerative cooled pump fed engine that is the workhorse for Rocket Labs orbital launcher program and is named after the famous New Zealand scientist Ernest Rutherford. Day to day you will be working closely with propulsion experts and engineering analysts to develop the engine design. You will also be working with manufacturing staff, machining shops and suppliers to ensure the components meet specifications and deliver schedules. You will also need to communicate extensively with assembly and test engineers to capture and incorporate all design improvements to refine the engine.
