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 contrast, is about speed and efficiency and what the Rocket Lab Electron orbital project is all about. 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 satellite 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 conceptualization and design phase through 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 passionate about what they are doing while also enjoying the high standard of living New Zealand has to offer. About the Role As Rocket Labs Test Engineer you will be part of the Propulsion team dedicated to the testing of the Rutherford rocket engine, named Rutherford after the famous New Zealand scientist Ernest Rutherford. It is a LoxKerosene regenerative cooled pump fed engine that is the workhorse for Rocket Labs orbital launcher program. Day to day you will be expected to set up and run tests on the rocket engine and the various sub systems with clear methodology and effective data acquisition. Using your creative and intuitive thinking to test the systems for performance and operation characteristics, working closely with propulsion experts and engineers to capture and improve the design of the engine, your work will test the operation and capability of the Rutherford engine for design improvement and verification. Minimum Requirements A degree in Aerospace, Mechanical or Mechatronics engineering 5 years test engineer experience Proven experience working to deadlines in a high pressure environment. Excellent knowledge of instrumentation pressure, temperature, flow etc Knowledge of running tests on mechanical systems Capable of undertaking manual machining Proven communication skills and the ability to build strong working relationships with colleagues and engineering professionals. A methodical, careful and tidy work ethic Experience with national instruments A basic understanding of Solidworks although not essential is preferred, If this sounds like you and you are ready for a new challenge then please apply today.
