BUILDING NEUTRON AT ROCKET LAB: Rocket Lab's Neutron team is responsible for bringing our new large rocket Neutron and its launch and test sites to life. From designing and testing Neutron's structures and components, to firing up its new Archimedes engines, to setting up Neutron's launch pads and test sites across the United States, joining the Neutron team is your opportunity to help launch a new large rocket for the very first time. WHAT YOU'LL GET TO DO: This role will be responsible for the development, implementation, and continuous improvement of equipment, tooling, and processes used in the assembly and testing of the mechanisms of the Neutron Launch Vehicle. They will support the Director of Neutron Mechanical Systems, with deliverables required for internal leadership, board of directors, and investors. You will will work directly with analysis and development engineers, and production technical team to produce concepts, detailed designs, and drawing packages and to perform development & qualification tests, refine designs, and ensure Neutron's components, and assemblies meet their functional and performance requirements. Day to day, your key responsibilities will include: Identify, plan, and execute capital equipment, machine, and layout definitions to the meet volume requirements including preparation of business casesDevelop production processes and ensure they are accurately and clearly documented, including testing procedures, health and safety requirements and supervisor sign-offsDesign, develop, and implement tooling and equipment for use in a production environment where required to achieve safety, quality, delivery and cost requirementsActively contribute to facility construction projects including requirements generation, design reviews and implementation supportContribute to design reviews acting as an expert in design for manufacture, design for test, productivity, supplier capability assessments, quality control, etc.Oversee introduction and implementation of new products and product revisions as related to the Neutron launch vehicle mechanisms and mechanical componentsLead problem containment and structured root cause & corrective action investigationsQuickly analyze and resolve manufacturing discrepancies and non-conformancesIntroduce automation where appropriate and ensure equipment data links directly to MRP and quality systemsIdentify risks and improvements to develop the manufacturing engineering department to meet company needsDevelop and mentor less experienced engineers and technicians dailyYOU'LL BRING THESE QUALIFICATIONS: Aerospace, mechanical or mechatronic engineering degree or equivalent qualification3-5 years designing high performance mechanical systemsExperience with CAD software such as NX (preferred), Fibersim (preferred), Solidworks, CATIAThe ability to work under pressure and to tight deadlinesExcellent communication skills and the ability to work well within a team environmentSound analytical skills and the ability to see the big picture and making connections and appropriate decisionsHave tenacity, a can-do attitude, and the ability to think quickly and make accurate judgementsTHESE QUALIFICATIONS WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE: Strong understanding of composites engineering fundamentals (mechanics of materials, classical lamination theory, material property characterization, design best practices, analysis methods, and manufacturing processes)Experience in one of the following domain areas:Cryogenic systemsPressurised systemsMechanical moving assembliesFluid SystemsHands-on composites manufacturing experienceIf the above sounds like youapplynow!
