Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs

Leads vehicle integration engineering for the Neutron launch vehicle, including assembly and integration planning, work-cell scheduling, resource coordination, tooling readiness, integrated systems testing, documentation, configuration management, and quality-system changes. Supervises and mentors engineers, coordinates with technicians and multidisciplinary engineering teams, develops work instructions and test procedures, and delivers integrated vehicle modules to the integration facility and launch pad.

Lead strategic sourcing for technical and engineering roles in aerospace manufacturing. Develop search strategies, engage passive candidates, build talent pipelines, screen candidates, provide market intelligence, collaborate with recruiters and hiring managers, support diversity sourcing and recruitment marketing, and track sourcing metrics. This six-month onsite role in Long Beach may convert to full-time employment.

Performs hands-on payload integration for Electron and HASTE launch vehicles, including fit checks, dispenser integration, testing, and assembly instructions. Supports launch-site planning, customer coordination, technical presentations, and interface control documentation. Collaborates with mechanical and electrical engineering teams to resolve spacecraft integration requirements and technical challenges. The role is based in Long Beach, California, and requires frequent worldwide travel to customer facilities and launch sites.

Support lithography-area production through process improvement, yield optimization, defect response, equipment and process development, experimentation, work-instruction creation, and operator training. Collaborate with operations, maintenance, technicians, and R&D teams while owning photolithography modules and metrology. The role also supports equipment procurement and manufacturing expansion for III-V semiconductor and silicon-based solar-cell production.

Leads global IT infrastructure strategy, engineering teams, and 24/7 support across on-premises and cloud environments. Oversees compute, storage, networking, operating systems, virtualization, DevOps, security, compliance, uptime, vendor procurement, and infrastructure priorities supporting engineering, manufacturing, space systems, and launch operations. Develops scalable processes, manages infrastructure across global facilities, and travels domestically and internationally up to 30% of the time.

Designs, implements, operates, and continuously improves Rocket Lab’s platform infrastructure across VMware, Kubernetes, Linux, and Windows environments. Leads upgrades, maintenance, infrastructure projects, configuration management, automation, system hardening, high availability, disaster recovery, documentation, compliance, and reporting. Provides platform expertise and guidance while using Ansible to standardize and automate deployment, configuration, and maintenance processes.

Lead systems engineering for EO/IR sensor and algorithm development: prototype, model, simulate, validate, and optimize algorithms and sensor performance. Decompose requirements, design experiments, support lab/field testing, collaborate across firmware, hardware, and software teams, and communicate results to stakeholders while supporting program milestones.

Design, build, and maintain core data platforms, services, and APIs that enable operational data access. Develop scalable backend systems, data pipelines, and automation; collaborate across teams; own services end-to-end from architecture through production support.

Lead and optimize spacecraft composite production lines, support hands-on composite structure builds, implement lean/continuous improvement, manage timelines, perform root-cause and non-conformance investigations, create technical documentation, advise on design and process improvements, and support quality and qualification testing for aerospace composites.

Responsible for the integration, testing, and launch of the Neutron launch vehicle, including developing procedures and managing vehicle processing facilities.
