Electrical Engineer II, Neutron Recovery
Rocket Lab is a global leader in launch and space systems. The rockets and satellites we build and launch enable some of the most ambitious and vital space missions globally, supporting scientific exploration, Earth observation and missions to combat climate change, national security, and exciting new technology demonstrations. Our Electron rocket has provided reliable access to orbit since 2018, becoming one of the most frequently launched rockets in the world. Neutron will be our next rocket on the launch pad, an advanced 13-tonne payload class, reusable rocket to launch the mega constellations of the future.ELECTRICAL ENGINEER II - NEUTRON RECOVERYThe Electrical Engineer II – Neutron Recovery position will be based out of Rocket Lab's headquarters in Long Beach, CA or our Facility in Middle River, MD. You would be responsible for the design and development of all Electrical equipment on Recovery assets needed to support Neutron downrange Recovery. You will interface with critical teams within the Neutron development team including Ground Systems, GNC, Software, Avionics, Mechanical Systems and Propulsion. You will be responsible for successful Neutron Recovery program designs and hardware to enable development, testing, flight, and recovery.WHAT YOU’LL GET TO DO:Work as a part of a team of engineers through the early stages of developing the Neutron Recovery programOwn critical electrical system designs, analysis and other technical details as needed to support the objectives of the team including;Electrical Power DistributionSwitch GearMotor Control CentersAutomatic Transfer Switches (ATS) & Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) UnitsVariable Frequency Drives (VFDs)Serve as technical expert for marine electrical system designs required for Neutron Recovery including 110V-690V AC Power SystemsDevelop technical details to for Recovery designs including what hardware to build and how tests are performed in order to maximize the program’s available resources towards meaningful progress on Neutron RecoverySupport Recovery system fabrication and testing both remotely and onsite as needed at Wallops Island as well as other facilitiesYOU’LL BRING THESE QUALIFICATIONS:Bachelor’s degree in electrical, mechanical, naval, marine, systems or aerospace engineering, or related field2+ years professional experience designing, building, operating or maintaining complex marine or electrical hardwareExperience successfully leading a team through a challenging technical project or programADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTSSpecific vision abilities required by this job include close vision, distance vision, peripheral vision, depth perception, and the ability to focus.Regularly required to sit, use hands and fingers, operate computer keyboard and controls, and communicate verbally and in writing.Must be physically able to commute to buildingsOccasional exposure to dust, fumes and moderate levels of noise.WHAT TO EXPECTWe’re on a mission to unlock the potential of space to improve life on Earth, but that’s not an easy task. It takes hard work, determination, relentless innovation, teamwork, grit, and an unwavering commitment to achieving what others often deem impossible.
