Develop safety-critical embedded software for Neutron’s autonomous Flight Termination System, helping monitor vehicle flight and activate termination systems when required. This mid-level role combines flight-code development with testing, simulation, tooling, and launch operations support.

Design, operate, and maintain hardware-in-the-loop systems that support Rocket Lab’s production and launch operations. Build Python-based automation, analyze test results, and troubleshoot avionics and space hardware systems.

Build and maintain critical flight software for Rocket Lab’s Electron rocket, including embedded avionics systems, ground communications, and hardware-in-the-loop simulations. This role combines C/C++ development, testing, operational deployment, and software architecture work across the vehicle lifecycle.

Develop reliable software for robotic platforms, motion-control systems, sensing systems, and hardware-integrated production tools at Rocket Lab Robotics. This hands-on onsite role spans simulation, hardware bring-up, integration, testing, deployment, troubleshooting, and production support.

Develop launch safety and range surveillance software that integrates sensor data and supports safe rocket operations. This internship offers hands-on experience contributing to real aerospace missions alongside experienced engineers.

Join Rocket Lab’s Web Services team as an intern building front-end, back-end, and machine-to-machine web applications that support real aerospace missions. Gain hands-on experience, mentorship, and exposure to rocket and spacecraft systems while developing software with an engineering team.

Architect and build critical flight and embedded software for spacecraft, autonomous satellite constellations, and advanced satellite hardware at Rocket Lab. This senior technical role combines software development, system leadership, testing, architecture governance, and mentorship across missions from concept through on-orbit operations.

Build and support high-performance operations software that acquires and manages telemetry for Rocket Lab’s Neutron launch vehicle and spacecraft missions. This Auckland-based role offers ownership of critical software products supporting launch, testing, simulations, and space operations.
