About the role
Rocket Lab is seeking a Lead Engineer for Tooling, Test, and Infrastructure to drive tooling, GSE, and test for the Neutron Launch Vehicle from our Middle River, MD facility. You will lead a team of engineers, coordinate with multiple internal groups, and guide major capital projects as the company scales production.
The role requires a Bachelor’s in mechanical/aerospace/manufacturing engineering or equivalent, 5+ years in engineering design, and proven leadership.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
