About the role

Rocket Lab is hiring a Flight Analysis Engineer II in Denver, CO, to lead trajectory design, simulations, and safety analyses for Electron and HASTE missions. You will collaborate with engineering, production, and operations teams to develop mission concepts and support launch operations. The role emphasizes HITL testing, Monte Carlo analyses, and development of automated modelling tools, with equity and a strong total compensation package.

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.
