Manager- Test & Launch Operations
ABOUT ROCKET LAB
Rocket Lab is an end-to-end space company delivering responsive launch services, complete spacecraft design and manufacturing, payloads, satellite components, and more – all with the goal of opening access space. 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 become the second most frequently launched U.S. rocket annually and has delivered more than 230 satellites to orbit, all while we work to develop Neutron, our upcoming medium-lift, reusable launch vehicle for larger constellation deployment. Our Space Systems business designs and builds our extensive line of satellites, payloads, and their components, including spacecraft that have been selected to support NASA missions to the Moon and Mars and components used on the James Webb Space Telescope.
Rocket Lab is seeking an exceptional Manager for Test and Launch Operations, someone who thrives when the countdown hits zero and the world is watching. You'll lead front-line engineering teams executing critical test and launch operations for Electron and Neutron, playing a pivotal role in maintaining Rocket Lab's industry-leading launch cadence.
From building high-performing teams to developing operational frameworks, you'll be the driving force that makes complex missions look seamless.
We're looking for an experienced leader who thrives in fast-paced, high-stakes environments, someone who can balance rigorous safety standards with the agility needed to maintain our competitive edge. You'll navigate regulatory requirements, drive continuous improvement, and set the tempo for an industry watching our every move.
YOU'LL BRING THESE QUALIFICATIONS & EXPERIENCE:
- Bachelor's degree in Aerospace, Mechanical, Electrical, or Mechatronic Engineering (or equivalent)
- 8+ years of hands-on aerospace engineering, testing, and/or operations experience
- 3+ years leading multi-disciplinary engineering teams in fast-paced, time-critical environments

- Proven experience in propulsion systems, test engineering, and ground test operations
- Strong understanding of launch vehicle and spacecraft systems, with exposure to mission operations
- Proven ability to make time-critical decisions and effectively troubleshoot anomalies in high-stakes environments
- Track record of motivating and developing engineering talent in demanding operational environments
THESE QUALIFICATIONS WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE:
- Real-world rocket launch operations experience
- Background working at launch vehicle test or launch facilities
- Working knowledge of FAA, RCC, NASA, and USAF compliance requirements
You don't go to Mars working eight to five, Monday to Friday. If you're a high performer hungry for work with genuine impact, where your engineering excellence directly shapes space exploration, national security, and critical infrastructure, you've found your place. We take delivery incredibly seriously. Failure is not in our DNA. The work is hard, demanding, and not for the faint-hearted.
In return, you'll solve problems that actually matter alongside experts who run toward challenges, not away from them.
If this resonates with you apply today!

We pride ourselves on having each other’s backs, checking our egos at the door, and rolling up our sleeves on all tasks big and small. We thrive under pressure, work to tight deadlines, and our focus is always on how we can deliver, rather than dwelling on the challenges that stand in the way.

WHAT TO EXPECT
We’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. Our people out-think, out-work and out-pace. We pride ourselves on having each other’s backs, checking our egos at the door, and rolling up our sleeves on all tasks big and small. We thrive under pressure, work to tight deadlines, and our focus is always on how we can deliver, rather than dwelling on the challenges that stand in the way.
