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.\u0026amp;nbsp; \u0026lt;/span\u0026gt;\u0026lt;span data-ccp-props=\u0026quot;{\u0026amp;quot;201341983\u0026amp;quot;:0,\u0026amp;quot;335559739\u0026amp;quot;:0,\u0026amp;quot;335559740\u0026amp;quot;:240}\u0026quot;\u0026gt;\u0026amp;nbsp;\u0026lt;/span\u0026gt;\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Important information:\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;span style=\u0026quot;text-decoration: underline;\u0026quot;\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;FOR CANDIDATES SEEKING TO WORK IN US OFFICES ONLY:\u0026lt;/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;/span\u0026gt;\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;em\u0026gt;To conform to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), Rocket Lab Employees must be a U.S. citizen, lawful U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum, or be eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State and/or the U.S. Department of Commerce, as applicable.

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.\u0026amp;nbsp; \u0026lt;/span\u0026gt;\u0026lt;span data-ccp-props=\u0026quot;{\u0026amp;quot;201341983\u0026amp;quot;:0,\u0026amp;quot;335559739\u0026amp;quot;:0,\u0026amp;quot;335559740\u0026amp;quot;:240}\u0026quot;\u0026gt;\u0026amp;nbsp;\u0026lt;/span\u0026gt;\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Important information:\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;span style=\u0026quot;text-decoration: underline;\u0026quot;\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;FOR CANDIDATES SEEKING TO WORK IN US OFFICES ONLY:\u0026lt;/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;/span\u0026gt;\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;em\u0026gt;To conform to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), Rocket Lab Employees must be a U.S. citizen, lawful U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum, or be eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State and/or the U.S. Department of Commerce, as applicable.

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.\u0026amp;nbsp; \u0026lt;/span\u0026gt;\u0026lt;span data-ccp-props=\u0026quot;{\u0026amp;quot;201341983\u0026amp;quot;:0,\u0026amp;quot;335559739\u0026amp;quot;:0,\u0026amp;quot;335559740\u0026amp;quot;:240}\u0026quot;\u0026gt;\u0026amp;nbsp;\u0026lt;/span\u0026gt;\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Important information:\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;span style=\u0026quot;text-decoration: underline;\u0026quot;\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;FOR CANDIDATES SEEKING TO WORK IN US OFFICES ONLY:\u0026lt;/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;/span\u0026gt;\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;em\u0026gt;To conform to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), Rocket Lab Employees must be a U.S. citizen, lawful U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum, or be eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State and/or the U.S. Department of Commerce, as applicable.

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.\u0026amp;nbsp; \u0026lt;/span\u0026gt;\u0026lt;span data-ccp-props=\u0026quot;{\u0026amp;quot;201341983\u0026amp;quot;:0,\u0026amp;quot;335559739\u0026amp;quot;:0,\u0026amp;quot;335559740\u0026amp;quot;:240}\u0026quot;\u0026gt;\u0026amp;nbsp;\u0026lt;/span\u0026gt;\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Important information:\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;span style=\u0026quot;text-decoration: underline;\u0026quot;\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;FOR CANDIDATES SEEKING TO WORK IN US OFFICES ONLY:\u0026lt;/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;/span\u0026gt;\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;em\u0026gt;To conform to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), Rocket Lab Employees must be a U.S. citizen, lawful U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum, or be eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State and/or the U.S. Department of Commerce, as applicable.

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.\u0026amp;nbsp; \u0026lt;/span\u0026gt;\u0026lt;span data-ccp-props=\u0026quot;{\u0026amp;quot;201341983\u0026amp;quot;:0,\u0026amp;quot;335559739\u0026amp;quot;:0,\u0026amp;quot;335559740\u0026amp;quot;:240}\u0026quot;\u0026gt;\u0026amp;nbsp;\u0026lt;/span\u0026gt;\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Important information:\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;span style=\u0026quot;text-decoration: underline;\u0026quot;\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;FOR CANDIDATES SEEKING TO WORK IN US OFFICES ONLY:\u0026lt;/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;/span\u0026gt;\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;em\u0026gt;To conform to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), Rocket Lab Employees must be a U.S. citizen, lawful U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum, or be eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State and/or the U.S. Department of Commerce, as applicable.

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.\u0026amp;nbsp; \u0026lt;/span\u0026gt;\u0026lt;span data-ccp-props=\u0026quot;{\u0026amp;quot;201341983\u0026amp;quot;:0,\u0026amp;quot;335559739\u0026amp;quot;:0,\u0026amp;quot;335559740\u0026amp;quot;:240}\u0026quot;\u0026gt;\u0026amp;nbsp;\u0026lt;/span\u0026gt;\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Important information:\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;span style=\u0026quot;text-decoration: underline;\u0026quot;\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;FOR CANDIDATES SEEKING TO WORK IN US OFFICES ONLY:\u0026lt;/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;/span\u0026gt;\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;em\u0026gt;To conform to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), Rocket Lab Employees must be a U.S. citizen, lawful U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum, or be eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State and/or the U.S. Department of Commerce, as applicable.

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.\u0026amp;nbsp; \u0026lt;/span\u0026gt;\u0026lt;span data-ccp-props=\u0026quot;{\u0026amp;quot;201341983\u0026amp;quot;:0,\u0026amp;quot;335559739\u0026amp;quot;:0,\u0026amp;quot;335559740\u0026amp;quot;:240}\u0026quot;\u0026gt;\u0026amp;nbsp;\u0026lt;/span\u0026gt;\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Important information:\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;span style=\u0026quot;text-decoration: underline;\u0026quot;\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;FOR CANDIDATES SEEKING TO WORK IN US OFFICES ONLY:\u0026lt;/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;/span\u0026gt;\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;em\u0026gt;To conform to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), Rocket Lab Employees must be a U.S. citizen, lawful U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum, or be eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State and/or the U.S. Department of Commerce, as applicable.

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.\u0026amp;nbsp; \u0026lt;/span\u0026gt;\u0026lt;span data-ccp-props=\u0026quot;{\u0026amp;quot;201341983\u0026amp;quot;:0,\u0026amp;quot;335559739\u0026amp;quot;:0,\u0026amp;quot;335559740\u0026amp;quot;:240}\u0026quot;\u0026gt;\u0026amp;nbsp;\u0026lt;/span\u0026gt;\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Important information:\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;span style=\u0026quot;text-decoration: underline;\u0026quot;\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;FOR CANDIDATES SEEKING TO WORK IN US OFFICES ONLY:\u0026lt;/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;/span\u0026gt;\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;em\u0026gt;To conform to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), Rocket Lab Employees must be a U.S. citizen, lawful U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum, or be eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State and/or the U.S. Department of Commerce, as applicable.

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.\u0026amp;nbsp; \u0026lt;/span\u0026gt;\u0026lt;span data-ccp-props=\u0026quot;{\u0026amp;quot;201341983\u0026amp;quot;:0,\u0026amp;quot;335559739\u0026amp;quot;:0,\u0026amp;quot;335559740\u0026amp;quot;:240}\u0026quot;\u0026gt;\u0026amp;nbsp;\u0026lt;/span\u0026gt;\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Important information:\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;span style=\u0026quot;text-decoration: underline;\u0026quot;\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;FOR CANDIDATES SEEKING TO WORK IN US OFFICES ONLY:\u0026lt;/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;/span\u0026gt;\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;em\u0026gt;To conform to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), Rocket Lab Employees must be a U.S. citizen, lawful U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum, or be eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State and/or the U.S. Department of Commerce, as applicable.

This is a high-impact, customer-facing role: you connect the customer, our engineering teams, the production line, and the business across two continents, and you’re the person our customers count on.\u0026lt;/span\u0026gt;\u0026lt;span data-ccp-props=\u0026quot;{\u0026amp;quot;335551550\u0026amp;quot;:6,\u0026amp;quot;335551620\u0026amp;quot;:6,\u0026amp;quot;335559739\u0026amp;quot;:0}\u0026quot;\u0026gt;\u0026amp;nbsp;\u0026lt;/span\u0026gt;\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;span data-contrast=\u0026quot;auto\u0026quot;\u0026gt;WHAT YOU\u0026#39;LL GET TO DO:\u0026lt;/span\u0026gt;\u0026lt;/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;ul\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;li data-leveltext=\u0026quot;\u0026quot; data-font=\u0026quot;Symbol\u0026quot; data-listid=\u0026quot;20\u0026quot; data-list-defn-props=\u0026quot;{\u0026amp;quot;335552541\u0026amp;quot;:1,\u0026amp;quot;335559685\u0026amp;quot;:360,\u0026amp;quot;335559991\u0026amp;quot;:360,\u0026amp;quot;469769226\u0026amp;quot;:\u0026amp;quot;Symbol\u0026amp;quot;,\u0026amp;quot;469769242\u0026amp;quot;:[8226],\u0026amp;quot;469777803\u0026amp;quot;:\u0026amp;quot;left\u0026amp;quot;,\u0026amp;quot;469777804\u0026amp;quot;:\u0026amp;quot;\u0026amp;quot;,\u0026amp;quot;469777815\u0026amp;quot;:\u0026amp;quot;hybridMultilevel\u0026amp;quot;}\u0026quot; data-aria-posinset=\u0026quot;1\u0026quot; data-aria-level=\u0026quot;1\u0026quot;\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;span data-contrast=\u0026quot;auto\u0026quot;\u0026gt;Lead Delivery:\u0026lt;/span\u0026gt;\u0026lt;/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;span data-contrast=\u0026quot;auto\u0026quot;\u0026gt;\u0026amp;nbsp;Lead terminal programs from award through qualification, production at rate, delivery, and on-orbit checkout, across current-generation production and next-generation variants.

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.\u0026amp;nbsp; \u0026lt;/span\u0026gt;\u0026lt;span data-ccp-props=\u0026quot;{\u0026amp;quot;201341983\u0026amp;quot;:0,\u0026amp;quot;335559739\u0026amp;quot;:0,\u0026amp;quot;335559740\u0026amp;quot;:240}\u0026quot;\u0026gt;\u0026amp;nbsp;\u0026lt;/span\u0026gt;\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Important information:\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;span style=\u0026quot;text-decoration: underline;\u0026quot;\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;FOR CANDIDATES SEEKING TO WORK IN US OFFICES ONLY:\u0026lt;/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;/span\u0026gt;\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;em\u0026gt;To conform to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), Rocket Lab Employees must be a U.S. citizen, lawful U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum, or be eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State and/or the U.S. Department of Commerce, as applicable.

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.\u0026amp;nbsp; \u0026lt;/span\u0026gt;\u0026lt;span data-ccp-props=\u0026quot;{\u0026amp;quot;201341983\u0026amp;quot;:0,\u0026amp;quot;335559739\u0026amp;quot;:0,\u0026amp;quot;335559740\u0026amp;quot;:240}\u0026quot;\u0026gt;\u0026amp;nbsp;\u0026lt;/span\u0026gt;\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Important information:\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;span style=\u0026quot;text-decoration: underline;\u0026quot;\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;FOR CANDIDATES SEEKING TO WORK IN US OFFICES ONLY:\u0026lt;/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;/span\u0026gt;\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;em\u0026gt;To conform to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), Rocket Lab Employees must be a U.S. citizen, lawful U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum, or be eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State and/or the U.S. Department of Commerce, as applicable.

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.\u0026amp;nbsp; \u0026lt;/span\u0026gt;\u0026lt;span data-ccp-props=\u0026quot;{\u0026amp;quot;201341983\u0026amp;quot;:0,\u0026amp;quot;335559739\u0026amp;quot;:0,\u0026amp;quot;335559740\u0026amp;quot;:240}\u0026quot;\u0026gt;\u0026amp;nbsp;\u0026lt;/span\u0026gt;\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Important information:\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;span style=\u0026quot;text-decoration: underline;\u0026quot;\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;FOR CANDIDATES SEEKING TO WORK IN US OFFICES ONLY:\u0026lt;/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;/span\u0026gt;\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;em\u0026gt;To conform to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), Rocket Lab Employees must be a U.S. citizen, lawful U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum, or be eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State and/or the U.S. Department of Commerce, as applicable.

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.\u0026amp;nbsp; \u0026lt;/span\u0026gt;\u0026lt;span data-ccp-props=\u0026quot;{\u0026amp;quot;201341983\u0026amp;quot;:0,\u0026amp;quot;335559739\u0026amp;quot;:0,\u0026amp;quot;335559740\u0026amp;quot;:240}\u0026quot;\u0026gt;\u0026amp;nbsp;\u0026lt;/span\u0026gt;\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Important information:\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;span style=\u0026quot;text-decoration: underline;\u0026quot;\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;FOR CANDIDATES SEEKING TO WORK IN US OFFICES ONLY:\u0026lt;/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;/span\u0026gt;\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;em\u0026gt;To conform to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), Rocket Lab Employees must be a U.S. citizen, lawful U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum, or be eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State and/or the U.S. Department of Commerce, as applicable.
