About the role
Why Rocket Lab Rocket Lab is the global leader in small satellite launch. Our mission is to open access to space to improve life on Earth. There are endless possibilities for what we can achieve with better access to space, and that access is now a reality thanks to Rocket Lab. Our team is 1,100 people strong and we're adding to it every week. Collaboration is at our core - every idea is heard and everyone makes a difference. Teams are nimble, decisions are made quickly and we are action-oriented.
While other companies talk about it, we do it!
SPACE SYSTEMS At Rocket Lab, we're not just launching rockets — we're building the future of space. Our Space Systems team builds everything from complete spacecraft, precision payloads to the components and subsystems that allow them to thrive in space, like solar panels, flight software, star trackers, optical systems, separation systems, radios, and more.
Our Space Systems team has enabled more than 1,700 missions, ranging from interplanetary exploration, in-space manufacturing to national security and defense initiatives. The team has built spacecraft, payloads, and components for missions to the Moon and Mars, working with partners including NASA, the Space Development Agency, and the U.S. Space Force. Whether it's a single high-performance spacecraft, constellation, or the vertically integrated components that help them get to space — our world class Space Systems team is empowering some of the boldest and most ambitious space missions.
SENIOR SOFTWARE ENGINEER I/II As a Senior Software Engineer I/II based at Rocket Lab's site in Ontario, Canada, you will collaborate with the Software Engineering team to develop data-driven and automated solutions for operations, manufacturing, and R&D. Your role involves bridging data collection and utilization by creating tools and services that help teams extract value from their data. Join a passionate team tackling challenging projects, achieving the impossible, and shaping the future of space exploration!
A Software Engineer I/II applies technical expertise to backend development, including APIs, services, data visualization, processing, databases, and pipelines. Collaborating across time zones, you'll work with cross-functional teams and stakeholders to understand requirements and deliver core Data Engineering solutions.
WHAT YOU'LL GET TO DO: Operational Data Software Development Activities to Support:
- Design, develop, and maintain APIs, services, tools, and data pipelines for indexing, retrieval, visualization, reporting, and automation
- Create and enhance software and tooling to support data management and company processes
- Deliver tested, documented, and standards-compliant software products while maintaining existing systems
- Collaborate on requirements, architecture designs, backlog refinement, and merge request reviews
- Update tickets, coordinate with stakeholders, and demonstrate solutions
- Deploy, support, and train users on operational software
YOU'LL BRING THESE QUALIFICATIONS:
- Bachelor's degree in software/electrical-engineering, computer science, Tertiary Diploma or demonstrated equivalent level of knowledge
- 5+ years of engineering experience within a software engineering related discipline
- Team player with a positive attitude
- Python development
- Experience with Jira, Redmine, or other issue tracker
- Experience with Git
- Experience with CI/CD and containerization
- Common data analysis libraries/tools such as Pandas/Numpy, ETL pipelines, SQL
- REST APIs and service development
THESE QUALIFICATIONS WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE:
- Experience with Kubernetes, and deploying services at scale
- Experience supporting satellite and/or spacecraft development programs
- Data visualization
- Data science and numerical analysis techniques
- Experience with agile development practices
- Database knowledge
- Web Application Development
- User Interface Development
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
- Specific vision abilities required by this job include close vision, distance vision, peripheral vision, depth perception, and the ability to focus
- Regularly required to sit, use hands and fingers, operate computer keyboard and controls, and communicate verbally and in writing
- Must be physically able to commute to buildings
- Occasional exposure to dust, fumes and moderate levels of noise
