Avionics Engineering Intern Summer 2027

Rocket Lab is the end-to-end space company building rockets, spacecraft, and critical subsystems that keep the world connected, protected, expand humanity’s reach to the Moon, Mars, and beyond. We move fast, build real hardware for meaningful missions, and make the impossible routine. Come shape the future with us.

As an Avionics Engineering Intern based at Rocket Lab’s site in Long Beach, California, you will have the opportunity to contribute to the future architecture of Avionics, performing hardware development for the next generation of electronics across the rocket, executing test campaigns to validate hardware, or generating new production assets to accelerate our rocket build rate. This team is a hardware development group within Neutron Avionics, focusing primarily on the Archimedes engine and destruct system hardware used within the Flight Safety System.
