About the job
ABOUT ROCKET LAB
Rocket Lab is a pioneering end-to-end space company that offers responsive launch services, comprehensive spacecraft design and manufacturing, payloads, satellite components, and much more. Our mission is to democratize access to space. The rockets and satellites we manufacture and launch facilitate some of the most ambitious and essential space missions globally, bolstering scientific exploration, Earth observation, initiatives to combat climate change, and national security, while also demonstrating cutting-edge technologies.
Our Electron rocket has emerged as the second most frequently launched rocket in the United States, successfully delivering over 230 satellites to orbit. Simultaneously, we are advancing the development of Neutron, our upcoming medium-lift, reusable launch vehicle designed for larger constellation deployments. Our Space Systems division designs and constructs our extensive range of satellites, payloads, and components, including spacecraft selected for NASA missions to the Moon and Mars, as well as components utilized in the James Webb Space Telescope.
SUPPLY CHAIN
At Rocket Lab, our Supply Chain team orchestrates the flow of all materials, products, and components essential to our operations. With many of our products serving as critical components for both our missions and those of our clients, the Supply Chain team plays a vital role in the success of our rocket and satellite programs. They prepare assembly kits that enable our technicians to assemble Electron rockets, manage inventory, oversee shipping and receiving, handle direct and indirect procurement, and ensure compliance and standards for all materials and products. They form the connection that unites our teams, proving integral to our success.
MATERIAL PLANNER II
Located at Rocket Lab's global headquarters in Long Beach, CA, the Material Planner II is tasked with managing Material Requirements Planning (MRP) for all parts that Rocket Lab produces or procures. Material Planners act as the coordinators within a large, collaborative team that supports operations and the supply chain. They direct activities and ensure that all stakeholders in production and supply chain are informed of their next steps. The role involves collaboration with engineering, quality assurance, production, supply chain, and finance to effectively manage production schedules and material planning.
