ABOUT INCOMING QUALITY CONTROL INSPECTOR AT ROCKET LAB
As an Incoming Quality Control (IQC) Inspector - Mechanical, you're the gate between our suppliers and our production floor. When hardware arrives, whether it's a machined manifold, a 3D-printed injector, or a batch of fasteners, you verify that it matches the drawing, the purchase order, and the paperwork before it goes anywhere near an engine or stage.
If it's right, you release it. If it's not, you quarantine it, write it up, and make sure it doesn't come back the same way twice

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.

Builds rockets, satellites and space components
Rocket Lab builds and launches rockets, designs satellites and sells spacecraft components for commercial operators, governments and defense customers. Its Electron rocket carries small satellites on dedicated missions, while its Space Systems business supplies complete spacecraft and the hardware and software needed to operate them. Customers pay for launch services, satellite development, component sales and mission support, giving the group business beyond sending its own rockets into space. The company is developing Neutron, a larger reusable rocket intended for constellation deployment and other heavier missions. Rocket Lab's operating business began in 2006 and the group is headquartered in Long Beach, California.
