Electron Configuration Management Intern

Our Electron rocket has become the second most frequently launched U.S. rocket annually and has delivered more than 230 satellites to orbit, all while we work to develop Neutron, our upcoming medium-lift, reusable launch vehicle for larger constellation deployment. Our Space Systems business designs and builds our e...

We're looking for a motivated intern to join our Electron Vehicle Development team at our Auckland Production Complex. The Electron program is in an exciting phase where we are expanding the Electron launch vehicle's capabilities to meet new customer needs, in parallel with refining its design to increase the rate at which we produce and launch it. 
As a Configuration Management Intern, you will play a key role in these efforts by supporting the smooth, efficient, and timely development of engineering changes as well as their introduction into production. You'll plan, coordinate, and deliver engineering change projects, and maintain the resulting Electron launch vehicle Bill of Materials (BOM) and other configuration Master Data, across all product variants. 
This project offers you the opportunity to apply your software engineering and data integration skills to streamline a critical engineering workflow that directly impacts our product configuration management and regulatory compliance! 
This is an opportunity to work on real space technology projects and contribute to missions that are literally reaching for the stars. 
Develop an automated system to track when new design items first appear in production, eliminating manual tracking overhead 
Maintain data quality on first-flight items, which is critical to understanding differences between tails (launch vehicle builds) and can be very useful for anomaly investigations 
Leverage ERP planning and production Bill of Materials (BOM) records and automatically update corresponding JIRA change tickets with implementation details 
Support the configuration management of Electron launch vehicle variants 
Plan, coordinate, and deliver engineering change projects 
Maintain Electron launch vehicle Bill of Materials (BOM) and configuration Master Data 
Take ownership for completion of tasks personally delivering results 
Commit to and complete tasks within expected time frame, holding yourself accountable 
Manage your own task list and execute allocated tasks to assigned deadlines 
Create technical documentation pertinent to configuration management with supervision 
Communicate effectively with peers using appropriate mediums (email, tickets, meetings) 
Create presentations, metrics, and emails that highlight important information with supervision 
Support specific tasks for other teammates when asked and appropriately trained 
Participate in identifying business challenges and contributing to solutions 
Ensure health and safety policies and standard operating procedures are followed 

Currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Software Engineering, Computer Science, Data Science, or related field
