<div class="content-intro">ABOUT ROCKET LAB 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.</div>  While other companies talk about it, we do it!   NEUTRON Rocket Lab’s Neutron team is responsible for bringing our new large rocket Neutron and its launch and test sites to life. From designing and testing Neutron’s structures and components, to firing up its new Archimedes engines, to setting up Neutron’s launch pads and test sites across the United States, joining the Neutron team is your opportunity to help launch a new large rocket for the very first time. THERMOFLUIDS ANALYST We're looking for a Thermofluids Analyst to join our Thermofluids Analysis team, responsible for all internal thermodynamics & fluids mechanics modelling & simulation across our Electron & Neutron vehicles.   This role is based in Auckland, New Zealand.  WHAT YOU'LL GET TO DO: <ul> <li data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="14"
