Thermal 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 a Thermal Engineering Intern based at Rocket Lab’s site in Long Beach, California, you’ll join a team that supports the entire lifecycle of spacecraft production, from conception through flight. This team serves as subject matter experts on thermal engineering for the rest of the company and its subsidiaries and will occasionally support thermal teams on the launch services side.
