About the Team:The Launch team operates at the intersection of every major aspect of Terran R, from stages and payloads to ground systems, launch, landing, and refurbishment. The Cape is the only place where you see it all come together, offering a level of exposure and responsibility unmatched elsewhere in the program. This is where first flights happen, where history is built on top of history, and where the scale of what's underway is unlike anything in modern aerospace. The mission stays the same, but the work evolves with every milestone: from first launch to reuse, high-cadence operations, and beyond. If you're looking to define what's next in space launch and write a new playbook, not just repeat what's already been done, this is where it happens.
About the Role:- Work collaboratively as part of a team responsible for offshore recovery operations which will include ship development, port operations, maritime logistics, and supporting the overall TerranR mission with a focus on recovery and reusability.
- Your responsibilities include dock site development from green field to operationally ready, landing operations development including operational logistics such as scheduling fueling, support vessels, etc., standing up critical team functions, and providing ancillary support to any and all recovery program initiatives.
- You will be responsible for managing technical tasks and contribute to team goals, often overseeing segments of projects from both an engineering and technician perspective
- Collaborate with recovery engineering on helping solve technical issues, anticipate challenges, and utilize your experience and collaboration with engineering to consistently implement and drive technical progress forward on recovery
- Identify, build, and maintain strong relationships with key suppliers, contractors, and regulatory agencies.
About You:- 5+ years of experience related to vessel operations, port operations, or aerospace recovery
- Demonstrated ability to work effectively in a team environment, with a focus on collaboration and professional development.
- Strong verbal and written communication skills.
- Willingness to work flexible hours, including nights and weekends, based on operational needs.
- Ability to work in outdoor environments, including periodic extended periods offshore on a vessel or during overland travel.
- Willingness to travel to ports for extended periods of time to oversee ship construction, repair, or port development.
