Senior Rocket Transport Specialist

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 the operational development of transporting critical flight hardware, including first and second stages of a rocket across the country and via the waterway.
• You will be responsible for large-scale transport project management including route planning, equipment selection, permitting, and execution oversight.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including vehicle design and operations to define and implement requirements, develop solutions, and ensure regulatory compliance throughout all phases of transport.
• Oversee the planning, fabrication, and construction of essential assets for all transportation and operational phases.
• Identify, build, and maintain strong relationships with key suppliers, contractors, and regulatory agencies.

About You:

• 5+ years of experience in heavy haul equipment, heavy transport logistics, route planning, route analysis, or multi-modal logistics
• This is not a driver position; the ideal candidate will have hands-on experience in transport project management, field execution coordination, and heavy logistics planning
•  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 other company sites for cross-functional collaboration.

Nice to haves but not required:

• Experience operating or working with heavy machinery movers such as Self-Propelled Modular Transporters (SPMTs), multi-axle trailers, or similar equipment.
• Experience supporting offshore operations, vessel-based logistics, or marine asset development.

Successful candidates must clear a background check administered by the US government to obtain clearance for on-site work at our government partner location in Cape Canaveral, Florida.
