Relativity
Overview
At Relativity Space, we’re building rockets to serve today’s needs and tomorrow’s breakthroughs. Our Terran R vehicle will deliver customer payloads to orbit, meeting the growing demand for launch capacity. Achieving commercial success with Terran R will unlock new opportunities to advance science, exploration, and innovation, pioneering progress that reaches beyond the known. Joining Relativity means becoming part of something where autonomy, ownership, and impact exist at every level. You’ll solve problems that haven’t been solved before, helping develop a rocket, a factory, and a business from the ground up. Whether you’re in propulsion, manufacturing, software, avionics, or a corporate function, you’ll collaborate across teams, shape decisions, and see your work come to life in record time. Relativity is a place where creativity and technical rigor go hand in hand, and your voice will help define the stories we’re writing together. Now is a unique moment in time where it’s early enough to leave your mark on the product, the process, and the culture, but far enough along that Terran R is tangible and gaining momentum. The most meaningful work of your career is waiting. Join us. About the Team
The Quality team is focused on embedding quality into every part of the design and production process for Terran R. Not just inspecting at the end but influencing how things are built from the start. The team embeds themselves directly within design, manufacturing, test, and launch teams to stay close to the hardware, understand constraints, and proactively shape decisions. As we move beyond initial development into production and scaled operations, now is the time to put the right processes, controls, and inspections in place without slowing down progress. The team balances risk, drives a culture of ownership, and ensures that speed does not come at the cost of reliability. Success means building a quality system that scales with the Terran R program and Relativity as a whole. About the Role
Ownership may include: Design — drawing standardization, DFM, and configuration management and control Planning — work instruction review, process development, standard rework/repair documentation Manufacturing — in-process build verification, coordination of traveled work, etc. Drive initiatives to facilitate quality in our growing launch vehicle program. Projects may include spearheading specification development, developing walk-down checklists, supporting automation initiatives for quality inspection, assisting in DFM practices, etc. Develop strong working relationships with Engineering, Additive, Manufacturing, Test, and Launch teams to ensure all company objectives can be met About You
Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering or other STEM field and a minimum of 2 years of experience acting as a Quality Engineer at a fast-paced manufacturing company Extensive experience interfacing with design engineering, manufacturing, production and test personnel In-depth knowledge of aerospace avionics manufacturing/complex assembly practices and typical quality processes/controls Working knowledge of PLM, MES, ERP and QMS software and proficiency with Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) Ability to solve a wide range of difficult problems in imaginative and practical ways and evaluate alternative solutions that may require coordination across multiple teams. Ability to establish goals and objectives to complete projects. Ability to effectively communicate and present information to team members, team leaders, and top management and be well-versed in process development and first-time quality efforts Nice to have (not required)
Knowledge of product development methodologies such as FMEA, APQP, SPC and PPV New product introduction (NPI) of hardware systems into manufacturing, test, and production Familiarity with high-volume inspection methods and data-driven acceptance methods Understanding of AS9100/ISO9001 for aerospace programs Self-starter with ability to define and own a process from scratch and roll it out through effective communication to a diverse team Compensation and Benefits
At Relativity Space, compensation will be determined based on experience, qualifications, and other job-related factors. Compensation is one part of our total rewards package, which includes competitive salary and equity, a generous PTO and sick leave policy, parental leave, an annual learning and development stipend, and more. To see some benefits and perks we offer, please visit our site. Hiring Range: $101,000 - $130,000 USD We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
