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. Here, you're not just executing tasks; you're solving 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 picking up momentum. The most meaningful work of your career is waiting. Join us.
About the Team:
The Stage Manufacturing team turns design into reality, owning the build of Terran R's primary structures. This isn't about turning the same bolt every day; it's about building the systems to build the rocket. Engineers and technicians work side by side, with deep collaboration and real-time feedback, to shape how we build better and faster. With a manifest and a launch date, it's up to the team to deliver on Terran R: solving challenges in real time, optimizing for scale, and constantly improving processes. As the vehicle evolves, so will the factory, with opportunities to apply automation, machine learning, and advanced technologies. What we build here sets the blueprint for the future of scaled launch. About the Role:
Own the roll former work center, responsible for delivery of all rolled products and improving our roll forming process. Bring online a press break work center and lead development efforts for forming up to 20' sheets of material for the rocket primary structure. Create work instructions, specifications, and best practices across multiple high-fidelity processes. Help standardize processes across the manufacturing team. Support the shop floor through live issue resolution and provide upstream feedback as we innovate manufacturing technology. Provide Design for Manufacturing feedback to structures teams during development and through prototype and flight builds. About You:
Bachelor's degree in manufacturing, mechanical engineering, or related discipline with 5+ years of progressive experience. Proven history of improving manufacturing processes and leading development projects to meet processing requirements. Strong fundamentals in process improvement, forming, metallic processing, mechanics of materials; deep knowledge of metallic manufacturing processes, tools, inspection methods, and GD&T. Excellent interpersonal skills to interface with engineering and manufacturing teams, understanding process constraints and providing design inputs for manufacturability. Strong 3D & 2D design/drafting skills per ASME Y14.5M (NX). Nice to Haves:
Experience with roll forming and press break forming aluminum alloys. Experience in managing aerospace hardware NPI into manufacturing, testing, and production systems. Proven success in managing projects in fast-paced environments. At Relativity Space, we are committed to transparency and fairness in our compensation practices. Actual compensation will be determined based on experience, qualifications, and other factors. Compensation is part of our total rewards package, including competitive salary and equity, generous PTO and sick leave, parental leave, an annual learning stipend, and more! For benefits details, please visit our website. Hiring Range: $130,000—$166,000 USD We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity. We do not discriminate based on race, gender, religion, age, marital status, veteran status, or other protected classes.
