Overview
Join to apply for the
Manager, Vehicle Structures Engineering
role at
Relativity Space . 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. Joining Relativity means becoming part of a team where autonomy, ownership, and impact exist at every level. You’ll collaborate across teams, shape decisions, and see your work come to life in record time. The Structures and Mechanisms team is responsible for the full design, build, and test lifecycle of Terran R’s integrated structures and flight mechanisms, with hands-on hardware ownership and a focus on manufacturability and speed. About The Team and About The Role are described below. This is a chance to contribute to a program that is tangible and progressing rapidly. About The Team
The Structures and Mechanisms team is responsible for the full design, build, and test lifecycle of Terran R’s integrated structures and flight mechanisms. Team members work on multiple parts, not just within a single subsystem, and are empowered to make decisions that directly impact flight hardware. The team shares design principles, tools, and an integrated approach across the department. About The Role
Serve as technical authority for structures design in collaboration with Relativity’s engineering leadership Hire, train, guide and mentor structures & design engineers to be efficient, hardware-focused, collaborative, and technically rigorous Innovative conceptualization of structural load path, design of complex structures, definition of system packaging, guidance of test campaigns as well as support of manufacturing processes Review of static & dynamic load inputs, material properties, and additive process features development, along with establishing structural systems & subsystems requirements About You
Undergraduate degree in engineering or related field 3+ years of technical leadership, hiring and performance management experience Demonstrated ownership, accountability and success in delivering complex products on time and budget with minimal guidance Fundamental knowledge of structures design, analysis, manufacturing and testing Nice To Haves But Not Required
5+ years of technical leadership, hiring and performance management experience Experience in a startup or fast pace development environment Strong problem solver with great organization skills Experience with NX, Teamcenter, Ansys and Femap Compensation and benefits: Relativity Space offers a competitive salary and equity, a generous PTO and sick leave policy, parental leave, an annual learning and development stipend, and more. Actual compensation is determined based on experience, qualifications, and other job-related factors. Information about the full benefits package can be found at Relativity. Hiring Range:
