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 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. About The Team The Stage Manufacturing team turns design into reality, owning the build of Terran R’s primary structures. About The Role
Own a major mechanized subassembly and its child components from design release through test and successful integration onto the Terran R launch vehicle. Drive the assembly’s build and test effort through design integration, part sourcing, assembly sequencing, mBOM development, build and test work order creation, and specification authoring. Support workcenter development by considering assembly and test operations, safety, tooling and capital equipment requirements, and company operational goals. Provide hands-on support to the shop floor and production personnel, promptly addressing any issues that arise and offering upstream feedback to drive design for manufacturability. Analyze and disposition recurring manufacturing discrepancies and lead multi-disciplinary teams on root cause analysis and corrective actions. Foster a culture of critical thinking and imaginative problem-solving, constantly challenging the established norms in engineering and manufacturing, and pushing the boundaries to achieve efficient production throughout workcenter. About You
BS degree in aerospace, mechanical, or manufacturing engineering with 5+ years of experience building and testing hardware in a manufacturing environment. Extensive experience authoring work instructions and/or test procedures to build and test interdisciplinary mechanical, electrical, and pneumatic assemblies. Experience interfacing with design engineering, manufacturing, and production personnel. Extensive experience leading, executing and managing large process and/or quality improvements with large scope of ownership. Ability to work autonomously with little supervision in a fast-paced environment. Proficient in at least 2 of the following: machining, precision drilling, mechanical fastening, and torquing operations, pneumatic and/or electromechanical assembly, electrical and/or pneumatic functional checkouts, integrated testing, tooling design and fab, subassembly workcenter development. Nice To Haves But Not Required
New product introduction of an aerospace hardware system into a manufacturing, test, and production system with proven success. Working knowledge of rocket subsystems including structures, mechanisms, high pressure gas systems and/or avionics. Expert understanding GD&T and drafting principles. Experience in capacity analyses, DFMEA/PFMEA, value stream mapping. We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
