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. Joining Relativity means becoming part of something where autonomy, ownership, and impact exist at every level. Here, you’ll collaborate across teams, shape decisions, and see your work come to life in record time. Now is a unique moment to leave your mark on the product, the process, and the culture. About the Team:
The Materials & NDE Engineering team is responsible for the development, characterization, and inspection of materials across the Terran R launch vehicle. We focus on rapid in-house testing capabilities and first principles driven qualification approaches, with recent milestones in primary structure barrels, next-generation powder additive alloys in the Aeon-R engine, and 100% in-cell NDE inspection for WAAM manufactured hardware. About the Role
Serve as materials characterization subject matter expert for thermal, chemical, and powder characterization techniques. Operate and maintain thermal, chemical, and powder characterization equipment to support testing across production, research & development, and failure analysis. Develop characterization processes to expand in-house testing capabilities. Communicate technical data to engineering customers and determine best practices for data output and reporting. Collaborate with a team of technicians and engineers to execute materials testing. About You
Associates' degree in materials science and engineering, chemistry, or related field. 10+ years of experience related to thermal, chemical, and powder characterization. Nice to have (not required)
Bachelor’s degree in materials science and engineering, chemistry, or related field. Expertise in ASTM standards for materials testing in thermal, chemical, and/or powder areas. Experience with aerospace materials including high-strength aluminum, nickel alloys, copper alloys, titanium, refractories, polymers/adhesives, and/or composites. Desire to establish and foster strong interdisciplinary relationships across the company. Compensation & Benefits
We are committed to transparency and fairness in compensation. Actual 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, generous PTO and sick leave, parental leave, an annual learning and development stipend, and more. For details, please refer to the benefits information. Hiring Range:
$40.80 - $52.80 USD Equal Opportunity
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.
