Relativity
Manufacturing Engineer II, Turbomachinery
Long Beach, California 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. You’ll collaborate across teams, shape decisions, and see your work come to life in record time. About the Team
The Engine Manufacturing team is dedicated to delivering high-performance engines and advancing innovative manufacturing systems that continuously improve cost, quality, and lead time. You’ll actively provide input that shapes new hardware iterations and regularly interface with engineers to make critical decisions for the Aeon R program. About the Role
As a Turbomachinery Engineer, you will produce components and assemblies for the fuel and oxidizer turbopumps of the Aeon‑R and Aeon‑R Vac engines. You will own the manufacturing trades and develop processes for fabricating, testing, and delivering critical Aeon‑R hardware and subassemblies. You will serve as the main point of contact between the manufacturing and design teams as we optimize Aeon‑R architecture and scale manufacturing operations. To be successful, you should thrive in ambiguity and drive your own projects to completion. About You
Degree in engineering or related technical field and 2+ years of relevant experience Experience with turbopump assembly procedures, including rotor balancing, interference fits, clearance checks, structural proofing, and leak checks Manufacturing Process Experience: Fluids Testing, Machining, Additive Knowledge of general assembly and test procedures, including tolerance stack‑up analysis, structural proof testing, and pressurized leak checks Experience with Siemens NX or other CAD and analysis tools Experience with Tooling design, including conceptualization, modeling and drafting, and detailed analysis Nice to Haves
Experience working with additively manufactured engine hardware Experience with GD&T (ASME Y14.5) and industry specifications Experience in a startup or agile development environment Experience working in a flight development program Compensation
Hiring Range: $112,000 - $143,000 USD We offer competitive salary and equity, a generous PTO and sick leave policy, parental leave, an annual learning and development stipend, and more. EEO Statement
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.
