Job Description
<div class="content-intro"><p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">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. But that’s just the start. Achieving commercial success with Terran R will unlock new opportunities to advance science, exploration, and innovation, pioneering progress that reaches beyond the known.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">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 </span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">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.</span></p></div><p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><strong><span data-contrast="none">About the Team:</span></strong></span></p>
<p>The Launch team operates at the intersection of every major aspect of Terran R, from stages and payloads to ground systems, launch, landing, and refurbishment. The Cape is the only place where you see it all come together, offering a level of exposure and responsibility unmatched elsewhere in the program. This is where first flights happen, where history is built on top of history, and where the scale of what's underway is unlike anything in modern aerospace. The mission stays the same, but the work evolves with every milestone: from first launch to reuse, high-cadence operations, and beyond. If you're looking to define what's next in space launch and write a new playbook, not just repeat what’s already been done, this is where it happens.</p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><strong><span data-contrast="none">About the Role:</span></strong></span></p>
<p>In this role, you will work closely with Test and Launch design engineers to evaluate and implement optimal manufacturing and integration solutions. You will lead fabrication and integration efforts, including coordination with third-party vendors and full ownership of integration processes. You’ll collaborate with cross-functional teams—including fluids, civil, electrical, and mechanical disciplines—to develop effective integration strategies. You'll also be responsible for selecting techniques and processes that meet design tolerances, while providing input on and approving designs for manufacturability.</p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><strong><span data-contrast="none">About You:</span></strong></span></p>
<ul>
<li>Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Manufacturing, Mechanical, Aerospace, or related discipline) or equivalent combination of education and relevant experience</li>
<li>5+ years of experience manufacturing with a focus on structural builds, precision tooling, or ground support equipment</li>
<li>Experience with CAD (NX, Creo, Solidworks, CATIA)</li>
<li>Experience with partial or full life-cycle ownership of small to large structural build projects including lifting and rigging, integration, and proof testing</li>
<li>Experience or working knowledge of in-field fabrication techniques incl ... (truncated, view full listing at source)
