Job Description

At Relativity Space, we have two audacious goals: to build the next great commercial launch company with Terran R and to become America's leading force in additive manufacturing innovation. Both contribute to our long-term vision of creating humanity’s industrial base on Mars, paving the way for interplanetary life to expand the possibilities of the human experience. This journey begins right here on Earth – where we design, build, and fly rockets to deliver customer payloads to orbit. Terran R, our medium-to-heavy lift reusable rocket, fulfills the growing demand for launch capacity, thanks to our iterative approach that accelerates design, testing, and development while minimizing costs. While our groundbreaking research and development in 3D printing pushes the boundaries of large-scale additive manufacturing.

Your journey with us is more than just a job – it’s an opportunity to shape the future of aerospace technology, additive manufacturing, and the human experience alongside a community of passionate, creative individuals. Join us on this extraordinary journey, as we work together to transform our vision into reality.

About the Team: 

The additive technology team leads research and development of Relativity’s Stargate 3D-printing platform and factory operating system to produce large-scale metal structures for the industrial base. The team works with robotics engineers, data scientists, systems engineers, and welders to advance Relativity’s innovative tech stack, which leverages autonomy, advanced simulation, machine learning, and robotics. Working at the intersection of hardware and software, the team is creating a unified platform that can perform additive manufacturing, in-situ monitoring, NDE, and subtraction capabilities in a single print cell. Progressing in parallel to Terran R development, Relativity’s breakthroughs in large-scale additive manufacturing have the potential to revolutionize the defense industrial base. 

About the Role:

• Develop and manage manufacturing workflows (PRR), BOMs, work instructions and specifications to ensure smooth production processes
• Analyze and resolve manufacturing discrepancies, collaborating with the quality team on root cause analysis and corrective actions
• Own the full manufacturing lifecycle for assigned projects, coordinating with suppliers and internal teams to ensure timely, accurate delivery
• Provide engineering support for design and process improvements, enhancing efficiency, quality and cost effectiveness for both new and existing products
• Participate in design reviews to offer insights on manufacturability and ensure alignment with production capabilities
• Collaborate cross-functionally with production, quality, engineering and leadership teams to align manufacturing strategies with business objectives

About You:

• Bachelor of Science degree in manufacturing engineering, mechanical engineering or related field 
• Experience with GD&T, 3D & 2D design/drafting skills (NX Preferred)
• Experience with root cause analysis and corrective action

Nice to haves but not required:   

• Experience with advanced manufacturing techniques such as additive manufacturing or automation
• Familiarity with Lean Six Sigma principles or certification in continuous improvement methodologies
• Proficiency with ERP systems like SAP or Oracle for managing production workflows and inventory
• Knowledge of industry-specific standards or regulations, such as ISO 9001 or AS9100 (for aerospace or defense industries)

At Relativity Space, we are committed to transparency and fairness in our compensation practices. Actual compensation will be determined based on experience, qualifications, and other job-related factors.

Compensation is only one part of our total rewards package. Relativity Space offers competitive salary and equity, a generous PTO and sick leave policy, parental leave, an annual learning and development stipend, and more! To see some of the benefits & perks we offer, please visit here. Hiring Range: $130,000—$166,000 USD

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.
