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. Our groundbreaking research and development in 3D printing push 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 Development team at Relativity Space develops, creates, and operates the most advanced additive manufacturing technologies in the world. This best-in-class team ensures that the infrastructure, materials, tools, and equipment are in place to enable rapid iteration and printing. The powder-based manufacturing team is crucial for manufacturing Aeon-1 for its first launch and for developing groundbreaking technologies, designs, and approaches for Aeon-R.

About the Role:

1. Develop additive manufacturing processes to continuously improve manufacturing cost, quality, and lead time.
2. Produce additively manufactured components that enable high-performance liquid propulsion hardware.
3. Own and optimize the entire manufacturing process, including design for additive, build file programming, manufacturing work instructions, and quality verification.
4. Develop, optimize, and productionize process parameters for various alloys and machine systems; develop tools and techniques to accelerate and automate these processes.
5. Conduct material failure investigations, root cause analyses, and implement corrective actions.
6. Create new tools, techniques, and applications to automate existing processes and establish performance-based benchmarks.
7. Support the material and process team with characterization and qualification of various alloys.

About You:

• Experience implementing new engineering processes in school projects, internships, and/or clubs.
• Experience communicating technical information within a diverse team.
• Experience with at least two of the following: CAD, Design for additive manufacturing, GD&T.
• Exposure to laser powder bed fusion, printer subsystems, and post-processes.
• 2+ years of experience in aerospace, medical devices, or ISO environments.
• 2+ years of experience in mechanical or materials engineering roles.
• 2+ years of experience working with metallic additive manufacturing.
• Familiarity with manufacturing execution systems (MES) and quality management systems.

Nice to Haves (not required):

• Advanced degree (MS) in Materials Science, Materials Engineering, Metallurgy, Mechanical Engineering, or related fields.
• Familiarity with processing large datasets and statistical analysis software such as R, JMP, or Minitab.
• Knowledge of liquid propellant engine system design and operation.
• Serve as a materials subject matter expert on the powder bed fusion team.
• Proficiency in programming languages such as Python, JavaScript, C#, or Java.
• Experience leveraging APIs and real-time data sources to build applications in a production environment.
• Experience developing APIs and applications on them.
• Six Sigma/Lean manufacturing training.

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

Our total rewards include competitive salary and equity, generous PTO and sick leave, parental leave, an annual learning stipend, and more. For benefits details, please visit our website.
