Salary: USD 104,000 - 156,000 / annual
Relativity Space is building rockets to serve today's needs and tomorrow's breakthroughs. The Terran R vehicle will deliver customer payloads to orbit, meeting growing demand for launch capacity. The Stage Manufacturing team owns the build of Terran R's primary structures, turning design into reality through collaborative engineering and manufacturing processes.
In this role, you will provide Design for Manufacturing (DFM) feedback to structures teams during development, prototype, and flight builds. You'll collaborate closely with design, manufacturing, and reliability engineers, as well as internal production teams and external vendors. You'll cover the shop floor for all primary structure work center assembly operations, clearing barriers and keeping production moving. You'll champion process improvements across multiple work centers to enhance assembly operations and incorporate learnings from the first Terran R build. You'll create work instructions, specifications, and best practices across high-fidelity processes, helping standardize manufacturing procedures across the team.
This is an opportunity to work on a tangible, high-momentum project where autonomy, ownership, and impact exist at every level. You'll solve problems that haven't been solved before and see your work come to life in record time, shaping both the product and the process.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Bachelor's degree in manufacturing, aeronautical, mechanical engineering, or related engineering discipline
- 2+ years of progressive, related experience
- Strong history of supporting complicated assembly builds with ability to make risk decisions regularly to disposition issues during build and keep production moving
- Excellent interpersonal skills to interface with engineering and manufacturing groups, understand process constraints, and provide design inputs for improved manufacturability
- Strong engineering fundamentals in statics, mechanics of materials, process improvement/factory design, fastening and joining, and machining
- Expert knowledge of common drilling and trim operations, other manufacturing processes, tools, inspection methods, and GD&T
NICE TO HAVES:
- Direct experience with forming, welding, drill, trim, and fastening operations for aerospace products
- New product introduction of aerospace hardware systems into manufacturing, test, and production environments with proven success
- Experience managing projects in fast-paced environments
