Company Overview:
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 Manufacturing team at Relativity Space is currently deep in manufacturing trades and process development for Terran R, our next generation, fully re-useable rocket. This team has a wide variety of responsibilities—from determining the most efficient factory floor layout, to developing and implementing complex tooling and processes, and even interfacing with the vehicle engineering team to heavily influence the design of the rocket. Unique to Relativity, you will get to work across many teams to iterate and support development of the vehicle program.
About the Role:
- Optimize and develop all aspects of the manufacturing process within machining to bring the department into AS9100D compliance
- Work with all engineering teams to develop processes for new designs that leverage the full capability of the technology
- Create and manage manufacturing BOMs, work instructions, and specifications
- Work with new machines from installation through troubleshooting, calibration, and maintenance, while developing standard operating procedures and communicating with machine suppliers to address needs and problems
- Review drawings for manufacturability
- Produce reports, procedures, and manuals to document results to mature development processes for production
- Prepare/Manage document packages for machining/fabrication (e.g. machining layouts, machine programs and equipment setup/operation procedures)
- Design tooling and fixtures required for machining components
- Create & Manage CNC programming code, utilization, and storage
- Recommend, purchase, and coordinate installation of capital equipment and tooling
About You:
- A Bachelors degree is not required to be an engineering specialist
- 7 to 8 Years of progressive and related experience
- 3D & 2D design/drafting skills per ASME Y14.5M (NX preferred)
- Experience interfacing with engineering and manufacturing groups to understand process constraints and provide design inputs for improved manufacturability
- Experience working with subtractive manufacturing and joining techniques for metals
- Experience with GD&T
- Experience performing trade studies using first principles and engineering fundamentals
- Experience with NX
Nice to haves but not required:
- Able to work well in an integrated collaborative team environment
- Highly self-motivated and able to prioritize and execute tasks in a high-pressure environment
