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 Stennis team at Relativity Space is responsible for designing, building, and operating world-class test stands to support the Terran R stages, engines, and components. As part of this team, you will help build and operate massive outdoor test stands at the historic Stennis Space Center on the Gulf Coast, the largest rocket engine test complex in the country. Unique to this location, you will have the opportunity to get hands-on experience with the fully integrated engine and stage assemblies, push the hardware to the limits, and witness rocket engines firing up close and personal! This team was critical to the launch success of Terran 1 and recently made fire on both sides of our dual bay Aeon R engine test stand, among many other firsts!
About the Role:
- Oversight: in-process build verification, issue ticket processes, as-built verification, non-conformance management while demonstrating an ability to establish goals and objectives to complete projects
- Planning: work instruction review, development of processes, corrective action plans, standard rework/repair documentation while driving initiatives to facilitate quality in our growing Test and Launch program
- QMS Support: AS9100 Quality Management System, collaborating with the QMS team to develop and implement, policies, and procedures relevant for the Test and Launch Quality team
- Collaboration: develop strong working relationships with Test and Launch, Manufacturing, and Hardware Responsible Engineering teams to ensure all company objectives can be met, demonstrating and ability to effectively communicate and present information to team members, team leaders, and top management
- Analysis: use data and metrics in QE workflows to identify trends, root causes, corrective actions, and present improvement initiatives
About You:
- Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering or other STEM field
- 3+ years of experience acting as a Quality Engineer at a fast-paced manufacturing company
- Working knowledge of industry standards and regulations (e.g., AS9100, ISO 9001, NASA quality standards)
- In-depth knowledge of aerospace manufacturing/complex assembly practices and typical quality processes/controls
- Working knowledge of typical PLM, MES, ERP and QMS software
Nice to haves but not required:
- Working knowledge of product development methodologies such as Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA), Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP), Statistical Process Control (SPC) and Production Process Verification (PPV).
- Familiarity with high-volume inspection methods and data-driven acceptance methods
- Self-starter that has demonstrated the ability to define and own a process from scratch and roll out that process through adept communication to a diverse team
