Company Overview:
Relativity is the first and only company to automate aerospace manufacturing by integrating intelligent robotics, software, and proprietary metal 3D printing technology. Disrupting 60 years of aerospace, Relativity offers a radically simplified supply chain, building a rocket with 100x fewer parts in less than 60 days. Our long-term goal is to upgrade humanity’s industrial base on Earth and on Mars.

This role is part of the Factory Team, building the world’s first large-scale commercial metal 3D printing production factory. Help our team scale to production by working with design engineers, 3D printing engineers, machinists, and technicians to handle production and final machining for engine hardware.
What you’ll do:
- Setup CNC mills (3-axis, 5-axis) and CNC lathes to keep production moving.
- Operate CNC mills and lathes (multiple shifts) and ensure production targets are met.
- Select tooling and fixturing to properly setup and operate machines.
- Exercise a mindset of continued learning as you develop new skills towards programming and machining.
What you need to know:
- The ideal candidate has 2+ years of experience setting up and operating CNC mills and lathes in a production environment.
- Must have experience working as a manufacturing engineer in R&D or production settings.
- Must understand GD&T and how to read a drawing.
