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.  

Team:  

The Quality team is responsible for assuring the quality of Relativity’s hardware and defines the processes to do so. As Senior Quality Engineer, you will be responsible for assuring build reliability at Relativity—from defining the processes in which we support Production to developing our systems to support. You will have the opportunity to set the tone for Quality at Relativity by helping to grow the team, defining the processes, and establishing interdepartmental relationships needed to accomplish our goals. This is a unique opportunity to define Quality for an entirely new production process of additive manufacturing. We are seeking a highly-motivated individual to lead the front on producing the industry’s highest quality 3D-printed parts. 

What you’ll do: 

• Help to define Relativity’s build reliability program. Lay the foundation for how hardware gets screened and processed at Relativity. Ownership will include the following: 
  • Design: drawing standardization, DFM, and configuration management and control.
  • Build: in-process build verification, standard rework/repair documentation, CMM, containments, etc.
  • Program: issue ticket processes, as-built verification, root cause/corrective action, etc.
• Drive initiatives to facilitate quality in our growing launch vehicle program. Some projects may include spearheading specification development, developing walk down checklists, supporting automation initiatives for quality inspection, assisting in DFM practices, etc.
• Develop strong working relationships with Engineering, Additive, Production, and Launch teams to ensure all company objectives can be met.

What you need to know:  

• Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering or other STEM field.
• Minimum of 5 years of experience acting as a Quality Engineer at a fast-paced manufacturing company.
• Extensive experience interfacing with design engineering, manufacturing, and production personnel.
• In-depth knowledge of aerospace manufacturing practices, typical quality processes (nonconforming material, corrective action, inspection optimization), and process quality controls.
• Working knowledge of typical manufacturing execution systems and quality management systems.

Nice to haves but not required:  

• New product introduction of an aerospace hardware system into a manufacturing, test, and production system with proven success.
• Well-versed in process development and first-time quality efforts.
• Familiarity with high-volume inspection methods and data-driven acceptance methods.
• Understanding of AS9100/ISO9001 applications and practices for an aerospace program.
• 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.

Relativity Space offers competitive salary and equity, a generous vacation policy, an annual L&D stipend and more!
