Arwa Tizani

Technical Program Manager, Test & Launch

ASTRONOMICAL OPPORTUNITY

Building future-proof operations

Arwa Tizani never thought she’d find a role that would allow her to grow in both civil and mechanical engineering, but then she found Relativity Space. “Working at Relativity has allowed me to drastically widen my skill sets across both fields of engineering while having a significant impact on a high-tech industry,” she said. Whether Tizani is building product roadmaps or working with NASA officials, she is focused on one goal: “I am constantly solving the problem of how to design and build our test and launch sites for the future.”

I get to collaborate with incredible people every day to push the boundaries of what the rest of the world calls ‘rocket science.’

Fritz Gruber

Principal Additive Development Engineer

EVERYDAY EXPERIMENTATION

Reimagining possibilities in 3D printing

According to Fritz Gruber, Relativity Space employees need one thing: to approach their work with wonder and relentless passion. “My job is to experiment with new technology every day,” Gruber said. “The ‘unrealistic’ challenges push me to reimagine what I’m doing.” While Gruber explores new approaches to welding and 3D printing, he is laying the groundwork for future engineers as well. “This pushes me to think outside the box and allows me to unleash all my creativity,” he said. “It can be frustrating when I fail, but the reward of succeeding is incredible.”

Relativity is a great place for people to challenge traditions and themselves.

Abraham Awad

Director, Total Rewards

VALUE CENTERED

New horizons for every team

Experimentation isn’t limited to the tech at Relativity. While technologists are responsible for things outside of our world, Awad and the people team are looking for ways to make life at Relativity better — from a $10,000 family-building benefit to regular team off-sites. As the people team develops new programs, their work is rooted in the company values: audacity, relentlessness, wonder and humanity. “We live by and believe in these words,” Awad said. “We challenge convention, relentlessly seek meaningful results, approach problems in a new way and support the greater good of our team.”

Being at Relativity Space is being a part of the future.
