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 Vehicle Development team at Relativity Space is responsible for the integrated stages and vehicles throughout the full life cycle of the rocket.  As part of the a new central Product Engineering organization, this team works across every function of the company to help design, build, test and fly the world's first 3D printed rocket.  We are experts in doing things for the first time, tackling the tough integrated problems and finding the right balance of planning, rigor and speed to get to a successful flight as fast as possible.

What you’ll do: 

In this role you will be the main conduit and technical leader working closely with the design, manufacturing, operations and launch teams. You will help identify and drive technical vehicle-level design trades to decisions and resolve real-time build issues to support overall program schedule. You will contribute to planning of stage hot fire tests and launch campaigns with specific responsibilities like working with design teams to codify operational limits and organize reviews of CONOPS and procedures.  

You will be a project owner who knows how to adapt as plans change or the project hits setbacks to minimize schedule impacts and keep the team bought into the plan.

The ideal candidate will have 3-5 years work experience, but this role can be scaled up or down to fit the right candidate.

What you need to know:  

  • Bachelor’s degree in a science, engineering, technology, or mathematics field
  • 3+ years of work experience in design, integration or testing complex systems
  • Strong engineering fundamentals in thermodynamics, thermal, structural, fluids analysis and/or electronics
  • Experience working with interdisciplinary technical teams, ideally in a technical leadership capacity

Nice to haves but not required:  

  • Leadership or coordination experience in a multidisciplinary engineering project
  • Experience with integrated testing of rocket stages and/or launch operations
