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. Check out our latest YouTube video here!    

Team: 

Relativity seeks an entry-level Simulation and Controls Engineer to join Relativity full-time.  

Your application will be reviewed, and if you are chosen to move forward, you will interview with Engineers at Relativity Space. If you are selected to move forward; your application will be considered for the below specialized team: 

Propulsion: The Propulsion team at Relativity Space is responsible for the design, development, testing, and manufacturing of Relativity’s entirely 3D printed rocket engines, Aeon-1 and Aeon-R. As a part of this team, you will help build, create, and iterate on the full product lifecycle of our engines. 

Robotics Hardware/Additive Development: The Robotics Hardware/Additive Development team is responsible for the design, development, installation, and commissioning of the large format robotic 3D printers that build Relativity’s rockets. The team is a true R&D machine that is constantly designing, testing, inventing, questioning, and building in service of creating the next generation of disruptive aerospace manufacturing techniques. 

Vehicle: The Vehicle Engineering team at Relativity Space is responsible for ensuring that our rockets will achieve our overall objectives across Performance, Guidance Navigation and Control, Aerodynamics, and other Flight Sciences. The team architects and executes analysis, simulation, controls and test projects for all of Relativity’s hardware and software teams in pursuit of mission success.  

What you'll do: 

• Develop models and simulations of Relativity’s rocket engines, fluids systems, and launch vehicles 
• Design, tune, and test control systems for vehicle actuators, engines, and attitude control thrusters 
• Analyze the performance of Relativity vehicles against customer requirements 
• Contribute to our simulation toolsets to enable optimized design and printing of vehicle structures 

Skills/Competencies we're looking for:  

• Current undergraduate or graduate student graduating in December 2021 or Spring/Summer 2022 
• Earning your degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a similar field
