Supports primary structure assembly on the shop floor, removes production barriers, improves manufacturing processes, creates work instructions and specifications, standardizes operations, and provides design-for-manufacturing feedback. Collaborates with design, manufacturing, reliability, production, and vendor teams during prototype and flight builds. Requires hands-on aerospace assembly experience, strong engineering fundamentals, and knowledge of drilling, trimming, fastening, machining, inspection, and GD&T.

Designs, analyzes, tests, and supports manufacturing of primary and secondary rocket structures for Relativity Space’s Terran R vehicle. Owns components from requirements through production, including load-path conceptualization, structural sizing, CAD design, drawing release, hardware test campaigns, and manufacturing process development. Uses NX/TeamCenter, Nastran, ANSYS, and hand calculations while collaborating across engineering and production teams.

Design, analyze, manufacture, and test rocket mechanisms including stage separation, payload deployment, landing gear, and aerodynamic actuation systems. The role covers full-cycle engineering, trade studies, requirements definition, structural analysis, subsystem integration, additive manufacturing, and hardware testing. The engineer collaborates with structures, avionics, fluids, vehicle design, test, loads, and manufacturing teams while leading projects to completion on schedule and within budget.

Owns system-level design and integration for complex rocket mechanisms, including thrust vector control. Defines requirements, CONOPS, verification plans, and test criteria; leads cross-functional collaboration across mechanical, actuator, GNC, avionics, and software teams. Coordinates design, manufacturing, integration, and testing while managing technical risks, schedules, and flight readiness. Provides hands-on support through test fixture design, sensor specification, automation, and root-cause investigations.

Design, analyze, manufacture, and test rocket mechanisms including stage separation, payload deployment, aero control systems, and landing gear. Lead trade studies, define requirements, review loads and materials, integrate subsystems, and collaborate with structures, avionics, manufacturing, additive, and test teams. Own full-cycle hardware projects while delivering on schedule and budget.

Design, analyze, build, and test rocket mechanisms for stage separation, payload deployment, aero control, and landing systems. Conduct concept development, trade studies, requirements definition, load and materials reviews, and hardware testing. Collaborate with structures, avionics, fluids, manufacturing, additive, and test teams while owning projects through completion, supporting manufacturability, and delivering work on schedule and budget.

Build and own an end-to-end spacecraft hardware-in-the-loop test capability, including rack hardware, avionics integration, simulation, data acquisition, automated test frameworks, CI/regression pipelines, dashboards, and telemetry. Debug failures across hardware, software, interfaces, timing, communications, and test infrastructure. Lead spacecraft integration and validation through launch while coordinating with subsystem engineering teams.

Own the design, development, analysis, testing, and delivery of mechanical hardware for space science avionics platforms. Responsibilities include designing enclosures, mounting structures, thermal accommodations, and spacecraft interfaces; ensuring hardware survives launch and space environments; solving structural and thermal packaging challenges; rapidly prototyping and debugging hardware; and leading systems through qualification to flight readiness.

Own the design, development, qualification, and integration of high-performance spacecraft electronics for deep-space compute and storage. Lead architecture, prototyping, board bring-up, validation, and technology demonstrations while balancing compute capability with power, thermal, EMI, mechanical, reliability, and radiation constraints. Collaborate with science and software teams to integrate onboard and ground infrastructure and deliver flight-ready systems.
