Job Details

At Relativity Space, we're building rockets to serve today's needs and tomorrow's breakthroughs. OurTerran R vehicle will deliver customer payloads to orbit, meeting the growing demand for launchcapacity. But that's just the start. Achieving commercial success with Terran R will unlock newopportunities to advance science, exploration, and innovation, pioneering progress that reaches beyondthe known.

Joining Relativity means becoming part of something where autonomy, ownership, and impact exist at every level. Here, you're not just executing tasks; you're solving problems that haven't been solved before, helping develop a rocket, a factory, and a business from the ground up. Whether you're in propulsion, manufacturing, software, avionics, or a corporate function, you'll collaborate across teams, shape decisions, and see your work come to life in record time. Relativity is a place where creativity and technical rigor go hand in hand, and your voice will help define the stories we're writing together. Nowis a unique moment in time where it's early enough to leave your mark on the product, the process, andthe culture, but far enough along that Terran R is tangible and picking up momentum. The mostmeaningful work of your career is waiting. Join us.

About the Team:

The Engine Manufacturing team is dedicated to delivering high-performance engines and advancing innovativemanufacturing systems that continuously improve cost, quality, and lead time. You're not just executing ondesigns; you actively provide input that shapes new hardware iterations and regularly interface with engineers tomake critical decisions for the Aeon R program. Having successfully developed and refined processes for our initialdevelopment engines, the team is now focused on producing flight engines at rate for Terran R's aggressive launchmanifest.

About the Role:

• Own and drive implementation of LP-DED Additive at Relativity for Aeon-R Engine Hardware, overseeing first prints in the factory, to optimized production.
• Develop, validate, and optimize operations, processes, and the LP-DED work center to enable reliable at-rate production while maintaining quality, cost, and safety targets.
• Define and deploy process controls, standard work, and documentation that scale with increasing production demand.
• Lead troubleshooting and root-cause investigations on first-time and recurring issues, implementing sustainable corrective actions.
• Support training and enablement of production teams to ensure long-term operational ownership of the technology.

About You:

• Bachelor of Science degree in aerospace, mechanical, manufacturing engineering, or equivalent.
• 3+ years of experience in aerospace or precision manufacturing environments, with a focus on producing high-stakes, mission-critical hardware.
• 3+ years of direct experience in additive operations, additive manufacturing (powder-based preferred), and post-processing, specifically in a production environment.
• Extensive experience authoring work instructions and/or process procedures to manufacture complex assemblies.
• Experience interfacing with design engineering, manufacturing, and production personnel in a production environment.
• Experience in executing and driving projects in a fast-paced environment.

Nice to haves but not required:

• Direct experience working with LP-DED technology in a manufacturing role.
• Experience manufacturing precision hardware for rocket engines or similar.
• Experience in scaling new processes from development to high-rate production.
