At Relativity Space, we’re building rockets to serve today’s needs and tomorrow’s breakthroughs. Our Terran R vehicle will deliver customer payloads to orbit, meeting the growing demand for launch capacity. Achieving commercial success with Terran R will unlock new opportunities to advance science, exploration, and innovation, pioneering progress that reaches beyond the known.
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. Now is a unique moment in time where it’s early enough to leave your mark on the product, the process, and the culture, but far enough along that Terran R is tangible and picking up momentum. The Manufacturing team owns all process development, fabrication strategy, and production equipment for Terran R, our next generation, reusable rocket. This team has a wide variety of responsibilities - from factory floor layout, to developing complex tooling for novel processes, and interfacing with our vehicle engineering team to heavily influence design of the rocket. We leverage our deep expertise to translate engineering requirements into highly optimized production lines, working cross functionally to consistently enhance the vehicle program.
This is a 1st shift position with a standard schedule of 5:00AM-3:30PM PT, Monday through Friday. Please note that this position is structured around a baseline expectation of a 50-hour workweek, which may include occasional overtime as needed to meet operational goals.
Responsible for operating equipment used for aerospace grade composites manufacturing such as curing ovens and ply cutting tables
Responsible for handling composite pre-preg materials and adhesives, in and out of cold storage, and maintaining material traceability and out-life documentation
Responsible for safely de-tooling finished composite parts via critical lifting, and preparing lamination tools for next runs using mold sealants and release agents
5+ years of composites manufacturing experience in aerospace, automotive, or similar industries
Demonstrated ability to work in a fast paced manufacturing environment
Ability to effectively communicate (verbal and written) with engineering and production
Ability to use forklifts or cranes to perform critical lifts of flight hardware, raw material, or tooling/GSE
Ability to interpret live data on cure charts such as temperature and pressure readings, and determine if cure cycles are proceeding nominally
Working experience with Manufacturing Execution System software to document manufacturing operations (work order labor charging, buyoffs, data collections, etc.)
FAA Airframe & Powerplant (A&P) Certificate
Experience partnering with other business functions to successfully build flight hardware such as manufacturing engineering and quality
Experience supporting manufacturing operations at remote or downstream work sites
Relativity Space offers competitive salary and equity, a generous PTO and sick leave policy, parental leave, an annual learning and development stipend, and more!
