About the role

Use production and quality data to identify trends such as material failures, machine errors, queue bottlenecks, and documentation gaps
Mentor interns or newer engineers in PBF fundamentals, documentation quality, problem solving, and cross-functional communication

Responsibilities

Our Terran R vehicle will deliver customer payloads to orbit, meeting the growing demand for launch capacity.
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.
Own build preparation, print programming strategy, manufacturing planning, and technical execution for assigned PBF hardware or product groups
Provide feedback to design team on printability, DfAM improvements, part consolidation opportunities, and manufacturability trade-offs
Develop and maintain controlled PBF process documentation, build standards, work instructions, verification plans, and engineering decision records
Identify recurring NCs and implement preventive actions in collaboration with process engineering, quality, and design

Requirements

Nice to haves but not required:
Experience with metal powder handling, tensile testing, metallography, CT/inspection data analysis, or aerospace qualification programs
Experience writing or revising process specifications, qualification plans, acceptance criteria, change-control packages, or AS9100-aligned documentation

Nice to have

Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Manufacturing Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related field
2+ years in metal additive manufacturing, manufacturing engineering, aerospace hardware, materials/process engineering, or related fields (full time industry experience)
Proficiency with LPBF additive manufacturing of metallic materials and understanding of DfAM fundamentals
Hands-on experience with work orders, work instruction creation, and non-conformance resolution
Experience with AM tools such as EOSprint, Magics, 3dxpert, Flow, and CAD tools such as Siemens NX (preferred) or Solidworks
Comfort working with production data, quality records, engineering drawings, specifications, and ambiguous technical constraints

Company info

The Powder Bed Fusion Additive Manufacturing team is pushing the boundaries of what's possible in rocket propulsion hardware.
Responsible for development, process, and production, the team oversees initial concept to final hardware with rigorous quality and precision.
From developing print parameters on state-of-the-art 3D printers to enabling fast iteration for partner departments, the team plays a critical role in taking engine designs from concept to hot fire.
The team was instrumental in producing Aeon 1 engines for Terran 1 launch and is now pioneering next-generation processes and designs for our Aeon R engines that will power Terran R.
With flight hardware production scaling up rapidly, now is the time to join and make a direct impact.
At Relativity Space, we are committed to transparency and fairness in our compensation practices.
At Relativity Space, we're building rockets to serve today's needs and tomorrow's breakthroughs.
Joining Relativity means becoming part of something where autonomy, ownership, and impact exist at every level.
