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.  

Team:

The Additive Development group is responsible for the development and maturing of the core additive manufacturing technology used to produce Relativity’s orbital-class launch vehicles. The Additive Simulation Team develops the analytical tools for predicting residual stresses, distortions, and damage tolerance of Relativity’s additively manufactured components.

What you’ll do:

You will integrate our simulation tools into Relativity’s proprietary workflow for producing the world’s largest 3D printed structures. You will be responsible for developing software products that automate our simulation capabilities and add additional functionality and resolution across models of several physical length scales.

What you need to know:

  • BS or MS in engineering or computer science
  • Expertise in solid mechanics and heat transfer analysis using CEA software
  • Demonstrated experience in using scripting languages to extend the functionality and automation of CAE tools (Python, C++)
  • Design, implement, and test new software products and capabilities for new feature enhancement of our simulation capabilities
  • Experience with CICD tools including GitLab
  • Experience solving complex problems with multi-disciplinary teams
  • Experience with high-performance computing

Nice to haves but not required – if you do not meet all of these criteria, you should still apply:

  • Ph.D. in engineering or computer science
  • Experience writing numerical solvers
  • 3+ years in software development
  • Direct experience with ABAQUS
  • Experience with advanced automated and dynamic meshing methods
  • Experience solving engineering problems in robotic arc-welding and WAAM applications
  • Experience developing, debugging, and shipping software products spanning multiple platforms and tools
  • Proficient in common database languages (SQL, PHP, Python, R, C#)

We believe varied perspectives & backgrounds strengthen our team. Prior experience in aerospace is not required.

Relativity Space offers competitive salary and equity, a generous vacation policy, an annual Learning & Development stipend and more! 

We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.

Arwa Tizani
Technical Program Manager, Test & Launch
ASTRONOMICAL OPPORTUNITY
Building future-proof operations
Arwa Tizani never thought she’d find a role that would allow her to grow in both civil and mechanical engineering, but then she found Relativity Space. “Working at Relativity has allowed me to drastically widen my skill sets across both fields of engineering while having a significant impact on a high-tech industry,” she said. Whether Tizani is building product roadmaps or working with NASA officials, she is focused on one goal: “I am constantly solving the problem of how to design and build our test and launch sites for the future.”

I get to collaborate with incredible people every day to push the boundaries of what the rest of the world calls ‘rocket science.’
Fritz Gruber
Principal Additive Development Engineer
EVERYDAY EXPERIMENTATION
Reimagining possibilities in 3D printing
According to Fritz Gruber, Relativity Space employees need one thing: to approach their work with wonder and relentless passion. “My job is to experiment with new technology every day,” Gruber said. “The ‘unrealistic’ challenges push me to reimagine what I’m doing.” While Gruber explores new approaches to welding and 3D printing, he is laying the groundwork for future engineers as well. “This pushes me to think outside the box and allows me to unleash all my creativity,” he said. “It can be frustrating when I fail, but the reward of succeeding is incredible.”

Relativity is a great place for people to challenge traditions and themselves.
Abraham Awad
Director, Total Rewards
VALUE CENTERED
New horizons for every team
Experimentation isn’t limited to the tech at Relativity. While technologists are responsible for things outside of our world, Awad and the people team are looking for ways to make life at Relativity better — from a $10,000 family-building benefit to regular team off-sites. As the people team develops new programs, their work is rooted in the company values: audacity, relentlessness, wonder and humanity. “We live by and believe in these words,” Awad said. “We challenge convention, relentlessly seek meaningful results, approach problems in a new way and support the greater good of our team.”
