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 Regulatory & Government Affairs team is responsible for Relativity Space’s engagement with all levels of government to pursue required approvals and positive policy outcomes as well as remove barriers to innovation and competition. We work cross-functionally to support Relativity's short and long term goals by engaging in direct lobbying and public engagement to pursue company objectives tied to economic development, facilities, external partnerships and business development.

What you'll do:

As a Government Affairs Intern, you will help identify policy opportunities and risks across federal, state, and local governments to ensure that Relativity is positioned to offer innovative solutions to NASA, DOD, and other agencies by leveraging next generation additive manufacturing concepts. This team manages our external engagement with government stakeholders and helps coordinate internal strategic activities.

Potential summer 2022 intern projects (just a few examples!):

Establish a guidebook as Relativity’s first ever Government Affairs Intern
Research US budget opportunities for launch services and large-scale additive manufacturing across various federal agencies
Draft and maintain engagement documents including budget priorities, fact sheets, regulatory comments, legislative language, and more
Analysis of legislative efforts related to Relativity’s aerospace and manufacturing activities
Assist with tracking and coordinating outreach with government partners

Skills/Competencies we're looking for:

Current undergraduate or graduate student earning a degree in Political Science, Law, or a related field
Ability to work in a fast-paced and intense startup environment
Ownership of projects from beginning to end, with minimal oversight
A mind for thinking outside the box and challenging the status quo
Exceptional writing skills and ability to communicate complex issues and concepts

This position must meet Export Control compliance requirements, therefore a United States Person as defined by 22 C.F.R. § 120.15 is required.

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

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

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

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.”

Being at Relativity Space is being a part of the future.

How would you describe the company’s work-life balance?

It's actually a balance (wild!). I get to make sweet hardware with smart people, and still have the ability to propel my art on the side. I love that there's flexibility in being able to work from home when I'm not in the factory building rockets.

Ashley

Lead Avionics Mechanical Engineer

What projects are you most excited about?

First and foremost, launching Terran 1 is incredibly exciting. Launching rockets is exciting enough, but launching rockets built with an entirely new manufacturing method is bananas! It’s pretty amazing to be a part of this historical human milestone.

Tarek

Lead, Structures Engineering

What is your vision for the company?

We are creating an entirely re-imagined process to iterate and scale rockets quickly, eventually helping to build the future of humanity in space.

Tim

CEO and Co-Founder

What does your typical day look like?

Everyday is an adventure to unlock newer and newer capabilities. Developing the technology to 3D print rockets has entailed regularly solving novel problems. The resulting solutions from working with such a diversely experienced team always stretch my understanding of what's possible, and reward us with new avenues for the innovations of tomorrow.
