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. But that’s just the start. Achieving commercial success with Terran R will unlock new opportunities to advance science, exploration, and innovation, pioneering progress that reaches beyond the 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. 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 most meaningful work of your career is waiting. Join us.
About the Team:
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.
About the Role:
- 8+ years of professional experience working with laser trackers
- Experience analyzing data and generating data reports
- 8+ Experience with Verisurf X
- Experience using inspection equipment, such as, micrometers, gauge blocks, dial indicators, height gauges, optical comparators, profilometers, CMM and laser trackers
- Use in-depth familiarity of GD&T to interpret blueprints at all assembly levels
- Collect geometric data via laser tracker through model-based software such as Verisurf
- Discern how best to establish a reference system for the current task then apply it and install it both on and off the part
- Provide analysis of collected data and evaluate it to provide direction for remaining operations
- Integrate process monitoring with the fabrication process to locate both welding details and machining details
About You:
- Understanding of the manufacturing process of large structures from concept to completion
- Ability to precision locate machine details in extreme environments
- Strong mechanical aptitude
- Ability to visualize 3D space and integrate complex geometries on to both large and small fabrications
Nice to haves but not required:
- Ability to find solutions to problems through diverse thinking while utilizing a varied experience
- Ability to maintain the highest level of safety on the job site and bring new ideas of how to continue to work safely and effectively in new locations and changing environments
- Desire to integrate with teams that can change in size and personnel daily and contribute their skills to its cohesion, and effectiveness
