Company Overview:
At Relativity Space, we have two audacious goals: to build the next great commercial launch company with Terran R and to become America's leading force in additive manufacturing innovation. Both contribute to our long-term vision of creating humanity’s industrial base on Mars, paving the way for interplanetary life to expand the possibilities of the human experience. This journey begins right here on Earth – where we design, build, and fly rockets to deliver customer payloads to orbit. Terran R, our medium-to-heavy lift reusable rocket, fulfills the growing demand for launch capacity, thanks to our iterative approach that accelerates design, testing, and development while minimizing costs. While our groundbreaking research and development in 3D printing pushes the boundaries of large-scale additive manufacturing.
Your journey with us is more than just a job – it’s an opportunity to shape the future of aerospace technology, additive manufacturing, and the human experience alongside a community of passionate, creative individuals. Join us on this extraordinary journey, as we work together to transform our vision into reality.
About the Team:
The Quality team supports all areas of production of Relativity’s hardware and defines the processes to do so. We work closely with engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, test and launch counterparts to ensure the quality of our products. We help lay the foundation for all processes within the product lifecycle – design, buy, build, test, and launch. This is a unique opportunity to join a growing Quality organization and help lead the front on producing the industry’s highest quality 3D-printed parts and launch vehicle.
About the Role:
- Collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders to improve supplier quality, sustaining a culture of problem solving and continuous improvement
- Collaborate with the quality team to achieve goals and objectives aligned with company priorities
- Conduct supplier evaluations, issues corrective actions, and support development of key suppliers
- Confirm supplier compliance with industry standards, such as AS9100, ISO 9001, and NASA quality requirements
- Analyze defect data and metrics to identify trends and areas for improvement among suppliers
- Collaborate with cross functional and external stakeholders to lead problem solving of supplier quality issues and validate corrective actions.
- Lead containment activities for supplier related quality spills and improve efficiency of screening defects
About You:
- 8+ years of experience in supplier quality engineering
- In-depth knowledge of industry standards and regulations (e.g., AS9100, ISO 9001, NASA quality standards)
- Technical and experiential knowledge of manufacturing processes and standards necessary to manufacturing and validate space quality hardware
- In-depth knowledge of configuration management, manufacturing methods, and process quality controls
Nice to haves but not required:
- Familiarity with high-volume inspection methods and data-driven acceptance methods
- Strong knowledge of enterprise applications (i.e., PLM, ERP, MES) and proficient in data analysis
- Self-starter that has demonstrated the ability to define and own a process from scratch and roll out that process through adept communication to a diverse team
- Experience with New Product Development and PPAP implementation

What the Team is Saying
What We Do
A rocket company at the core, Relativity Space is on a mission to become the next great commercial launch company. Terran R, our medium-to-heavy lift reusable launch vehicle, will reliably deliver payloads to orbit on-time and on-budget for customers – meeting the needs of growing demand for space infrastructure. Leveraging the benefits of additive manufacturing to design, test, and iterate at a pace unmatched in the industry, we are changing the way rockets are built and flown.
Our long-term goal is to create humanity’s industrial base on Mars, paving the way for interplanetary life to fundamentally expand the possibilities of the human experience. The first step toward this vision starts here on Earth, by building the next great commercial launch company.
Why Work With Us
For 60 years, aerospace manufacturing has relied on fixed tooling and complex supply chains to slowly build rockets comprised of hundreds of thousands of parts. Leveraging advances in additive manufacturing, Relativity Space is strategically focused on reducing vehicle complexity, cost, and time to market.
