The Role

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 Quality team is focused on embedding quality into every part of the design and production process for Terran R. Not just inspecting at the end but influencing how things are built from the start. The team embeds themselves directly within design, manufacturing, test, and launch teams to stay close to the hardware, understand constraints, and proactively shape decisions. As we move beyond initial development into production and then scaled operations, now is the time to put the right processes, controls, and inspections in place without slowing down progress. The team plays a key role in balancing risk, driving a culture of ownership, and ensuring that speed doesn’t come at the cost of reliability. Success here means building a quality system that scales with the Terran R program and Relativity as a whole.

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 

At Relativity Space, we are committed to transparency and fairness in our compensation practices. Actual compensation will be determined based on experience, qualifications, and other job-related factors.
Compensation is only one part of our total rewards package. Relativity Space offers competitive salary and equity, a generous PTO and sick leave policy, parental leave, an annual learning and development stipend, and more! To see some of the benefits & perks we offer, please visit here.
