Job summary

Relativity Space is hiring for a manufacturing engineer focused on mechanisms and electromechanical assemblies for the Terran R program. You will own major assemblies from design release to test, optimize build/test flows, and ensure scalable, high-quality production for a reusable rocket.

You will lead process development, write work instructions, interface with design, manufacturing, and supply chain, and drive improvements with large scope.

Qualifications

• BS degree in aerospace, mechanical, or manufacturing engineering with 2+ years of experience building and testing hardware.
• Experience developing processes, authoring work instructions and/or test procedures to build and test interdisciplinary mechanical, electrical, and pneumatic assemblies.
• Experience interfacing with design engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, quality, planning, and production personnel.
• Extensive experience leading, executing and managing large process and/or quality improvements with large scope of ownership.
• Ability to work autonomously with little supervision in a fast-paced and ambiguous environment.
• Knowledge in fastening and torquing operations, pneumatic and/or electromechanical assembly, electrical/pneumatic testing or functional checkouts, tooling design and fabrication, and harness manufacturing.

Responsibilities

• Own major mechanized assemblies and their child components from design release through test and successful integration onto the Terran R launch vehicle—lay out the build and test flow to ensure an efficient, high-quality product flow capable of scaling with time.
• Drive the assembly’s build and test effort through design integration, part sourcing, assembly sequencing, mBOM development, build and test work order creation, and specification authoring.
• Support workcenter development by considering assembly and test operations, safety, tooling and capital equipment requirements, and company operational goals.
• Provide hands-on support to the shop floor and production personnel, promptly addressing any issues that arise and offering upstream feedback to drive design for manufacturability.
• Analyze and disposition recurring manufacturing discrepancies and lead multi-disciplinary teams on root cause analysis and corrective actions.
• Foster a culture of critical thinking and imaginative problem-solving, constantly challenging the established norms in engineering and manufacturing, and pushing the boundaries to achieve efficient production throughout the workcenter. Mentor other manufacturing engineers, providing guidance to support technical and professional development.
