Job summary

Relativity Space, Inc. in Long Beach, CA, is hiring a Manufacturing Integration & Test Engineer II to own hardware from design release through build, test, and delivery for engine and vehicle systems.

You’ll develop detailed build flows, support first articles, and drive manufacturability improvements in a fast-paced, collaborative environment. You’ll work with design, manufacturing, supply chain, and test teams to ensure quality and schedule alignment, while contributing to long‑term systems

Qualifications

• Degree in engineering or a related technical field with 2+ years hands-on hardware build and test experience.
• Skilled at investigating hardware issues, resolving non-conformances, and driving root cause actions.
• Familiar with general assembly and test procedures, tolerance stack‑up analysis, structural proof testing, and pressurized leak checks.
• Comfortable interfacing across design, manufacturing, supply chain, and test teams to ensure hardware quality and schedule alignment.
• Self-starter who can define and roll out new processes from scratch, working collaboratively with technicians, engineers, and external vendors.
• Proficient in GD&T, CAD, and basic design or test analysis, with experience in at least two of the following: LOX cleanliness, leak checking, sensor checkouts, tube bending, tool design, crane operations, or subassembly builds.

Responsibilities

• Own hardware from design release through build, test, and delivery for engine or vehicle systems, taking full responsibility for execution readiness and product quality across subassemblies and integrated systems
• Develop and release detailed build flows, work instructions, and test procedures to enable repeatable, high-quality execution across first builds and maturing programs
• Support first article builds in a fast-paced environment, focusing on manufacturability, repeatability, and quality, while developing scalable processes that enable a smooth ramp to higher production rates
• Provide hands‑on floor support during build and test, resolving issues in real time, incorporating technician feedback, and driving continuous improvement across hardware flow and process discipline
• Coordinate across design, supply chain, production, and test teams to ensure part readiness, tooling availability, schedule alignment, and smooth handoffs between build stages
• Contribute to the development of long‑term manufacturing systems and infrastructure, including tooling strategies, ERP/MES workflows, and production documentation standards
