Job description

Manufacturing Engineer II, CNC Machining

Long Beach, California

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.

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 mission of the Engine Manufacturing Department is to deliver high-performing products and innovative manufacturing systems while driving continuous improvements in cost, quality, and lead time. Through cross-functional collaboration, high levels of accountability, and a focus on safety we play a crucial role in building our reusable rocket, Terran-R. We are responsible for providing design feedback on new hardware iterations, pioneering and implementing advanced manufacturing methods and systems, and ultimately delivering engine and vehicle hardware for testing prior to launch.

About the Role:

• Create Process Plans, Standard Operating Procedures, Inspection Plans, Work Holding Designs, and other supporting documents to define process for parts
• Improve manufacturing processes through developing and deploying new technologies and methodologies
• Advise on design for manufacturability methodologies to upstream partners
• Articulate manufacturing, fixturing, and inspection method for designs concepts, GD&T requirements, and datum structures to inform design choices.
• Recommend novel designs or design updates that improve manufacturability
• Analyze and improve process that create non-conforming hardware. Investigate root causes and determine corrective actions.

About You:

• B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or related discipline.
• 5+ years of experience in machining
• Minimum of 3 years’ experience in Manufacturing Engineering, Quality, or Supply Chain

Nice to haves but not required:

• Knowledge of metrology and dimensional inspection methods
• Proficiency in CAD and CAM software
• Understanding of manufacturing processes, lean principles, and continuous improvement methodologies
• Knowledge of fixture design and stack-ups analysis

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.

Hiring Range:

$112,000 - $143,000 USD

We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
