Job Description

<div class="content-intro">At Relativity Space, we’re building rockets to serve today’s needs and tomorrow’s breakthroughs. Our&nbsp;Terran R vehicle will deliver customer payloads to orbit, meeting the growing demand for launch&nbsp;capacity. But that’s just the start. Achieving commercial success with Terran R will unlock new&nbsp;opportunities to advance science, exploration, and innovation, pioneering progress that reaches beyond&nbsp;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&nbsp;is a unique moment in time where it’s early enough to leave your mark on the product, the process, and&nbsp;the culture, but far enough along that Terran R is tangible and picking up momentum. The most&nbsp;meaningful work of your career is waiting. Join us.</div>About the Team:&nbsp;
The Propulsion Manufacturing Integrated Components team manufactures and tests critical Aeon-R engine components including manifolds, gimbal assemblies, brackets, orifices, etc. The team ensures on-time delivery of propulsion subassemblies to the Aeon-R engine program while driving continuous improvements in safety, quality, reliability, lead time, and cost.
After successfully delivering hardware and developing processes for the first Aeon-R flight engines, we're entering a critical phase: ramping production while concurrently developing next-generation engines to make Terran R the most manufacturable high-performing rocket to date. This role requires a high degree of autonomy and initiative to provide design feedback, pioneer advanced manufacturing methods, and deliver flight hardware for integration and testing.
