Vehicle Structures Engineer II

At Relativity Space were building rockets to serve todays needs and tomorrows breakthroughs. OurTerran R vehicle will deliver customer payloads to orbit meeting the growing demand for launchcapacity. But thats just the start. Achieving commercial success with Terran R will unlock newopportunities to advance science exploration and innovation pioneering progress that reaches beyondthe known.

Joining Relativity means becoming part of something where autonomy ownership and impact exist at every level. Here youre not just executing tasks; youre solving problems that havent been solved before helping develop a rocket a factory and a business from the ground up. Whether youre in propulsion manufacturing software avionics or a corporate function youll 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 were writing together. Nowis a unique moment in time where its early enough to leave your mark on the product the process andthe culture but far enough along that Terran R is tangible and picking up momentum. The mostmeaningful work of your career is waiting. Join us.

About the Team:

The Structures and Mechanisms team is responsible for the full design build and test lifecycle of Terran Rs integrated structures and flight mechanisms. Whether youre working on highly iterative mechanisms that move or tight-margin structures that shouldnt youll get hands-on hardware ownership and see the rocket coming to life on the factory floor. Both teams fall under one department sharing design principles tools and an integrated approach that provides a comprehensive view of Terran R. Team members work on multiple parts not just within a single subsystem and are empowered to make decisions that directly impact flight hardware. Beyond first flight youll play a critical role in refining for manufacturability and speed.

About the Role:

To support our mission of changing the way rockets are built and flown you will be responsible for bringing critical flight structures and supporting components from design concept to physical hardware ready to launch. The scope of work encompasses a full design cycle including conceptualization design analysis manufacturing and testing for primary and secondary structures related to Thrust Structure Propellant Tanks Interstage or Fairing to name a few. Here are some examples of projects you could be working on:

• Innovative conceptualization of structural load path design for complex structures and adjacent system packaging
• Review of static & dynamic load inputs material properties & test as well as structural systems & subsystems requirements
• Analysis and sizing of flight structures to ensure timely design reviews and drawing release
• Develop and support hardware test campaigns including test integration operation and result evaluation
• Support manufacturing process development including tools or fixtures design or analysis
• Your mission will be to deliver these projects on time and order to achieve this you will be working closely with our additive design test and loads & dynamics teams

In order to be successful in this role you should be someone who is self-motivated thrives in ambiguity and is able to lead his or her own projects into completion. Ideally you are someone who has come from a fast paced aerospace environment having completed difficult projects while collaborating effectively with other key groups.

On a weekly basis you will be designing flight or ground components using NX/TeamCenter performing analysis using Nastran ANSYS and/or hand calculations creating and releasing drawings as well as supporting fabrication of your components. Your designs will be optimized for our additive manufacturing methods for which fundamental knowledge is will also use your strong organizational skills to properly document your work and move forward your recommendation when decisions are needed.

About You:

• 2 years of experience in a full cycle design engineering role
• Bachelors degree in engineering or related technical discipline
• Demonstrated knowledge of structural analysis and test (from hand calculations to advanced analysis)
• Demonstrated knowledge of structures strength stability and fatigue failure mechanisms
• Demonstrated knowledge of additive and traditional manufacturing processes

Nice to haves but not required:

• 2 years of aerospace experience and an advance engineering degree
• Experience with NX/TeamCenter
• Experience using Nastran and ANSYS
