Job Summary

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 Integrated Performance team owns the holistic view of how Terran R comes together ensuring that every system on the vehicle and ground is capable of achieving our ambitious objectives. The team works across the full launch system from trajectory design and aerodynamics to reliability analysis and beyond with direct influence on all parts of the product lifecycle from conceptual design to post-flight data review. Beyond analysis team members engage hands-on with hardware and operations with the mission and authority to drive meaningful programmatic change. With a unique organizational structure the integrated performance team spans multiple technical domains and embeds directly with partner teams to solve the hardest multi-disciplinary problems. The team operates with a rare scale: large enough to support complex development yet small enough that individual contributors have meaningful impact.

The Integrated Analysis group is responsible for accelerating Relativitys hardware engineering via advanced analysis and cutting-edge tools. The team works on a variety of complex structures analyses across all of our hardware teams and develops tools and methods to unlock deeper insight in less time - to reduce weight improve robustness and deliver more flight-ready hardware to the launch pad.

About the Role:

Drive architecture sizing and development of structures like tanks thrust structures mechanisms trays lines and other components in collaboration with peer technical teams
Build execute and validate structures analyses at the component system and vehicle level including relevant tool development and automation. Develop novel structural analysis techniques for reusable 3D-printed launch vehicles
Direct design and development engineers in the successful application of structural mechanics and analysis principles to achieve system and component requirements
Develop and execute tests to support structures development and qualification including hands-on work like test article integration instrumentation setup and data processing

About You:

Undergraduate degree in engineering or a related discipline
2 years experience in an analysis role
Working knowledge of structural analysis and test (from hand calculations to advanced numerical analysis e.g. nonlinear buckling or explicit dynamics)
Fundamental knowledge of metallic structure behavior and failure modes like strength stability and fatigue
Proficiency in a commercial aerospace finite element package (e.g. Nastran Abaqus) and a relevant pre/post-processor like Femap
Proficiency with an engineering scripting language like Python or MATLAB

Nice to Haves but Not Required:

Graduate degree in engineering or a related discipline
5 years experience in an analysis role
Experience across 1 or more full product lifecycles of an integrated vehicle
Graduate education in structural mechanics computer science or numerical methods
Experience with Abaqus or ANSA
