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 Tooling and Factory Automation team sits at the intersection of design manufacturing and automation making everything from large-scale structural fixtures to small tools that directly enable Terran Rs production. As a design group embedded within the manufacturing organization we dig deep into the needs of our internal partners to understand root problems propose solutions and deliver hardware to help build faster scale smarter and work better. The team is also at the forefront of Relativitys growing factory automation efforts an increasingly critical part of scaling production of Terran R at existing and future facilities. Youll have the autonomy to make decisions field solutions and see them in action on the factory floor. Ultimately youre not just designing tools or automated processes; youre defining how rockets and factories get built.
