NDE 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 Materials and NDE (Non-Destructive Evaluation) team plays a central role in enabling Terran R to fly re-fly and scale: developing characterizing and inspecting materials and processes across all parts of the vehicle. From welding and additive manufacturing to advanced composites the team works at the intersection of innovation and execution balancing performance and reliability with cost quality and schedule. As we move toward first flight and beyond the challenges become more exciting offering opportunities to shape how we design and develop for re-use. With ownership across products systems and disciplines engineers gain broad exposure and drive key decisions across design manufacturing and operations.

About the Role:

Your core responsibilities will be:

• Coordinate with process stakeholders identify applicable external resources and develop infrastructure to unify manufacturing quality and NDE data into central minable database
• Reduce human factors as feasible through automation in data collection (e.g. scanning instrument setup etc.) data routing and decision making
• Demonstrate correlation and automated prediction capability between manufacturing defects and process inputs. Demonstrate ability to prevent defects from forming. Certify proof-of-concept with customers
• Work closely with NDE Level 3s and NDE Engineers to develop and execute feasibility studies PODs and qualification plans incorporating the above
• Interface with outside stakeholders to ensure that qualification data and documentation is in compliance with applicable external customers specifications and/or facilitate and document acceptable alternative methodologies (audit proof)
• Engage in proactive mentorship and provide training and oversight for less experienced Engineers
• Capable of learning set up calibration and operation of complex NDE equipment as a part of the vetting and qualification of a variety of potential NDE methods and 3rd party software and hardware solutions. Must be ready and willing to be on the shop floor regularly to further this effort. This is not a desk job

About You:

• BS or MS in an engineering related field
• 1 years of relevant experience involving NDE methods and acceptance criteria
• Track record of delivering technically concise reports to external and/or internal engineering stakeholders utilizing multiple data sources
• Demonstrated ability to apply engineering fundamentals to achieve a practical manufacturing/production outcome or similar relevant scope
• Technical knowledge in at least 1 of the following NDE Methods: Digital RT CR ECA PAUT
• Understanding of welding flaw acceptance criteria

Nice to haves but not required:

• M.S. and/or PHD in Engineering with a focus on one or more NDE methods
• Experience performing statistical analyses including linear and multi-linear regression Guassian and Bayesian probabilities using R or Python
• Verifiable experience contributing to design and/or qualification of automated NDE systems
• Working knowledge of Lean Manufacturing principles and familiarity with MES systems
• Exposure to aerospace industry codes and standards
• Experience with one or more CAD modeling software platforms
• Previous or current Level 2 or 3 certification in any of the following NDE Methods: Digital RT CR ECA PAUT
• Current ASNT Level 3 in one or more methods
• Experience with inspection of additively manufactured materials FSWs and OTWs
• Experience Auditing 3rd Party NDE service providers and equipment vendors
• Competency in advanced NDE data analysis in one or more methods (PAUT ECA CT DR FMC/TFM)
