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:
Serve as technical authority for structures design in collaboration with Relativitys engineering leadership
Hire train guide and mentor structures & design engineers to be efficient hardware-focused collaborative and technically rigorous
Innovative conceptualization of structural load path design of complex structures definition of system packaging guidance of test campaigns as well as support of manufacturing processes
Review of static & dynamic load inputs material properties and additive process features development along with establishing structural systems & subsystems requirements
About You:
- Undergraduate degree in engineering or related field
- 3 years of technical leadership hiring and performance management experience
- Demonstrated ownership accountability and success in delivering complex products on time and budget with minimal guidance
- Fundamental knowledge of structures design analysis manufacturing and testing
Nice to haves but not required:
