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:
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams (design manufacturing and quality) to develop and optimize fusion welding processes and equipment/tools for Relativitys Aeon-R and Aeon-V engine components
- Responsible for development and qualification of weld joint designs and process parameters in accordance with AWS D17.1 for fracture critical hardware
- Identify and implement new welding capabilities with a focus on automation and process control of Robotic LBW and GTAW
- Work directly with manufacturing teams to provide technical support for welding operations process and troubleshooting.
- Support disposition of hardware non-conformances and RCCA activities
- Ensure process quality control and documentation meets required standards and specifications implement corrective actions and continuous improvements to maintain high-quality outputs
About You:
- Bachelors degree in Welding Engineering or a related field
- Hands-on experience with aerospace fusion welding processes (GTAW robotic laser preferred)
- Familiarity with industry welding codes and standards (e.g. AWS D17.1)
- Knowledge of common aerospace materials (stainless steel nickel aluminum titanium alloys)
- Basic CAD proficiency (SolidWorks CATIA NX) for creating and reviewing drawings and models
Nice to haves but not required:
- B.S. inWelding Engineering or B.S. Welding Engineering Technology
- Hands-on experience with fusion welding processes including manual GTAW semi-auto GTAW and laser welding
- Experience with welding of high temperature nickel alloys and/or welding of additively manufactured materials
- In depth knowledge of AWS D17.1 and related industry welding codes/standards
- Solid background in fusion welding of titanium
- Practical experience with robotic and semi-automated welding techniques
At Relativity Space we are committed to transparency and fairness in our compensation practices. Actual compensation will be determined based on experience qualifications and other job-related factors.
Compensation is only one part of our total rewards package. Relativity Space offers competitive salary and equity a generous PTO and sick leave policy parental leave an annual learning and development stipend and more!To see some of the benefits & perks we offer please visit here.
