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:
- Will join Weld Development team responsible for developing qualifying and executing weld processes across Terran-R
- Will be own fabrication and welding for critical flight hardware including: Manual/semi-automated laser and GTAW welding - use of equipment torches consumables etc.
- Aiding in weld parameter and schedule development including weld repairs
- Loading and unloading hardware with use of overhead cranes or forklifts
- Installing structural mechanical parts and tooling performing dimensional fitment inspection and accurately use precision measuring tools such as micrometers calipers and torque wrenches
- Performing visual weld inspection precision blending using hand tools
- Ensure all welding operations are run in accordance to Relativity Space safety and quality standards - Identify and resolve welding related issues which could include defects in materials equipment malfunctions or inefficiencies in production methods
About You:
- 6 years of aerospace welding as weld technician fabricator operator or related role
- 3 years experience with GTAW and/or laser welding (titanium or stainless preferred)
- Hands-on experience in weld joint preparation fit-up and post-weld blending/inspection
- Working knowledge of weld quality standards (e.g. AWS D17.1 NADCAP ASME etc.) and basic inspection techniques (visual dimensional checks etc.)
- Ability to read and interpret blueprints weld symbols and engineering drawings with solid understanding of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T)
- Ability to lift 25 lbs (reasonable accommodations will be made for qualified individuals with disabilities)
Nice to haves but not required:
- Hands-on experience welding titanium or stainless per AWS D17.1 requirements
- Strong communication skills and ability to adapt in fast paced environments
- Experience coaching/mentoring weld technicians
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.
