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 Propulsion team at Relativity is focused on developing and delivering highly performant and manufacturable engines for Terran R. Engineers are responsible for the entire lifecycle of their parts from initial design through production to qualification and flight. The team fosters a culture of bottoms-up decision-making free from technical gatekeeping where ownership and accountability are key at all levels. But designing engines with a quarter million pounds of thrust is just the beginning. As the flight configuration enters qualification the team is now exploring modifications for future engines including thrust upgrades new cycles and design for mass production.

About the Role:

As an Engine Design Responsible Engineer you will be responsible for owning top-level engine CAD models. Depending on the phase of the program and the engine configuration that you are owning this role will entail:

Lead CAD release and configuration control for production engine assemblies ensuring accurate eBOM structures and smooth downstream integration
Own engine layout and packaging trades including definition of Keep-in-Zone (KiZ) and Keep-out-Zone (KoZ) boundaries
Design and analyze Integrated Design hardware (fluid manifolds tubing ducting secondary structures) and execute rapid design tweaks to support engine testing
Define engine assembly tolerances/requirements as defined on Interface Control Diagrams (ICDs.) - Establish and standardize best practices across the Propulsion organization for things like fittings bolts seals etc.
Champion the change management process and help continuously improve it. - Own tracking of key engine metrics like mass and part count
Partner with the Integration/Manufacturing team by reviewing and continuously improving Process Plans Work Orders and Non-Conformances
Strive to set downstream stakeholders up for success by enabling increased engine build rates and quality. Provide floor support at times to resolve build issues

About You:

2 years of professional design experience
Bachelors degree in an engineering field
Demonstrated project/technical leadership skills
Strong understanding of engineering fundamentals in structures fluids thermal and mechanisms
CAD skills (any platform)
Experience with large CAD model management change management and configuration management
Experience designing Integrated Design hardware (manifolds secondary structure tubing etc.)

Great Integration/Manufacturing partner. Experience with any Manufacturing Execution System (MES.) Addresses DFA/DFM feedback in a timely fashion to set production up for success

Nice to haves but not required:

Experience with Siemens NX and Teamcenter specifically
Experience in the design of liquid propulsion components and systems
Experience with Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and commercial tools such as Ansys Abaqus or Nastran
Familiarity with aerospace standards (AS NAS SAE etc.)
Experience with creating release mass and part count reports. Ability to communicate this information to leadership and stakeholders in a clear and concise manner
Familiarity with Qualification and Acceptance test requirements for flight hardware
