Spacecraft Structures Responsible Engineer

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 Interplanetary Program wasestablishedto expand access to scientific exploration across our solar system. Its mission is to make planetary research faster more affordable and more capable than ever before by rethinking how science missions are designed built andoperated. The program aims to enable scientists to send instruments to distant worlds without decades of development or prohibitive costs. By creating a sustainable model for interplanetary exploration we are transforming space science from an occasional event into a continuous process of discovery that accelerates knowledge broadens participation and inspires the next generation of explorers.

About the Role:

As a Structures Responsible Engineer within the Interplanetary Program at Relativity Space you will own the design development analysis build and verification of primary and secondary spacecraft structuresfrom concept through flight. You will bedirectly responsiblefor delivering flight-ready hardware that meets mission performance reliability and costobjectives.

This position requires a highly motivated hands-on engineer who thrives in ambiguity can execute with autonomy and is eager to take on end-to-end ownershipfrom early architecture and trade studiesto prototype testingto final flight qualification.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

• Lead the design analysis and development of spacecraft structures from concept through flight
• Perform structural and dynamic analysis (FEA hand calcs margins etc.) tovalidatedesigns across all mission phases
• Produce engineering drawings with required specifications for manufacturing
• Collaborate withall subsystemsto ensure structural integrity and system-level integration.
• Manage fabrication and assembly of structural components including supplier coordination material procurement and flight hardware acceptance testing
• Design and executeenvironmental testing load testing and flight verification campaigns

About You:

• Bachelors or Masters degree in Aerospace Engineering Mechanical Engineering or a related technical field
• 5 years of experience designing analyzing and delivering aerospace primary or secondary structures
• Demonstrated ability to take structural systems from blank-sheet concept through qualification and flight
• Proficiencyin CAD and structural analysis tools
• Hands-on experience with metallic structural design GD&T drawing creation integration and testing
• Strong communication skills and demonstrated success working cross-functionally in fast-paced environments

Nice to haves but not required:

• Direct technical experience withinterplanetary spacecraft design
• Experience designingavionics enclosures
• Familiarity with NASA or other spaceflight structuraldesign andverification standards
• Experience with spaceflight hardware environmental testing and qualification
