About the Team:

The Quality team is focused on embedding quality into every part of the design and production process for Terran R. Not just inspecting at the end but influencing how things are built from the start. The team embeds themselves directly within design manufacturing test and launch teams to stay close to the hardware understand constraints and proactively shape decisions. As we move beyondinitialdevelopment into production and then scaled operations now is the time to put the right processes controls and inspections in place without slowing down progress. The team plays a key role in balancing risk driving a culture of ownership and ensuring that speeddoesntcome at the cost of reliability. Success here means building a quality system that scales with the Terran R program and Relativity as a whole.
