Senior Opto-Mechanical 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 Sciences Program was established to 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 and operated. 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:

We are seeking a Senior Opto-Mechanical Engineer to bridge the optical and mechanical disciplines in support of advanced optical systems for deep-spacemissions. This engineer will design the structures mounts and mechanisms that preserve optical alignment through thermal variation launch vibration and on-orbit gravity release. The role partners closely with the Optics Engineer on optical prescription the OpticalCommunicationsEngineer on pointing and isolation requirements and the Mechanical Engineer on structural and thermal analysis.

About You:

• Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering Optical Engineering or a related field
• 5 years of experience in opto-mechanical design for precision optical systems or similar
• Strong understanding of opto-mechanical design principles
• Proficiencyin CAD modeling for optical or precision mechanical assemblies
• Experience using FEA to evaluate opto-mechanical structures for gravity sag thermal distortion and vibration response

Nice to haves but not required:

• Working knowledge of thermal effects on optical alignment including CTE mismatch and thermally induced distortion
• Experience with space opto-mechanical hardware or environments
• Familiarity with contamination-sensitive hardware optical coatings and material selection for optical systems
• Knowledge of materials commonly used in opto-mechanical design including aluminum alloys stainless steel fasteners and optics-compatible adhesives
