Both contribute to our long-term vision of creating humanity’s industrial base on Mars, paving the way for interplanetary life to expand the possibilities of the human experience. This journey begins right here on Earth – where we design, build, and fly rockets to deliver customer payloads to orbit. Terran R, our medium-to-heavy lift reusable rocket, fulfills the growing demand for launch capacity, thanks to our iterative approach that accelerates design, testing, and development while minimizing costs. While our groundbreaking research and development in 3D printing pushes the boundaries of large-scale additive manufacturing.\nYour journey with us is more than just a job – it’s an opportunity to shape the future of aerospace technology, additive manufacturing, and the human experience alongside a community of passionate, creative individuals. Join us on this extraordinary journey, as we work together to transform our vision into reality.\nAbout the Team:\nThe Additive Development team at Relativity Space will develop, create, and operate the most advanced additive manufacturing technologies in the world. This best-in-class team makes sure that the infrastructure, materials, tools, and equipment are in place for us to rapidly iterate and print. The Additive Powder Bed Fusion team is crucial to developing and demonstrating groundbreaking technologies, design, and approaches for Aeon-R!\nAbout the Role:\nDevelop additive manufacturing processes to continuously improve manufacturing cost, quality, and lead time.\nProduce additively manufactured components that rapidly enable high performance liquid propulsion hardware.\nHolistically own and optimize the total manufacturing process including, design for additive, build file programing, manufacturing work instructions, and quality verification.\nDevelop, optimize, and productionize process parameters for various alloys and machine systems and develop tools and techniques to accelerate and automate that process.\nExecute material failure investigations, conduct root cause analyses, and implement corrective actions.\nDevelop new tools, techniques, and applications that automate existing processes and standardize on performance-based benchmarks.\nSupport material and process team with characterization and qualification of various alloys.\nAbout You:\nDemonstrated ability to define and implement new engineering processes\nEffectively communicate technical information within a diverse team\nProficient in at least one CAD program, design for additive manufacturing, and GD&T\nExpert knowledge of laser powder bed fusion, printer primary subsystems, and post-processes\n2+ years of experience working in aerospace, medical devices, or ISO environments\n2+ years of experience in mechanical or materials engineering related roles\n5+ years of experience working on metallic additive manufacturing\nWorking knowledge of typical manufacturing execution systems (MES) and quality management systems\nNice to haves but not required:\nAdvanced degree (MS) in Material Science, Materials Engineering, Metallurgy, Mechanical Engineering, or another related field\nFamiliarity with processing large datasets and statistical data analysis software such as R, JMP, or Minitab\nFamiliarity with design and operation of liquid propellent engine systems\nServe as materials subject matter expert on powder bed fusion team\nProficient at oriented programming (Python, JS, C#, or Java)\nExperience in leveraging API’s and real-time data sources to build applications in a production environment\nDeveloping APIs and building applications on them in a production environment\nSix Sigma/Lean manufacturing training\n\nWe are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.\nAt 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.\n\nCompensation 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!
