Our Terran R vehicle will deliver customer payloads to orbit, meeting the growing demand for launch capacity. But that’s just the start. Achieving commercial success with Terran R will unlock new opportunities to advance science, exploration, and innovation, pioneering progress that reaches beyond the known.\nJoining Relativity means becoming part of something where autonomy, ownership, and impact exist at every level. Here, you're not just executing tasks; you're solving problems that haven’t been solved before, helping develop a rocket, a factory, and a business from the ground up. Whether you’re in propulsion, manufacturing, software, avionics, or a corporate function, you’ll 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 we’re writing together. Now is a unique moment in time where it’s early enough to leave your mark on the product, the process, and the culture, but far enough along that Terran R is tangible and picking up momentum. The most meaningful work of your career is waiting. Join us.\nAbout the Team:\nThe Launch team operates at the intersection of every major aspect of Terran R, from stages and payloads to ground systems, launch, landing, and refurbishment. The Cape is the only place where you see it all come together, offering a level of exposure and responsibility unmatched elsewhere in the program. This is where first flights happen, where history is built on top of history, and where the scale of what's underway is unlike anything in modern aerospace. The mission stays the same, but the work evolves with every milestone: from first launch to reuse, high-cadence operations, and beyond. If you're looking to define what's next in space launch and write a new playbook, not just repeat what’s already been done, this is where it happens.\nAbout the Role:\nAs a Level I engineer on the Launch team, you will work with Test and Launch design engineers to support manufacturing and integration activities for launch site hardware and systems. You will contribute to fabrication and integration efforts, work with internal teams and third-party vendors, and gain hands-on experience implementing manufacturing solutions in a fast-paced field environment. You will collaborate with fluids, civil, electrical, and mechanical teams to support integration activities and help ensure hardware is built and installed to engineering requirements and applicable tolerances.\nSupport fabrication and integration activities for structural hardware, tooling, ground support equipment, and related launch site systems under the guidance of experienced engineers\n\nReview engineering drawings, CAD models, work instructions, and specifications to support fabrication and integration activities and identify questions or potential issues\n\nCoordinate with engineering, technicians, fabrication teams, and vendors to support hardware builds, installations, testing, and integration activities\n\nApply established fabrication and field techniques, including drilling, machining, metrology, lifting and rigging, and other processes as appropriate to the hardware and project requirements\n\nAssist with troubleshooting manufacturing and integration issues by gathering information, evaluating potential solutions with experienced team members, and implementing approved changes\n\nDocument manufacturing and integration activities and communicate progress, issues, and results clearly to cross-functional teams\n\nAbout You:\nBachelor's degree in engineering, manufacturing, mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, or a related discipline; or equivalent practical experience\n\nHands-on experience through internships, co-ops, academic projects, or professional work supporting manufacturing, fabrication, structural builds, precision tooling, ground support equipment, or similar mechanical hardware\n\nFamiliarity with CAD software such as NX, Creo, SolidWorks, CATIA, or similar tools\n\nFamiliarity with engineering drawings, dimensions, tolerances, and basic geometric dimensioning and tolerancing concepts\n\nExposure to manufacturing or field fabrication techniques such as drilling, milling, line boring, metrology, lifting and rigging, or similar processes through coursework, projects, internships, or professional experience\n\nAbility to work collaboratively with engineers, technicians, vendors, and other teams to follow established processes, resolve issues, and complete work safely and accurately\n\nNice to haves but not required:\nExperience supporting partial or full life-cycle structural build or integration projects\n\nExperience working with large steel, aluminum, or similar structural systems\n\nExperience with mechanical systems, mechanisms, moving assemblies, or ground support equipment\n\nExperience with proof testing, qualification testing, or other hardware test activities\n\nFamiliarity with AFSPCMAN 91-710 or similar range safety, launch, or aerospace compliance requirements\n\nExperience working on projects supporting the Department of Defense, U.S. Air Force, NASA, or other government or aerospace customers\n\nSuccessful candidates must clear a background check administered by the US government to obtain clearance for on-site work at our government partner location in Cape Canaveral, Florida.\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.\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!
