Description

At Relativity Space, we’re building rockets to serve today’s needs and tomorrow’s breakthroughs. 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.
Joining 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.

Responsibilities
  • Lead and scale a cross-functional additive manufacturing organization consisting of process engineers, product owners, and production technicians supporting both R&D and production environments
  • Oversee ownership and execution of additive processes for propulsion-critical hardware, ensuring throughput, yield, and schedule targets are met across combustion devices, turbopumps, valves, and integrated components
  • Drive performance in AM production operations – work order execution, pass yield, cycle time, and on-time delivery – with a focus on repeatability and cost
  • Implement KPIs and lean operating principles for post-processing, printer uptime, and technician team effectiveness
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with design, materials, quality, supply chain, and operations to ensure alignment from prototype to production including process control implementation, risk reduction strategies, and root cause systems across the AM lifecycle
  • Own the technical roadmap for additive scaling – process qualification, material validation, MES/QMS iteration, quality systems (NCRs, CAPAs), automation, and DfAM standards
  • Guide factory floor configuration for optimal additive cell layout, capacity scaling, and build-flow efficiency
  • Manage technical partnerships with vendors (machine OEMs, powder suppliers) and guide roadmap for next-gen AM equipment & materials
  • Serve as additive SME at program and executive level; shape strategic decisions with data-backed input
  • Recruit, coach, and retain a high-performing team of engineers and technicians; build succession plans and develop future leaders
  • Foster a strong safety culture and promote disciplined operational behavior aligned with AS9100 and internal quality standards
