Senior Manufacturing Engineer, Integrated Components

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.

The Propulsion Manufacturing Integrated Components team manufactures and tests critical Aeon-R engine components including manifolds, gimbal assemblies, brackets, orifices, etc. The team ensures on-time delivery of propulsion subassemblies to the Aeon-R engine program while driving continuous improvements in safety, quality, reliability, lead time, and cost.

After successfully delivering hardware and developing processes for the first Aeon-R flight engines, we're entering a critical phase: ramping production while concurrently developing next-generation engines to make Terran R the most manufacturable high-performing rocket to date. This role requires a high degree of autonomy and initiative to provide design feedback, pioneer advanced manufacturing methods, and deliver flight hardware for integration and testing.

Bachelor’s degree in engineering or related technical field and 5+ years of relevant experience in manufacturing engineering or a related role.

Strong foundational knowledge of propulsion systems, mechanics of materials, and thermal-fluid systems to investigate and resolve hardware defects

Ability to work with and train technicians in a hands-on hardware environment, writing work instructions, and process plans for complex assemblies, and drive implementation of improvement and corrective actions

Vendor management experience including selection, defect disposition, and quality management

Proficiency with additive/subtractive manufacturing, precision inspection, GD&T (ASME Y14.5), and FEA using Ansys or similar tools

Experience with tooling design using Siemens NX or other CAD tools, including conceptualization, modeling, analysis, and fabrication
