Job 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.
About the Team:
The Engine Manufacturing team is dedicated to delivering high-performance engines and advancing innovative manufacturing systems that continuously improve cost quality and lead time. You’re not just executing on designs; you actively provide input that shapes new hardware iterations and regularly interface with engineers to make critical decisions for the Aeon R program. Having successfully developed and refined processes for our initial development engines the team is now focused on producing flight engines at rate for Terran R’s aggressive launch manifest.
About the Role:
As a Turbomachinery Engineer you will produce components and assemblies for the fuel and oxidizer turbopumps of the Aeon-R and Aeon-R Vac engines. As a Propulsion Manufacturing Engineer you will own the manufacturing trades and then develop the processes for fabricating testing and delivering critical Aeon-R hardware and subassemblies. You will serve as the main point-of-contact between the manufacturing and design teams as we optimize Aeon-R architecture and scale manufacturing operations. To be successful in this role you should be someone who thrives in ambiguity and is able to drive their own projects to completion. You must have the passion tenacity and resolve to work through challenging issues unique to rocket turbopumps and additively manufactured hardware. We are looking for someone multifaceted and capable of working at the interfaces of design development and analysis of turbomachinery. Ideally you are someone who has come from a fast paced aerospace environment having completed difficult projects while collaborating effectively with multidisciplinary groups.

- Degree in engineering or related technical field and 5+ years of relevant experience
- Experience with turbopump assembly procedures including rotor balancing interference fits clearance checks structural proofing and leak checks
- Manufacturing Process Experience: Fluids Testing Machining Additive
- Knowledge of general assembly and test procedures including tolerance stack-up analysis structural proof testing and pressurized leak checks
- Experience with Siemens NX or other CAD and analysis tools
- Experience with Tooling design including conceptualization modeling and drafting and detailed analysis
Nice to haves but not required:
