Senior Quality Inspector Production Floor First Shift

About the Team: 

The Reliability team at Relativity Space ensures quality is built into every stage of the Terran R design and production process embedding reliability from the very beginning. The team works directly with design manufacturing test and launch teams to stay close to the hardware understand constraints and proactively shape decisions. As the program moves from development into production and scaled operations this is the time to establish the right processes controls and inspections without slowing progress. The team plays a key role in balancing risk fostering a culture of ownership and making sure speed never comes at the cost of reliability. Success means creating a quality system that scales with the Terran R program and Relativity as a whole.

This is a 1st shift position with a standard schedule of 5:00AM-3:30PM Monday through Friday. Please note that this position is structured around a baseline expectation of a 50-hour workweek which may include occasional overtime as needed to meet operational goals. 

About the Role:

• Conduct thorough inspections (in-process and final) on propulsion components large structures and mechanical assemblies
• Use precision hand tools to perform dimensional inspections on flight hardware
• Identify opportunities for process improvements and contribute to the development and implementation of quality initiatives within the organization
• Diligently review all hardware requirements and determine pass/fail status documenting outcomes and any non-conformances or deviations found 
• Take closeout photos of large integrated assemblies upon completion of final walkdowns
• Use borescopes to perform FOD inspections on machined parts or other assembly cavities

About You:

• 5+ years of quality inspection experience in an aerospace manufacturing environment supporting production hardware
• Expert proficiency with precision hand tools (micrometers calipers bore gages) 
• Proven ability to work closely with design engineering manufacturing and production teams to resolve inspection and quality issues
• Demonstrated ability to perform thorough inspections and ensure strict compliance with quality standards and regulatory requirements
• Clear and effective communicator capable of interfacing with inspectors engineers production personnel and quality stakeholders
• Hands-on experience with MRB processes including identification documentation and disposition of non-conforming hardware along with the ability to stand for extended periods on the production floor climb ladders work in confined spaces and lift up to 25 lbs

Nice to haves but not required:  

• Prior experience inspecting COPVs and/or avionics hardware including electrical connectors harnesses and integrated assemblies
• Demonstrated ability to take initiative lead projects or influence quality improvement efforts without formal authority
• Highly organized and capable of bringing structure to ambiguous or previously undefined environments
• Airframe and Powerplant (A&P) certification

What We Do

Relativity Space is on a mission to better connect humanity to space and the universe beyond our planet. Our medium-to-heavy lift reusable rocket Terran R 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.

Why Work With Us

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.
