Staff Material Planner

About the Team: 

About the Role:

As a Material Planner at Relativity Space you will play a key role in driving the material demand planning process across multiple vehicle missions and programs. You will work cross-functionally to maintain real-time visibility into material supply sources manage material requirements and collaborate with internal teams to ensure seamless material acquisition and delivery. The role requires a proactive individual who is detail-oriented has a deep understanding of supply chain processes and is capable of thriving in a fast-paced high-pressure environment. 

• Partner with Sourcing/Procurement Engineering Manufacturing Integration Test and Launch teams to derive material demand from complex multi-level Bills of Materials (BOMs) and schedules driving material requirement plans and priorities across multiple vehicle missions and programs
• Generate material requirement signals and collaborate with Procurement to develop actionable material acquisition strategies
• Manage the mission-by-mission 'Material Readiness' process providing real-time visibility into material supply and demand while ensuring alignment between Engineering Supply Chain Manufacturing Test and Launch teams
• Develop and implement material allocation strategies/models for constrained or at-risk materials based on company priorities and supply conditions
• Quantify material forecasts that inform Sourcing’s immediate and medium-term material acquisition strategies ensuring the smooth flow of materials through the production lifecycle
• Participate in the development of Materials Requirements Planning (MRP) systems and processes within ERP platforms increasing automation and accuracy in end-to-end planning operations

About You:

• Minimum of 8 years of experience in material planning demand planning fulfillment planning or similar roles in fast-paced manufacturing aerospace or supply chain environments
• Experience working cross-functionally with internal stakeholders such as engineering manufacturing procurement supply chain finance accounting quality and executive management
• Strong understanding of Materials Requirements Planning (MRP) including key inputs (e.g. material attributes demand supply) and how MRP functions within ERP systems like Infor LN SAP or Oracle
• Experience creating and managing demand forecasts and incorporating necessary data inputs for accurate material planning
• Familiarity with BOM (Bill of Materials) reconciliation
• Ability to work under tight deadlines and prioritize tasks in a fast-paced environment
• Knowledge of data analysis tools such as SQL Tableau or advanced Excel techniques
• Experience with New Product Development (NPD) or New Product Introduction (NPI)
• Experience with design release processes and systems
• Background in aerospace start ups or frontier technology industries

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.
