Supervisor Propulsion Technicians

About the Team:

The engine manufacturing department's mission is to product high performing products & manufacturing systems by continuously innovating on cost quality and lead time. Through cross-functional collaboration high levels of accountability and a focus on safety we support the Terran R program. We are responsible for providing design feedback on new hardware iterations developing new manufacturing methods and systems and ultimately building engine and vehicle hardware for testing prior to our first launch. Our team's highlights from the last 6 months include the MDC of the first Aeon-R engine completing thousands of hours of PBF printing building and testing over 50 valves of 26 different iterations and implementing large scale process improvements along the way. 

About the Role:

As a Propulsion Supervisor you will be on the front line of the assembly and testing of the Aeon-R engine components sub-assemblies and engines. This is a unique opportunity to lead an experienced technical team and build the skills necessary to create and refine robust component and engine building processes. You will be building a team of strong leaders and individual contributors alike. You will also be accountable to organizational production goals and ensuring the continuous improvement of the production system. This role will be focused on leading team members through several in-house processes and support resources such as precision cleaning hydrostatic proof testing flow testing component assembly and test and engine assembly. 

About You:

• 5+ years experience working on engines with a primary focus on engine component builds.
• 5+ years familiarity with electrical and mechanical system integration.
• 3+ years experience leading high performing teams.
• 3+ years experience identifying manufacturing process gaps and analyzing their impact on the production system.
• 3+ years experience administrating/delegating daily work assignments to your team.
• 3+ years experience maintaining work centers in accordance with company & manufacturing best practices. 

Nice to haves but not required:  

• 3+ years familiarity with 5S manufacturing principles.
• 3+ years familiarity with Lean Manufacturing principles.
• 3+ years experience transitioning from development into high-volume production 

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.
