Tool Builder Specialist II

About the Team:  

The Tooling and Factory Automation team sits at the intersection of design manufacturing and automation making everything from large-scale structural fixtures to small tools that directly enable Terran R’s production. As a design group embedded within the manufacturing organization we dig deep into the needs of our internal partners to understand root problems propose solutions and deliver hardware to help build faster scale smarter and work better. The team is also at the forefront of Relativity’s growing factory automation efforts an increasingly critical part of scaling production of Terran R at existing and future facilities. You’ll have the autonomy to make decisions field solutions and see them in action on the factory floor. Ultimately you’re not just designing tools or automated processes; you’re defining how rockets and factories get built.

About the Role: 

• Plan coordinate and execute development fabrication work based off assembly and part drawings
• Collaborate with partner teams when tooling projects need specialized resources
• Ensure adherence to project schedules and provide updates to stakeholders.
• Apply strong knowledge of machining and fabrication fundamentals to enable safe efficient and repeatable outcomes in a dynamic development environment
• Proactively identify design risks fabrication constraints and process inefficiencies using hands-on expertise and sound judgment to recommend design adjustments.
• Perform all work in accordance with company policies safety requirements and quality standards 

About You: 

• 5+ years of relevant experience fabricating tooling or maintaining equipment
• Knowledge of common manufacturing materials GD&T and understanding of technical drawings 
• Familiarity with manufacturing processes and machines (e.g. mills lathes welding sheet-metal bending).

Nice to haves but not required:  

• Knowledge of fixture design and stack-ups analysis  

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.
