Company Overview:

A rocket company at the core, Relativity Space is on a mission to become the next great commercial launch company. Meeting the needs of a growing demand for space infrastructure, our rockets will revolutionize how we connect and communicate on Earth by getting satellites to space. We have developed a vertically integrated technology platform in which we leverage additive manufacturing, artificial intelligence, and autonomous robotics to 3D print rockets. Our unique approach enables rapid product iteration, allowing us to push the boundaries of what's possible today and unlock the full potential of 3D printing for tomorrow. Join us on this extraordinary journey, as we work together to transform our vision into reality.

Team:

The components test team is responsible for development and acceptance testing of engine and vehicle components in Long Beach, CA. We leverage our technical skills and collaborative engineering approach to support flight hardware testing and asset development. We design, build, and operate all test assets from initial concept to test execution. If you enjoy working on a multi-disciplinary team with a broad mandate and want to put hands-on hardware, then this is the team for you.

What you’ll do:

As a Propulsion Components Test Engineer, you will be responsible for the design, analysis, operation, execution, and documentation of pneumatic, hydraulic, thermal/cryogenic, electromechanical, and dynamics (shock & vibration) testing in support of the development, qualification, and recurring acceptance of flight hardware for the Aeon-R and Terran-R programs. You will create, commission, iterate, and refine test equipment, processes, and documentation to support scaled production. You will work in close partnership with design engineers, manufacturing engineers, and technicians to safely execute spaceflight test campaigns, accelerate developmental learnings, and validate hardware flight readiness.

Task Examples:

• Design test systems including fluid, mechanical, and electrical components
• Commission new test assets and systems
• Plan, create, modify, and optimize test sequences, procedures, and operational processes to support first-article development and transition to high-volume production
• Identify and implement new test and tooling solutions
• Analyze test results and generate reportable deliverables

What you need to know:

• Bachelor's degree in engineering discipline or equivalent.
• 2+ years of experience designing, building, and commissioning complex fluid systems.
  • Prior aerospace experience is NOT required.
• Strong engineering fundamentals in fluids, thermal, mechanical, and electrical

Nice to haves but not required:

• In-depth knowledge and experience with test automation.
• Experience operating cryogenic fluid systems.
• In-depth knowledge of rocket engine components.
• In-depth knowledge of data acquisition and control systems.
• Experience transitioning from development setting into high-volume production.
• Experience planning and executing capital equipment upgrades and optimization.
