Company Overview:

At Relativity Space, we have two audacious goals: to build the next great commercial launch company with Terran R and to become America's leading force in additive manufacturing innovation. Both contribute to our long-term vision of creating humanity’s industrial base on Mars, paving the way for interplanetary life to expand the possibilities of the human experience. This journey begins right here on Earth – where we design, build, and fly rockets to deliver customer payloads to orbit. Terran R, our medium-to-heavy lift reusable rocket, fulfills the growing demand for launch capacity, thanks to our iterative approach that accelerates design, testing, and development while minimizing costs. While our groundbreaking research and development in 3D printing pushes the boundaries of large-scale additive manufacturing.

Your journey with us is more than just a job – it’s an opportunity to shape the future of aerospace technology, additive manufacturing, and the human experience alongside a community of passionate, creative individuals. Join us on this extraordinary journey, as we work together to transform our vision into reality.

About the Team:

The Powder Bed Fusion team at Relativity Space develops, evaluates, and optimizes the additive manufacturing process for next-gen liquid propulsion products. This world class team puts in place the machines, materials, and process for us to rapidly iterate and deliver on Aeon-R hardware. The team is crucial to developing and demonstrating groundbreaking technologies, design, and approaches for Terran-R.

About the Role:

As an Process Engineer, you will own and lead the transition of new products and new technology, including 3D printers and post-process equipment to sustaining engineering. You will:

• Support the installation, commissioning, and operation of additive manufacturing equipment
• Perform process validations (IQ/OQ/PQ)
• Develop and maintain standard operating procedures, work instructions, checklists, and safety protocols for additive manufacturing, including 3D printers
• Be responsible for establishing of process flow to meet production rate and quality goals
• Timely execute powder bed fusion 3D printing activities to support daily production
• Communicate roadblocks to team leaders and technicians promptly to appropriately react, contain, and recover
• Resolve non-conformances and perform root cause following through with corrective actions
• Track additive machines utilization and drive reductions in planned and unplanned downtime
• Perform manufacturing ROI and cost trade analysis optimizing machine capital and process improvements
• Develop and implement tooling and statistical process control into production processes to further improve reliability and reduce cost and lead time

About You:

• BS Degree in Engineering (or relevant technical discipline)
• Experience working on projects relating to manufacturing or additive manufacturing
• Exposure to ISO AS9100/ISO9000, medical device manufacturing environment, or similar

Nice to haves but not required:

• Six-Sigma Greenbelt, SPC, & DOE
• Knowledge of lean manufacturing practices, such as, 5S or Six Sigma
• Experience working with powderbed fusion metal printing

Relativity Space offers competitive salary and equity, a generous vacation policy, an annual L&D stipend and more!
