Propulsion Manufacturing Engineer II, Valves

Long Beach, California

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. This journey begins right here on Earth – where we design, build, and fly rockets to deliver customer payloads to orbit.

About the Team:

The mission of the Engine Manufacturing department is to deliver high-performing products and innovative manufacturing systems while driving continuous improvements in cost, quality, and lead time. We are responsible for providing design feedback on new hardware iterations, pioneering and implementing advanced manufacturing methods and systems, and ultimately delivering engine and vehicle hardware for testing prior to launch.

The Components (Valves) Manufacturing team is responsible for working alongside design and additive teams to develop Terran R valve components.

About the Role:

  • Have end-to-end hardware manufacturing ownership of Terran R valves.
  • Create manufacturing work instructions.
  • Partner with design engineering to lead development strategy for hardware.
  • Lead manufacturing and production strategy for hardware.
  • Design tooling and fixtures for assembly and test.
  • Collaborate with design engineers, test engineers, technicians, and internal machine shop for hardware development, manufacturing, test, and scalability for high volume production.
  • Support component testing through development, qualification, and acceptance.

About You:

  • Bachelor's degree in technical discipline
  • Minimum of 2+ years of building, manufacturing, testing, or troubleshooting hardware in a manufacturing environment
  • Hands-on experience with hardware
  • Experience interfacing with design engineering, manufacturing, and production personnel
  • Experience authoring work instructions to build complex assemblies
  • Experience applying engineering fundamentals in fluids, thermal, and mechanical

Nice to haves but not required:

  • Experience transitioning products from development to high volume production
  • Experience working in a propulsion development program
  • Experience with additive manufacturing and machining

At Relativity Space, we are committed to transparency and fairness in our compensation practices. Actual compensation will be determined based on experience, qualifications, and other job-related factors.

Hiring Range:

$110,000 - $140,000 USD

We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
