Manufacturing Engineer II, Turbomachinery

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. 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.

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 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. Through cross-functional collaboration, high levels of accountability, and a focus on safety, we play a crucial role in building our reusable rocket, Terran-R. 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.

About the Role:

  • Have end-to-end hardware manufacturing ownership of Terran R turbopumps in a fast-paced, and sometimes ambiguous development environment.
  • Create constantly improving manufacturing work instructions and lead manufacturing and production strategy for hardware.
  • Investigate and resolve hardware non-conformances and drive implementation of corrective actions.
  • 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.
  • Work closely with supply chain team to procure turbomachinery hardware and bring down program costs.

About You:

  • Bachelor's degree in technical discipline and a minimum of 3+ years' experience building, manufacturing, testing, or troubleshooting turbomachinery hardware in a manufacturing environment.
  • Project Management: Experience owning complex technical projects collaborating with design engineering, manufacturing, and production personnel.
  • Manufacturing Process Experience: Turbomachinery balance, Machining, Additive, Assembly Integration.
  • Ability to effectively investigate and resolve hardware non-conformances and drive implementation of corrective actions.
  • Ability to work with and train technicians in a hands-on hardware environment, writing work instructions, and process plans for complex assemblies.
  • Proficiency with tooling design using Siemens NX or other CAD tools, including conceptualization, modeling and drafting, and detailed analysis.

Nice to haves but not required:

  • Experience transitioning products from development to high volume production.
  • Experience with Vendor / Supplier Management.
  • Experience in start-up environment.
  • Experience writing formal process specifications and manufacturing standards.

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:

$112,000 - $143,000 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.
