This is a unique opportunity to join the Propulsion Engineering team at Relativity Space, a pioneering company in additive manufacturing and aerospace technology. As a Senior Propulsion Test Engineer, you will play a critical role in the development and testing of our Aeon R engine systems.
Responsibilities will include:
- Developing and executing test plans for propulsion test articles, including combustion devices, valves, and heat exchangers
- Collaborating with product owners to design and test new engine subsystems
- Leading exploratory operations to evaluate test hardware behavior and support continuous engine development and certification
- Supporting engine subsystem troubleshooting and partner team product investigations
- Participating in stage test and flight campaigns as the vehicle development program progresses
This role requires a strong background in fluid mechanics and thermodynamics, as well as experience with test operations environments. A bachelor's degree in a science, engineering, technology, or mathematics field is required, along with 5+ years of relevant experience in a complex engineering system development and/or test environment.
Relativity Space offers a competitive salary and equity package, as well as a generous PTO and sick leave policy, parental leave, and an annual learning and development stipend. We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company.
About the TeamThe Propulsion Engineering team at Relativity Space is responsible for designing and testing engines that will power the Terran R launch vehicle. We own the design from concept through successful launch and reuse, and work closely with partner teams to manufacture, test, and integrate those engines.
We are a fast-paced and dynamic team that is passionate about innovation and pushing the boundaries of what is possible. If you are a motivated and experienced engineer looking for a new challenge, we encourage you to apply for this exciting opportunity.
