About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled Propulsion Integration Engineer to join our team at Relativity Space. As a key member of our engine manufacturing department, you will be responsible for developing and implementing processes for the builds of major Aeon-R subassemblies and engine integration.

With a focus on manufacturability, you will serve as the main point-of-contact between the manufacturing and design teams, ensuring that as-built hardware meets all aspects of the intended design. You will also project manage a wide variety of hardware in varying states of their manufacturing lifecycle.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Developing processes and procedures for post-processing of 3D printed parts
  • Recommending design adaptations to improve reliability and throughput
  • Investigating and resolving hardware non-conformances
  • Driving failure investigation efforts and root cause analysis
  • Implementing corrective actions

We are looking for a talented engineer with a strong background in propulsion systems and a passion for innovation. If you are a motivated and detail-oriented individual with excellent communication skills, we encourage you to apply.

About You

To be successful in this role, you will need:

  • A degree in engineering or a related technical field
  • 6+ years of relevant experience in propulsion systems engineering
  • Ability to effectively investigate, resolve and screen hardware non-conformances
  • Knowledge of general assembly and test procedures, including tolerance stack-up analysis, structural proof testing and pressurized leak checks
  • Experience with GD&T, CAD, and analysis tools including tool design

Nice to have but not required:

  • Experience working in a propulsion development program
  • Familiarity with a fast-paced, high-mix manufacturing environment, working hands-on with hardware
  • Experience in Additive Manufacturing, Subtractive Manufacturing, Machining, and associate precision inspection techniques
  • Experience working with and managing vendors and external suppliers to get parts made quickly and reliably
