Job Description
Job Description
At Relativity Space, we're building rockets to serve today's needs and tomorrow's breakthroughs. Our Terran R vehicle will deliver customer payloads to orbit, meeting the growing demand for launch capacity. But that's just the start. Achieving commercial success with Terran R will unlock new opportunities to advance science, exploration, and innovation, pioneering progress that reaches beyond the known.
Joining Relativity means becoming part of something where autonomy, ownership, and impact exist at every level. Here, you're not just executing tasks; you're solving problems that haven't been solved before, helping develop a rocket, a factory, and a business from the ground up. Whether you're in propulsion, manufacturing, software, avionics, or a corporate function, you'll collaborate across teams, shape decisions, and see your work come to life in record time. Relativity is a place where creativity and technical rigor go hand in hand, and your voice will help define the stories we're writing together. Now is a unique moment in time where it's early enough to leave your mark on the product, the process, and the culture, but far enough along that Terran R is tangible and picking up momentum. The most meaningful work of your career is waiting. Join us.
About the Team:
The Reliability team at Relativity Space ensures quality is built into every stage of the Terran R design and production process, embedding reliability from the very beginning. The team works directly with design, manufacturing, test, and launch teams to stay close to the hardware, understand constraints, and proactively shape decisions. As the program moves from development into production and scaled operations, this is the time to establish the right processes, controls, and inspections without slowing progress. The team plays a key role in balancing risk, fostering a culture of ownership, and making sure speed never comes at the cost of reliability. Success means creating a quality system that scales with the Terran R program and Relativity as a whole.
This is a 1st shift position with a standard schedule of 5:00AM-3:30PM, Monday through Friday. Please note that this position is structured around a baseline expectation of a 50-hour workweek, which may include occasional overtime as needed to meet operational goals.
About the Role:
- Conduct thorough inspections (in-process and final) on propulsion components, large structures and mechanical assemblies
- Use precision hand tools to perform dimensional inspections on flight hardware
- Identify opportunities for process improvements and contribute to the development and implementation of quality initiatives within the organization
- Diligently review all hardware requirements and determine pass/fail status, documenting outcomes and any non-conformances or deviations found
- Take closeout photos of large integrated assemblies upon completion of final walkdowns
- Use borescopes to perform FOD inspections on machined parts or other assembly cavities
About You:
- 5+ years of quality inspection experience in an aerospace manufacturing environment, supporting production hardware
- Expert proficiency with precision hand tools (micrometers, calipers, bore gages)
- Proven ability to work closely with design engineering, manufacturing, and production teams to resolve inspection and quality issues
- Demonstrated ability to perform thorough inspections and ensure strict compliance with quality standards and regulatory requirements
- Clear and effective communicator, capable of interfacing with inspectors, engineers, production personnel, and quality stakeholders
- Hands-on experience with MRB processes, including identification, documentation, and disposition of non-conforming hardware, along with the ability to stand for extended periods on the production floor, climb ladders, work in confined spaces, and lift up to 25 lbs
Nice to haves but not required:
- Prior experience inspecting COPVs and/or avionics hardware, including electrical connectors, harnesses, and integrated assemblies
- Demonstrated ability to take initiative, lead projects, or influence quality improvement efforts without formal authority
- Highly organized and capable of bringing structure to ambiguous or previously undefined environments
- Airframe and Powerplant (A&P) certification
