## About the role

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.

## What they're looking for

- Degree in engineering or a related technical field, with 2+ years of hands-on experience building and testing hardware in a manufacturing or integration environment
- Skilled at investigating hardware issues, resolving non-conformances, and driving root cause analysis with corrective actions implemented effectively
- Familiar with general assembly and test procedures, including tolerance stack-up analysis, structural proof testing, and pressurized leak checks
- Comfortable interfacing across design, manufacturing, supply chain, and test teams to ensure hardware quality and schedule alignment
- Self-starter who can define and roll out new processes from scratch, working collaboratively with technicians, engineers, and external vendors
