Job Details
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 Launch Mechanical team is responsible for building world class launch facilities to support flights of the Terran R launch vehicle. As part of the team, you will take on the challenge of designing, building, testing, and integrating complex mechanical systems that interface directly with the launch vehicle. You will have the opportunity to be part of a small team of engineers who are responsible for the full engineering cycle on projects that involve static structures, dynamic mechanisms, and control systems using fluid, electrical, and combustion powered sources.

You will have the opportunity to be part of a small team of engineers who are responsible for the full engineering cycle on projects that involve static structures, dynamic mechanisms, and control systems using fluid, electrical, and combustion powered sources.
About the Role:
- Lead mechanical design projects from concept through implementation using sound engineering principles.
- Coordinate technical requirements with vehicle and ground support engineering teams.
- Develop detailed 3D CAD models, 2D mechanical drawings, fluid system schematics, and electrical system schematics.
- Perform structural, dynamic, and system performance analyses using hand calculations and finite element methods (FEM).
- Present design concepts and project updates to engineering and cross-functional teams, emphasizing functionality, feasibility, and safety.
About You:
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a closely related field.
- A minimum of two (2) years of professional engineering experience in structural systems, mechanical design, fluid power systems, or related areas.
- Solid understanding of mechanical engineering principles, including structural analysis and fluid systems design.
- Proven ability to deliver high-quality results on schedule, including under challenging or ambiguous conditions.
Nice to haves, but not required:
- Experience with launch vehicle interface mechanisms, support tooling, or similar systems.
- Familiarity with applicable NASA, DoD, Space Force, or related industry standards.
- Working knowledge of structural materials, manufacturing methods, and fabrication processes.
- Experience designing complex fluid systems (e.g., high-pressure gas, cryogenic, flammable fluids, or hydraulics).
