Company Overview: 

At Relativity Space, we have two audacious goals: to build the next great commercial launch company with Terran R and to become America’s leading force in additive manufacturing innovation. Both contribute to our long-term vision of creating humanity’s industrial base on Mars, paving the way for interplanetary life to expand the possibilities of the human experience. This journey begins right here on Earth – where we design, build, and fly rockets to deliver customer payloads to orbit. Terran R, our medium-to-heavy lift reusable rocket, fulfills the growing demand for launch capacity, thanks to our iterative approach that accelerates design, testing, and development while minimizing costs. While our groundbreaking research and development in 3D printing pushes the boundaries of large-scale additive manufacturing.

Your journey with us is more than just a job – it’s an opportunity to shape the future of aerospace technology, additive manufacturing, and the human experience alongside a community of passionate, creative individuals. Join us on this extraordinary journey, as we work together to transform our vision into reality.

About the Team: 

The Factory Test team is responsible for all hazardous testing in our Long Beach facilities. We use our breadth of experience and collaborative engineering approach to support everything from very large structural tests to precise valve actuation. To that end, we design, build, and operate all test assets from initial concept to test execution. If you enjoy working on a multi-disciplinary team with a broad mandate and want to put hands-on hardware, then this is the team for you.  

Your application will be reviewed, and if you are chosen to move forward, you will interview with Engineers at Relativity Space. If you are selected for the internship program, you will be placed in one of the below specialized teams:  

• Test Structures Engineering 
• Test Fluids Engineering 
• Test Systems Engineering 

About You: 

• Current undergraduate or graduate student earning degree in aerospace, mechanical, or chemical engineering, or other related field 
• Basic knowledge of one or more of the following areas: fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, structural design, common instrumentation 
• Hands-on project experience strongly desired, but not required. 

Past intern projects (just a few examples!) 

• Tested flight quick disconnects 
• Designed and built a Thrust Vector Controller test stand 
• Designed, built, and operated the Ox bleed disconnect test stand 
• Designed and built a hydrostatic pressurization system for rocket tank testing 
• Designed, integrated, and fabricated infrastructure to help run tests more often and more efficiently 

This position must meet Export Control compliance requirements, therefore a United States Person as defined by 22 C.F.R.  § 120.15 is required.

We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
