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

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

Skills/Competencies we’re looking for:

• 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.
