About the Team: 

The Vehicle Engineering team at Relativity Space owns the design, analysis, and testing of our launch vehicle including primary and secondary structures (thrust structure, tanks, interstage, and fairing), mechanisms like the grid fins and landing legs, and fluids systems that feed the engines. As a part of this team, you will be given the opportunity to design hardware and conduct tests at our headquarters in Long Beach, CA. Unique to Relativity, you will get to work across many teams to develop world class launch vehicles.

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: 

• Structures
• Mechanisms
• Fluids

Past intern projects (just a few examples!)

• Lead the design and pressure test planning for our 3D printed domes 
• Designed a Brushless DC Servo-Motor
• Developed and executed a test plan for flight hardware, such as a quick disconnect mechanism
• Wrote scripts in python to automate structural test data review and calibration processes
• Created a python generated report of the stage fluids systems
• Completed initial designs of the Terran R raceway lines
• Owned the full-scale separation test for our first nosecone designed to deploy a payload
• Designed flight hardware to support payload instrumentation
• Designed development prints and concepts for attaching Terran R secondary structure to the primary structure

Skills/Competencies we’re looking for:

• Current undergraduate or graduate student earning your degree in aerospace, mechanical, manufacturing, or industrial engineering. 
• 1+ years relevant internship experience preferred, not required 
• Interest in typical manufacturing execution systems and quality management systems. 
• To be successful in this role, you need to be able to thrive in ambiguity, identify problems and quickly resolve them, and provide definition to the previously undefined. 
• You will need to balance a scrappy, get-it-done attitude with a vision for the long-term processes required for scaling and efficiency!
