Employers are more likely to interview you if you match these preferences:

Degree
Experience
Requirements
  • Bachelor’s degree in engineering, supply chain/operations management, business, or 5 years of demand planning, material planning, or master scheduling experience in lieu of a degree.
  • 1+ years of experience in material planning, demand planning, master scheduling, production control, supply chain, or manufacturing within a fast-paced environment.
  • Experience working cross-functionally with internal stakeholders, including but not limited to: engineering design, manufacturing, integration, materials and processing, finance, accounting, quality, and executive management.
  • Familiarity with Materials Requirements Planning (MRP) and requisite inputs (E.g., Material Attributes, Demand, Supply, and MRP Environment Inputs)
  • Proficient with enterprise applications (i.e., PLM, ERP, MES) and data analysis applications/tools (i.e., MS Excel).
  • Experience working with large BOMs and understanding how they integrate with overall systems (ERP/MRP/MES).
Responsibilities
  • Partner with Procurement, Engineering, Manufacturing, Production Control, Integration, Test, and Launch organizations to derive material demand from complex multilevel Bill of Materials (BOMs) and schedules that will drive material requirement plans and priorities across multiple vehicle missions and programs.
  • Generate material requirement signals within MRP and partner with supply chain, production control, and material management personnel to develop and action material acquisition strategies.
  • Manage the mission-by-mission ‘Clear to Build’ process, providing accurate and real-time visibility into material supply & demand while ensuring alignment between Engineering, Supply Chain and Manufacturing, Test, and Launch.
  • Develop material allocation strategies/models for constrained or at-risk materials based on company priorities and supply conditions.
  • Quantify material forecasts that will inform Sourcing’s immediate- and medium-term material acquisition strategies.
  • Participate in the development of Materials Requirements Planning (MRP) systems and processes within Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) that will ultimately increase automation and fidelity of end-to-end planning operations.
Desired Qualifications
  • Masters degree in engineering, business administration, supply chain/operations management, or similar.
  • Proficient in SQL or advanced competency in MS Excel.
  • Experience in aerospace or automotive manufacturing.
  • Prior experience in a rapid growth environment.

Relativity Space focuses on producing and launching 3D printed reusable rockets, catering to the growing demand for space infrastructure. Their main product, the Terran R, is designed to launch various payloads into space, including satellites and future manned missions. The rockets are made using advanced 3D printing techniques, which simplify the manufacturing process, lower costs, and reduce production time. This approach allows Relativity Space to offer a competitive alternative in the aerospace market. Unlike traditional rocket manufacturers, their emphasis on reusability and innovative designs sets them apart. The company's goal is to provide efficient and cost-effective launch services, as demonstrated by their successful launch of the Terran 1, the largest 3D printed object in space.
