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:

• Act as primary Level 2 point-of-contact for CR/DR/CT inspection development.
• Perform digital and computed radiographic inspections in cabinet, vault, and field settings.
• Evaluation of Radiographic images for quality in accordance with specific acceptance criteria.
• Detailed and comprehensive documentation/reporting of radiographic image analysis results.
• Interface with outside stakeholders regarding inspection results and future possibilities.
• Develop and publish part-specific NDE techniques for a variety of complex parts.
• Plan and program automated digital RT inspections.
• Work with vendors to troubleshoot and maintain radiographic equipment.
• In depth comprehension and effective application of relevant NDE inspection plans, procedures, and techniques.

About You:

• Proof of NDE Classroom Training in Non-Film Radiography.
• Previous certification in non-film radiography (CR/DR) per NAS 410, SNT-TC-1A or equivalent and documentation of same. (be prepared to provide these records prior to interview).
• Extensive (5+ years) and verifiable experience performing non-film RT inspections.
• Extensive and verifiable experience evaluating radiographs for quality in accordance with various acceptance criteria of which 1-2 years should be direct experience evaluating digital images.
• This experience should be specific to weld quality, casting/forging quality, and/or base material evaluation in aerospace or other highly regulated industry such as nuclear, oil & gas or power generation.  Profile shots in a refinery or shut down setting do not meet the above requirement.
• Conventional Film Radiography experience (3 years minimum)
• Experience reading and interpreting engineering work instructions and drawings.
• Strong computer skills and familiarity with Microsoft applications including Word, PowerPoint, Excel, etc.

Nice to haves but not required: 

• Experience with inspection of additively manufactured materials
• Experience inspecting various materials and geometries
• Knowledge of industry standards (NASA, AMS, AWS/ASME, ASTM, etc.)
• Experience with qualification of NDE inspection techniques/procedures in one or more volumetric methods
• Film or RT image interpretation classroom training.
• Experience with CAD
• Experience Auditing 3^rd Party NDE Vendors
• Experience with QA/QC and/or Lean Manufacturing concepts and applications.
