About the Team: 

The Manufacturing team at Relativity Space is currently deep in manufacturing trades and process development for Terran R, our next generation rocket. This team has a wide variety of responsibilities—from determining the most efficient factory floor layout, to developing and implementing complex tooling and processes, and even interfacing with the vehicle engineering team to heavily influence the design of the rocket. 

The Mechanical Engineers are responsible for the design and development of tools and equipment that support manufacturing. The Mechanical Engineering team brings a high level of innovation and ingenuity into the design process, as they are tasked with building out a highly-automated Production facility. 

About the Role:

• Develop high quality development and production tooling for the Terran vehicle and Aeon engine programs
• Capable of integrating concepts and principles of mechanical design and analysis of several different projects in a fast-paced environment - projects will vary in size and scale
• Ability to interpret and apply sound design and drafting standards (ASME Y14.5) in creating tooling drawing definitions
• Handle a wide range of technical problems and familiar with all types of material handling, assembly fixtures, off-loaders, rotisseries, test fixtures, structural weldments, environmental chambers, and custom machines
• Close collaboration with component designers, manufacturing engineers, and integration engineering to achieve the best possible cradle to grave metrics (safety, cost, quality, cycle time, delivery, reliability, life, and maintenance/refurbishment)
• Manage projects including vendor selection, fabrication, inspection, equipment installation, and commissioning of tooling 

About You:

• Bachelor of Science degree in manufacturing engineering, mechanical engineering or equivalent
• 10+ years of work or project experience with design, build, and commissioning of tooling and fixtures for manufacturing, assembly and test
• Experience using CAD and FEA-based analysis software (NX and ANSYS Workbench preferred) for structural applications

Nice to haves but not required: 

• Solid understanding of common manufacturing materials, GD&T, and tolerance/stack-up analysis 
• Solid understanding of common manufacturing processes and machines including mills, lathes, welding, sheet-metal bending, lifting/rigging, assembly, inspection, etc. 
• Experience with Siemens NX and Teamcenter PLM software
• Experience with ANSYS Workbench, FEMAP Pre/Post processing, NASTRAN Solver, NX Advance Simulation, Mechanica, etc.
