Description For Senior Electro-Mechanical Engineer

At Relativity Space, we're on a mission to revolutionize the aerospace industry through innovative rocket design and advanced additive manufacturing. As a Senior Electro-Mechanical Engineer, you'll play a crucial role in designing and developing mechanisms for our Terran R rocket, including stage separation, payload deployment, aero control features, and landing gear. You'll work collaboratively with various teams, leveraging our additive manufacturing process to create cutting-edge solutions.

Your responsibilities will include:

  1. Designing and testing Terran R stage separation and fairing deployment systems
  2. Conceptualizing innovative solutions for landing gear and aero surfaces actuation
  3. Defining design criteria and subsystem requirements
  4. Reviewing static and dynamic load inputs, material properties, and manufacturing processes
  5. Conducting trade studies on different mechanism design concepts and presenting to leadership

To excel in this role, you should be self-motivated, thrive in ambiguity, and have the ability to lead projects to completion. You'll work closely with vehicle design, test, loads, additive, and manufacturing teams to integrate subsystems within our printed primary structure.

Join us in our mission to create humanity's industrial base on Mars and expand the possibilities of the human experience. This is more than just a job – it's an opportunity to shape the future of aerospace technology and additive manufacturing alongside a passionate team of innovators.

Relativity Space offers competitive compensation, including salary and equity, generous PTO and sick leave, parental leave, and an annual learning and development stipend. We are committed to diversity and do not discriminate based on race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.

If you're ready to take on this exciting challenge and contribute to the next generation of space exploration, we want to hear from you!
