Manufacturing Engineer II, Turbo machinery

Long Beach, California

At Relativity Space, we’re building rockets to serve today’s needs and tomorrow’s breakthroughs. Our Terran R vehicle will deliver customer payloads to orbit, meeting the growing demand for launch capacity. Achieving commercial success with Terran R will unlock new opportunities to advance science, exploration, and innovation.

Joining Relativity means becoming part of something where autonomy, ownership, and impact exist at every level. You’ll collaborate across teams, shape decisions, and see your work come to life in record time.

The Engine Manufacturing team is dedicated to delivering high-performance engines and advancing innovative manufacturing systems that continuously improve cost, quality, and lead time. You’ll actively provide input that shapes new hardware iterations and regularly interface with engineers to make critical decisions for the Aeon R program.

As a Turbo machinery Engineer, you will produce components and assemblies for the fuel and oxidizer turbopumps of the Aeon‑R and Aeon‑R Vac engines. You will own the manufacturing trades and develop processes for fabricating, testing, and delivering critical Aeon‑R hardware and subassemblies. You will serve as the main point of contact between the manufacturing and design teams as we optimize Aeon‑R architecture and scale manufacturing operations.

To be successful, you should thrive in ambiguity and drive your own projects to completion.
