Factory Test Engineer Intern

At Relativity Space,we’rebuilding 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. Butthat’sjust the start. Achieving commercial success with Terran R will unlock new opportunities to advance science, exploration, and innovation, pioneering progress that reaches beyond the known.

Joining Relativity means becoming part of something where autonomy, ownership, and impact exist at every level. Here,you'renot just executing tasks;you'resolving problems thathaven’tbeen solved before, helping develop a rocket, a factory, and a business from the ground up. Whether you’rein propulsion, manufacturing, software, avionics, or a corporate function,you’ll collaborate across teams, shape decisions, and see your work come to life in record time. Relativity is a place where creativity and technical rigor go hand in hand, and your voice will help define the storieswe’rewriting together.

Now is a unique moment in timewhereit’searly enough to leave your mark on the product, the process, and the culture, but far enough along that Terran R is tangible and picking up momentum. The most meaningful work of your career is waiting. Join us.

The Factory Test team designs, builds, andoperatesthe infrastructure needed to test nearly everypart of Terran R right here at our headquarters in Long Beach, CA. This centralized approach provides engineers and technicians with exposure to the entire product lifecycle across a wide range of part sizes and complexities. The scope and scale are significant, with test stands capable of handling millions of pounds of force.

Team members lead multiple projects in parallel, avoiding silos and gaining broad technical experience without needing a background in aerospace. With high-impact campaigns ahead, including thrust structure and stage 2 testing, now is the time to join. Youwon’tjust execute, butyou’llhelp shape andscalethe test infrastructurerequiredto meet the demands of a rapidly growing launch program.

The Factory Test teamis responsible forall hazardous testing in our Long Beach facilities. We use our breadth of experience and collaborative engineering approach to support everything fromvery large structural tests to precise valve actuation. To that end, we design, build, andoperateall test assets frominitialconcept to test execution as part of a multi-disciplinary team.
