Role
Who you are
- An undergraduate degree in engineering or related field and 5+ years relevant experience
- Experience performing cross-functional engineering and integration for systems subject to complex requirements
- Proven track record of contributing to project completion
- Experience in mechanical engineering design and analysis
Desirable
- Deep understanding of verification and qualification of aerospace structures
- Knowledge of industry standards and their applicable requirements for structures, pressurize hardware, liquid rocket engines, etc. (NASA, Space Force, AIAA)
- Hands-on experience in the design, integration, test, and operation of space vehicles or large complex systems
- History of taking an aerospace product from concept to production
- Strong desire to learn new subjects to solve difficult and often ambiguous challenges
What the job involves
- As a Design Criteria Engineer, you will be responsible for evaluating and guiding engineering designs from concept through qualification and to flight
- In short, you’ll be the glue between our analysis, test, certification, and design teams, helping to connect the technical dots and solve problems across our vehicle programs
- To be successful in this role, you must be able to synthesize productivity for the program from the myriads of abstract problems and constraints facing an in-development launch vehicle. This will require an element of leadership and interfacing between teams
- Engage with vehicle design and partner teams (Integrated Performance, Test, Launch, Materials, NDE, Manufacturing, Supply Chain) to drive optimized designs while shepherding them through the design review process, verification testing, and part release
- Collaborate with responsible engineers throughout the entire design process, ensuring design criteria are properly considered in the development of hardware
- Own and lead Design Criteria Reviews with design teams and responsible engineers
- Provide guidance and approval of qualification and acceptance test campaigns in preparation for flight
- Build, modify, or eliminate engineering tools, process, and standards to support an efficient, product-focused culture for Terran R

Our take
Relativity Space has set out to build humanity’s multiplanetary future with its innovative 3D printed rockets. The company is at the forefront of software-defined manufacturing, combining 3D printing, AI, and autonomous robotics to create the “factory of the future.” By utilizing 3D printing, Relativity has simplified its supply chain, building rockets in less than 60 days that require 100x fewer parts.
The company has completed its flagship Terran 1 rocket and has begun its initial round of test flights. While the first launches technically failed, as the rocket failed to reach orbit, the attempt is still classified as a resounding success as the rocket managed the highest stress state inflicted on the rocket, Max-Q. The company is set to test the Terran 1 rocket again, before moving on to its Terran R rocket. While the company faces competition against SpaceX, Relativity Space’s cheaper and accelerated building process is well set to be a fierce competitor.
