Launch Mechanical Engineer, Relativity Space

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a closely related field
• A minimum of two (2) years of professional engineering experience in structural systems, mechanical design, fluid power systems, or related areas
• Solid understanding of mechanical engineering principles, including structural analysis and fluid systems design
• Proven ability to deliver high-quality results on schedule, including under challenging or ambiguous conditions

Desirable

• The Launch team operates at the intersection of every major aspect of Terran R, from stages and payloads to ground systems, launch, landing, and refurbishment
• The Cape is the only place where you see it all come together, offering a level of exposure and responsibility unmatched elsewhere in the program
• This is where first flights happen, where history is built on top of history, and where the scale of what's underway is unlike anything in modern aerospace
• The mission stays the same, but the work evolves with every milestone: from first launch to reuse, high-cadence operations, and beyond
• If you're looking to define what's next in space launch and write a new playbook, not just repeat what’s already been done, this is where it happens
• Lead mechanical design projects from concept through implementation using sound engineering principles
• Coordinate technical requirements with vehicle and ground support engineering teams
• Develop detailed 3D CAD models, 2D mechanical drawings, fluid system schematics, and electrical system schematics
• Perform structural, dynamic, and system performance analyses using hand calculations and finite element methods (FEM)
• Present design concepts and project updates to engineering and cross-functional teams, emphasizing functionality, feasibility, and safety
