Job description
Company Overview:
At Relativity Space, we have two audacious goals: to build the next great commercial launch company with Terran R and to become America's leading force in additive manufacturing innovation. Both contribute to our long-term vision of creating humanity’s industrial base on Mars, paving the way for interplanetary life to expand the possibilities of the human experience. This journey begins right here on Earth – where we design, build, and fly rockets to deliver customer payloads to orbit. Terran R, our medium-to-heavy lift reusable rocket, fulfills the growing demand for launch capacity, thanks to our iterative approach that accelerates design, testing, and development while minimizing costs. While our groundbreaking research and development in 3D printing pushes the boundaries of large-scale additive manufacturing.
Your journey with us is more than just a job – it’s an opportunity to shape the future of aerospace technology, additive manufacturing, and the human experience alongside a community of passionate, creative individuals. Join us on this extraordinary journey, as we work together to transform our vision into reality.
Team:
The Factory Test team is responsible for all hazardous testing in our Long Beach facilities.

- Investigate and solve reliability issues presented in tests.
- Follow all safety standards and policies ensuring a safe working environment, including the use of personal protective equipment.
What you need to know:
You should have extensive experience operating with minimal oversight in high-consequence environments. You will also need the following:
- High school diploma or GED required.
- Developmental test experience, static, dynamic or cryogenic.
- Demonstrated experience building and operating complicated fluid or mechanical systems.
- Proficiency with office software (Excel, Word, Outlook)
- Ability to recognize hazardous situations and implement corrective actions.
- Desire to teach and mentor less experienced team members.
- Ability to precisely plan an activity, then execute according to that plan with minimal changes.
- Experience operating hazardous equipment with multiple energy sources.
Nice to haves but not required:
- Strain gage application techniques.
- Familiarity with version control software (GIT, SVN).
- Experience with test article instrumentation.
- Proficient in control of hazardous energy (Lock Out Tag Out) procedures.
- Self-motivated, have the ability to work for long periods without direct supervision, stay on task, and seek help when needed.
- No previous aerospace experience is required for this position
