Job description

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.

About the Team:

The mission of the Machine Shop is to deliver high-precision, high-quality machined components while pioneering advanced manufacturing methods to support the rapid development and production of Terran-R’s reusable launch system. Through cross-functional collaboration, rigorous quality control, and a commitment to continuous improvement, we play a vital role in accelerating aerospace innovation.

We are responsible for machining critical flight hardware, optimizing manufacturing processes, and ensuring efficiency, reliability, and scalability in high-rate production. Over the past year, the Machine Shop team has successfully developed and refined machining processes for complex propulsion components. Now, we are entering a critical phase: scaling our machining operations to support full-rate vehicle production and enable Terran-R’s first launch to orbit.

About the Role:

Maintain and organize the tool crib, ensuring tools are properly labeled, stored, and accounted for
Apply 5S methodology to create an efficient and orderly workspace
Accurately update and maintain inventory records using computerized systems
Supply production teams with required tooling and deliver setups to designated locations
Inspect incoming tools for defects, wear, or damage, reporting issues as needed
Manage spare tools and replacements, keeping shrink fit machines and tool setters in optimal condition

About You:

3+ years of experience in tool inventory control, factory/production environments, or completion of machining certification.
Experience with precision measuring tools such as micrometers, calipers, profilometers, and borescopes.
Ability to read and interpret technical drawings, blueprints, and manufacturer diagrams.
Strong attention to detail with a quality-focused mindset.
Familiarity with tool setting equipment, including hydraulic and shrink fit systems.
Knowledge of cutting tools, including geometry, coatings, wear assessment, and cutting Inconel.
Experience maintaining Total Indicator Runout (TIR) during tool setup.

Nice to haves but not required:

Understanding of mechanics, mathematics, and hand tools
