Senior Structures Technician, 1st Shift

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 Manufacturing team at Relativity Space is currently deep in manufacturing trades and process development for Terran R, our next generation, reuseable rocket. This team has a wide variety of responsibilities—from determining the most efficient factory floor layout, to developing and implementing complex tooling and processes, and even interfacing with the vehicle engineering team to heavily influence the design of the rocket. Unique to Relativity, you will get to work across many teams to iterate and support Relativity's first-of-its-kind 3D printing software and robotics technology. 

The Manufacturing Structure Technician team will play a crucial role in the development and assembly of Terran R. The Manufacturing Structure Technician team is responsible for various drilling and bonding operations on all primary structures of the vehicle. This will include systems like Drilling and PFD operations, Metal rework, Specialty fastening systems, Structural/Specialty epoxy adhesives, Tool fixturing, and critical lift operations. This position requires basic mechanical ability and basic knowledge of aerospace materials, structural processes, and a commitment to excellence and quality in the aerospace industry. 

This is a 1st shift position. Hours: 6:00am-2:30pm PT.

About the Role: 

• Follow work instructions to successfully complete drilling, fastening, and bonding operations, demonstrating attention to detail 
• Demonstrate a good understanding of drilling equipment, tool fixturing and proper steps to take while performing an operation.  
• Modify, repair, assemble, and install flight hardware and components, potentially in confined spaces and at heights. 
• Demonstrate a good understanding of various fastener applications and show ability to perform installations.  
• Maintain an organized work area and follow 5S guidelines, prioritizing quality in a dynamic, fast-paced, work e
