Manufacturing Engineer II - Test & Launch Structures

Relativity Space•Cape Canaveral, FL

2d•$104,000 - $156,000•Onsite

About The Position

In this role, you will work closely with Test and Launch design engineers to evaluate and implement optimal manufacturing and integration solutions. You will lead fabrication and integration efforts, including coordination with third-party vendors and full ownership of integration processes. You’ll collaborate with cross-functional teams—including fluids, civil, electrical, and mechanical disciplines—to develop effective integration strategies. You'll also be responsible for selecting techniques and processes that meet design tolerances, while providing input on and approving designs for manufacturability.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in engineering, manufacturing, mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, or a related discipline; or equivalent practical experience.
2+ years of experience supporting manufacturing activities related to structural builds, precision tooling, ground support equipment, or similar hardware.
Experience using CAD software such as NX, Creo, SolidWorks, CATIA, or similar tools.
Experience supporting partial or full life-cycle structural build projects, including lifting and rigging, integration, and proof testing.
Working knowledge of in-field fabrication techniques, such as line boring, match drilling, milling operations, and metrology used to achieve tight tolerances in structural systems.
Demonstrated ability to analyze technical issues, evaluate options, and support effective manufacturing or integration solutions.
Must clear a background check administered by the US government to obtain clearance for on-site work at our government partner location in Cape Canaveral, Florida.

Nice To Haves

3+ years of experience in a partial or full life-cycle design engineering role.
Experience applying AFSPCMAN 91-710 or similar range safety, launch, or aerospace compliance requirements.
