Lead, Components Engineering (Valves)

<div class="content-intro"><p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">At Relativity Space, we’re building rockets to serve today’s needs and tomorrow’s breakthroughs. Our&nbsp;Terran R vehicle will deliver customer payloads to orbit, meeting the growing demand for launch&nbsp;capacity. But that’s just the start. Achieving commercial success with Terran R will unlock new&nbsp;opportunities to advance science, exploration, and innovation, pioneering progress that reaches beyond&nbsp;the known.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Joining Relativity means becoming part of something where autonomy, ownership, and impact exist at every level. Here, you're not just executing tasks; you're solving problems that haven’t been solved before, helping develop a rocket, a factory, and a business from the ground up. Whether you’re in propulsion, manufacturing, software, avionics, or a corporate function, you’ll collaborate across teams, shape decisions, and see your work come to life in record time. Relativity is a place where creativity and </span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">technical rigor go hand in hand, and your voice will help define the stories we’re writing together. Now&nbsp;is a unique moment in time where it’s early enough to leave your mark on the product, the process, and&nbsp;the culture, but far enough along that Terran R is tangible and picking up momentum. The most&nbsp;meaningful work of your career is waiting. Join us.</span></p></div><p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><strong><span data-contrast="none">About the Team:&nbsp;</span></strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">The Components team is responsible for all fluid control devices across Terran R, from propulsion to stage systems, enabling a more integrated and informed design approach. Engineers own every aspect of multiple products and integrate with partner teams such as Propulsion, Avionics, and Stage Fluids to ensure their components function seamlessly within the scope of the broader vehicle. With design, manufacturing, and test assets co-located, you’ll see firsthand how your designs perform and can iterate quickly based on real world data. We’re continuously advancing our products, including developing novel clean-sheet designs for upcoming vehicle and engine upgrades, while creatively improving existing designs to enhance performance, reliability, and manufacturability.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><strong><span data-contrast="none">About the Role:</span></strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">In this role you will lead a team of engineers working on valves and accompanying systems through design, development, testing, and production. This role involves a range of skillsets: design, analysis (thermodynamics, structures, fluids, electrical), manufacturing, test, project management, communication, and leadership. You will work across teams and departments and take ownership of projects of your creation. To be successful in this role, you should be someone who thrives in ambiguity and be capable of leading highly technical and collaborative projects to completion with minimal oversight. Along with these high expectations, this position will involve recruiting, career development, and mentoring engineers.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><strong><span data-contrast="none">About You:</span></strong></span></p> <ul class="p-rich_text_list p-rich_text_list__bullet p-rich_text_list--nested" data-stringify-type="unordered-list" data-list-tree="true" data-indent="0" data-border="0"> <li style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;" data-stringify-indent="0" data-stringify-border="0"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Bachelor's degree in an engineering field</span></li> <li style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;" data-stringify-indent="0" data-stringify-border="0"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">5+ years of experience in fluid control devices, valves and/or mechanisms design and analysis</span></li> <li style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;" data-stringify-indent="0" data-stringify-border="0"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Proven leadership experience, demonstrated through mentoring, managing complex interdisciplinary projects, supporting continuous improvement of the people around you or participating in growing your team through hiring</span></li> <li style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;" data-stringify-indent="0" data-stringify-border="0"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Experience applying engineering fundamentals in thermodynamics, structures, and fluids</span></li> <li style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;" data-stringify-indent="0" data-stringify-border="0"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Hands-on experience with fluids and structural development testing and manufacturing</span></li> <li style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;" data-stringify-indent="0" data-stringify-border="0"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Experience with ownership of projects from school or work experience</span></li> <li style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;" data-stringify-indent="0" data-stringify-border="0"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Experience leading projects or small teams</span></li> </ul> <p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><strong><span data-contrast="none">Nice to haves but not required:&nbsp;</span></strong><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}">&nbsp;</span></span></p> <ul class="p-rich_text_list p-rich_text_list__bullet p-rich_text_list--nested" data-stringify-type="unordered-list" data-list-tree="true" data-indent="0" data-border="0"> <li style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;" data-stringify-indent="0" data-stringify-border="0"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">5+ years relevant experience, preferably in a rocket engine development and/or test environment</span></li> <li style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;" data-stringify-indent="0" data-stringify-border="0"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Experience with the design and manufacturing process of valves, regulators, and actuators, motors, solenoids</span></li> <li style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;" data-stringify-indent="0" data-stringify-border="0"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Experience with design and testing of cryogenic systems and components</span></li> <li style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;" data-stringify-indent="0" data-stringify-border="0"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Exposure and knowledge in powder bed additive manufacturing</span></li> <li style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;" data-stringify-indent="0" data-stringify-border="0"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">We believe varied perspectives &amp; backgrounds strengthen our team.
