Job description

At Relativity Space, we're building rockets to serve today's needs and tomorrow's breakthroughs. Our Terran R vehicle will deliver customer payloads to orbit, meeting the growing demand for launch capacity. But that's just the start. Achieving commercial success with Terran R will unlock new opportunities to advance science, exploration, and innovation, pioneering progress that reaches beyond the known.

Joining Relativity means becoming part of something where autonomy, ownership, and impact exist at every level.

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 technical rigor go hand in hand, and your voice will help define the stories we're writing together. Now is a unique moment in time where it's early enough to leave your mark on the product, the process, and the culture, but far enough along that Terran R is tangible and picking up momentum.

This role offers the rare chance to see your craftsmanship directly integrated into flight hardware, making an immediate impact. With clear training pathways, you'll have opportunities to advance from operating machines to programming them, growing your career alongside the program.

This is a 1st shift position with a standard schedule of 5am-3:30pm PT, Monday through Friday. Please note that this position is structured around a baseline expectation of a 50-hour workweek, which may include occasional overtime as needed to meet operational goals. 

About the Role: 

  • Full ownership and accountability over several teams of CNC operators
  • Lead the team of people leaders for the Ops floor
  • Support longer-term strategic operations on the shop floor  
  • Mentor and coach your team to develop their personal career goals  

About You:  

  • Experience identifying manufacturing process gaps and analyzing their impact on the production system
  • Experience administrating/delegating daily work assignments to your team
  • Strong interpersonal skills, with the ability to work collaboratively across departments

Nice to haves but not required:  

  • Experience leading high performing teams of people leaders
  • Experience in the manufacture of highly controlled aerospace products
  • Experience implementing key system improvements and measuring success 

At Relativity Space, we are committed to transparency and fairness in our compensation practices. Actual compensation will be determined based on experience, qualifications, and other job-related factors.
