Propulsion Engineer I, Combustion Devices

At Relativity Space were building rockets to serve todays needs and tomorrows breakthroughs. OurTerran R vehicle will deliver customer payloads to orbit meeting the growing demand for launchcapacity. But thats just the start. Achieving commercial success with Terran R will unlock newopportunities to advance science exploration and innovation pioneering progress that reaches beyondthe known.

Joining Relativity means becoming part of something where autonomy ownership and impact exist at every level. Here youre not just executing tasks; youre solving problems that havent been solved before helping develop a rocket a factory and a business from the ground up. Whether youre in propulsion manufacturing software avionics or a corporate function youll 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 were writing together. Nowis a unique moment in time where its early enough to leave your mark on the product the process andthe culture but far enough along that Terran R is tangible and picking up momentum. The mostmeaningful work of your career is waiting. Join us.

About the Team:

The Propulsion team at Relativity is focused on developing and delivering highly performant and manufacturable engines for Terran R. Engineers are responsible for the entire lifecycle of their parts from initial design through production to qualification and flight. The team fosters a culture of bottoms-up decision-making free from technical gatekeeping where ownership and accountability are key at all levels. But designing engines with a quarter million pounds of thrust is just the beginning. As the flight configuration enters qualification the team is now exploring modifications for future engines including thrust upgrades new cycles and design for mass production.

About the role:

As a Responsible Engineer youll have cradle-to-grave ownership of your assigned component from initial design through manufacturing testing qualification and flight. This level of end-to-end ownership over combustion hardware is rare in the aerospace industry where these responsibilities are typically distributed across multiple teams and organizations. Combustion devices are among the most thermally and structurally critical components in the engine operating under extreme temperatures and pressures. The RE role provides technical ownership at the component level requiring coordination across disciplines and direct accountability for hardware decisions throughout the entire product lifecycle.

About you:

• Bachelors degree in a science or engineering field
• Experience working in the development of propulsion components combustion components or related hardware
• Experience applying engineering fundamentals in thermodynamics thermal structural and fluids

Nice to haves but not required:

• Experience in a rocket engine development and/or test environment
• Clear evidence of ownership from school or work experience
• Working knowledge of engine subsystems such as combustion devices heat exchangers ducting
• Exposure to powder bed additive manufacturing and automation techniques
