Vehicle Fluids Engineer I

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 Stage Fluids team is responsible for the design and delivery of the propellant pressurant pneumatics and other fluid systems that turn structures into functioning rockets! The team has full ownership across design production test and flight maintaining a holistic view of Terran R focused not on isolated parts but integrated functionality. Working on-site at the factory means youre never far from the hardware enabling rapid iteration and tight feedback loops across design and manufacturing. You wont just be handed requirements: youll be expected to ask the right questions collaborate with partners across the company and ultimately find the best solutions for Terran R.

About the Role:

• In this role you will be responsible for the hardware design and implementation of the vehicle fluid architecture ensuring a reliable and efficient operation of our Terran R launch vehicle. Your primary tasks will be focused on:
  • Fluid routing and system-level trade studies
  • Mechanical verification of fluid system hardware (hand calculations and FEA)
  • Structural design of pressure components mounting hardware and tubing
  • Hardware testing validation and health assessment
  • Basic fluid system analysis and general architecture support
  • Production support on-floor troubleshooting and incorporation of direct feedback to improve hardware designs
  • To succeed in this role you will bring a solid foundation in fundamental physics and the ability to apply first-principles thinking to complex problems. You are self-motivated adaptable and thrive in a fast-paced highly integrated and collaborative vehicle development environment
• This role offers the opportunity to directly contribute to vehicle stage hardware while accelerating your professional growth in a culture that values collaboration ownership technical rigor and calculated risk-taking

About You:

• The right person for this role will need to be someone who enjoys collaboration in a highly dynamic team environment. They will have end to end ownership of their designs and immediately see hardware you designed come to fruition. They must be flexible to changes in strategic direction and willing to take full ownership of their projects to ensure we as a company produce the best possible product. About You:
• Bachelors degree in mechanical or an equivalent engineering discipline
• Hardware design and ownership experience in industry internships or school projects
• Project experience with at least 3 of the following:

  • Experience with fluid system components (fittings seals valves regulators etc.) and system testing
  • Experience with fluid system operation or design
  • Experience with FEA tools to analyze structural margins
  • Experience with a commercial CAD package (NX CREO Solidworks)

Nice to haves but not required:

• 1 years of related experience
