Company Overview:  

A rocket company at the core, Relativity Space is on a mission to become the next great commercial launch company. Meeting the needs of a growing demand for space infrastructure, our rockets will revolutionize how we connect and communicate on Earth by getting satellites to space. We have developed a vertically integrated technology platform in which we leverage additive manufacturing, artificial intelligence, and autonomous robotics to 3D print rockets. Our unique approach enables rapid product iteration, allowing us to push the boundaries of what's possible today and unlock the full potential of 3D printing for tomorrow. Join us on this extraordinary journey, as we work together to transform our vision into reality.

Team:

Relativity seeks a highly talented Welding Engineer to perform technical developments with our Stargate printers. You will be working alongside a team of weld technicians and engineers to effectively utilize large-scale print cells to produce prototype rockets.  As an Additive Weld Engineer, you will have a direct effect on how our rockets are built—on a day to day, you will lead the deployment and application of new additive manufacturing procedures on a variety of flight components, produce and enforce standards for our additive process, and assist in optimizing and automating our processes.

What you’ll do:

To be successful in this role, the candidate will have welding automation experience in a production environment. You will have demonstrated both hands on and theoretical understanding of the arc welding process to produce high quality welds. The candidate will have experience developing welding parameters and establishing standards. Ideally, this candidate will also have experience operating mechanized or robotic welding equipment. This role is extremely collaborative— the candidate will be working with all teams from robotics, design, materials, NDT, and operations. Ability to form strong, collaborative relationships with peers and leaders across the company is key.

What you need to know:

  • B.S. in Welding Engineering
  • 2+ years of experience demonstrating both hands-on welding and process development
  • Demonstrated working knowledge of NDT evaluation, metallurgy, root-cause analysis, and design requirement definition.
  • Deep practical and theory-based understanding of the GMAW process.
  • Well versed material science understanding of aluminum alloys.
  • Diagnose weld process defects and suggest corrective actions, both in repair and optimization.
  • Ability to consistently make timely decisions even in the face of complexity.
  • Ability to cope with high demand environment where priorities change frequently, and multiple projects are being worked on at the same time.
  • Excellent troubleshooting and problem-solving skills, including suggesting appropriate modifications to welding equipment to improve the process.
  • Strong interdisciplinary communication skills
  • Ability to collaborate with technicians and engineers to develop welding parameters that meet part requirements.
  • Proven experience of leadership and mentoring

Nice to have but not required:

  • MS. in Welding Engineering or related technical field
  • Experience with arc additive processes
  • Strong familiarity with industrial robotics and automation
  • Experience with additive manufacturing software packages

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

OMB Control Number 1250-0005

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
