Company Overview:
At Relativity Space, we have two audacious goals: to build the next great commercial launch company with Terran R and to become America's leading force in additive manufacturing innovation. Both contribute to our long-term vision of creating humanity’s industrial base on Mars, paving the way for interplanetary life to expand the possibilities of the human experience. This journey begins right here on Earth – where we design, build, and fly rockets to deliver customer payloads to orbit. Terran R, our medium-to-heavy lift reusable rocket, fulfills the growing demand for launch capacity, thanks to our iterative approach that accelerates design, testing, and development while minimizing costs.
Your journey with us is more than just a job – it’s an opportunity to shape the future of aerospace technology, additive manufacturing, and the human experience alongside a community of passionate, creative individuals. Join us on this extraordinary journey, as we work together to transform our vision into reality.
About the Team:
The Relativity Space NDE Engineering Team is dedicated to the integrity of our product while tackling the challenges of our traditional and non-traditional manufacturing methods. We are tasked with developing and executing inspection of a huge variety of materials and components using cutting-edge industry technology and vetting, developing, and deploying automation, machine learning and Statistical Process Control solutions to achieve continuous improvement in efficiency and execution.
About the Role:
Your core responsibilities will be:
- Coordinate with process stakeholders, identify applicable external resources, and develop infrastructure to unify manufacturing, quality, and NDE data into a central minable database.
- Reduce human factors as feasible through automation in data collection (e.g., scanning, instrument setup, etc.), data routing, and decision making.
- Demonstrate correlation and automated prediction capability between manufacturing defects and process inputs. Certify proof-of-concept with customers.
- Work closely with NDE Level 3s and NDE Engineers to develop and execute feasibility studies, PODs, and qualification plans incorporating the above.
- Interface with outside stakeholders to ensure that qualification data and documentation is in compliance with applicable external customer’s specifications and/or facilitate and document acceptable alternative methodologies.
- Engage in proactive mentorship and provide training and oversight for less experienced Engineers.
About You:
- BS or MS in a STEM field.
- 5+ years verifiable experience as an NDE Engineer or closely related role.
- 2+ years verifiable experience developing and deploying automated process control and validation methods in an aerospace NDE setting.
Nice to haves but not required:
- M.S. and/or PhD in Engineering with a focus on one or more NDE methods.
- Current ASNT Level 3 in one or more methods.
- Experience with inspection of additively manufactured materials.
- Experience Auditing 3rd Party NDE service providers and equipment vendors.
- Extensive and verifiable experience contributing to system design and qualification efforts for aerospace customers.
- Baseline competency in advanced NDE data analysis in one or more methods.
- Capable of set up, calibration and operation of complex NDE equipment as a part of the vetting and qualification of a variety of potential NDE methods.
