<div class="content-intro"><p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">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.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Joining Relativity means becoming part of something where autonomy, ownership, and impact exist at every level. Here, you're not just executing tasks; you're solving problems that haven’t been solved before, helping develop a rocket, a factory, and a business from the ground up. 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 </span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">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. The most meaningful work of your career is waiting. Join us.</span></p></div><p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><strong><span data-contrast="none">About the Team: </span></strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">The Weld Development team is part of the Materials and NDE (Non-Destructive Evaluation) team. The Materials and NDE team plays a central role in enabling Terran R to fly, re-fly, and scale: developing, characterizing, and inspecting materials and processes across all parts of the vehicle. From welding and additive manufacturing to advanced composites, the team works at the intersection of innovation and execution, balancing performance and reliability with cost, quality, and schedule. As we move toward first flight and beyond, the challenges become more exciting, offering opportunities to shape how we design and develop for re-use. With ownership across products, systems, and disciplines, engineers gain broad exposure and drive key decisions across design, manufacturing, and operations.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><strong><span data-contrast="none">About the Role:</span></strong></span></p> <ul> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2" style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including design, manufacturing, materials and processes, and quality, to develop and optimize fusion welding processes for Terran R</span></li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2" style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Partner directly with manufacturing teams to provide technical support for welding operations, troubleshoot issues, and develop solutions to rapidly resolve production welding challenges</span></li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2" style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Serve as the accountable weld engineer for a range of stage hardware, including transfer tubes, fluid assemblies, grid fins, bellows, and heat shields</span></li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2" style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Ensure process quality control and documentation meet required standards and specifications; implement corrective actions and continuous improvements to maintain high-quality outputs</span></li> </ul> <p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><strong><span data-contrast="none">About You:</span></strong></span></p> <ul> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2" style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">B.S. in Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field</span></li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2" style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">1+ years of experience with welding processes (GTAW, GMAW, OTW, laser welding) and industry specifications (AWS, ASME, or similar)</span></li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2" style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">1+ years of experience in a high-paced production manufacturing environment</span></li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2" style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Strong curiosity and bias for action, with a hands-on approach and extreme ownership mentality</span></li> </ul> <p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><strong><span data-contrast="none">Nice to haves but not required: </span></strong><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":true,"134233118":true,"201341983":0,"335559740":240}"> </span></span></p> <ul> <li style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;
