About the job

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.

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.

Relativity is a place where creativity and technical rigor go hand in hand, and your voice will help define the stories we’re writing together.

You’ll work in a close-knit, dynamic environment where collaboration between technicians, operators, and engineers is not only encouraged, but expected.

As the company scales, the Stennis Test team becomes even more critical to unlocking our next phase of growth: proving out full-stage systems and paving the way for routine, reliable flights of Terran R. ## About the Role - Operate manual milling & manual lathe machines to produce precision parts. - Operate drill presses for accurate drilling, tapping, reaming, and related operations. - Operate and maintain a plasma cutting table. - Set up machines, select appropriate tooling, and determine proper speeds and feeds. - Read and interpret blueprints, drawings, dimensions, and tolerances. - Measure and inspect parts throughout the machining process. ## About You - Previous experience as a manual machinist or in a machine shop environment. - Experience operating a manual mill. - Experience operating a manual lathe - Experience operating a plasma table. - Ability to work safely and efficiently. - Ability to work independently and take ownership of the quality of your work. ## Nice to haves but not required - CNC machining experience. - CNC mill or CNC lathe experience - Field machining experience. ## Successful candidates must clear a background check administered by the US government to obtain clearance for on-site work at our government partner location in Stennis, Mississippi.
