Senior Manager of Vehicle Integration Engineering - Long Beach, United States - Relativity Space
Description
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. While our groundbreaking research and development in 3D printing pushes the boundaries of large-scale additive manufacturing.
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 Vehicle Manufacturing team at Relativity Space is currently deep in laying the manufacturing groundwork and process development for Terran R, our next generation, re-useable rocket. This team has a wide variety of responsibilities—from determining the most efficient factory floor layout, to developing and implementing complex tooling and processes. The core of this team is interfacing with the vehicle engineering team to heavily influence the design of the rocket to make the worlds-first mass produced rocket.
Overall, this team is critical to the enabling development and initial builds of Terran R. This team pulls together the efforts of design, supply chain, production and manufacturing teams to deliver flight-ready vehicles for test and launch. To meet our goals, we will drive the product from design concept through initial builds to structural acceptance test, and then final integration, ensuring the team can move fast while still producing high quality, well understood products.
About the Role:
As the Senior Manager of the Vehicle Integration Engineering team, you will lead a group of talented engineers responsible for collaborating with vehicle design and test teams to produce the integrated stage assemblies in our Long Beach production facility. Your primary responsibility will be to ensure efficient and effective manufacturing processes across various stages of product development in the Integration production work center. In this role, you will advocate for scalable manufacturing during product design trades and reviews, ensuring that manufacturing considerations are integrated early in the design process. You will oversee build flow planning to optimize production efficiency and manage large-scale assembly logistics to ensure timely delivery of components. Additionally, you will be responsible for overseeing tooling design, from conceptualization to sourcing, to support the vehicle integration process, as well as Integration and Test (I&T) asset management and test execution. You will lead efforts in fast-paced issue dispositions, swiftly resolving any integration related issues that may arise.
