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 Factory Test team is responsible for all hazardous testing in our Long Beach facilities. We use our breadth of experience and collaborative engineering approach to support everything from very large structural tests to precise valve actuation. To that end, we design, build, and operate all test assets in Long Beach from initial concept to test execution. If you enjoy working on a multi-disciplinary team with a broad mandate and want to put hands on hardware, then this is the team for you.
About the Role:
- Perform hands-on testing and inspection of aerospace systems and components under supervision
- Assist in the setup and calibration of test equipment and tooling
- Participate in assembly and disassembly of test articles, ensuring high-quality standards are maintained
- Document test results and maintain accurate records of all work performed
- Ensure a safe working environment by adhering to all safety protocols and company policies
- Work closely with senior technicians and engineers to resolve technical issues and support test operations
About You:
- Recent graduate or early-career professional with a desire to work in aerospace testing or a related field
- Strong attention to detail and commitment to quality craftsmanship
- Willingness to learn and grow in a fast-paced, hands-on environment
- Able to work well in a team and communicate effectively with colleagues
- Comfortable working with mechanical and electrical tools and equipment
- Ensure compliance with health and safety regulations, which may involve safely handling equipment, perform physical tasks such as stooping, bending, crawling, and maneuvering in tight spaces, and lifting up to 50lbs
Nice to haves but not required:
- Experience with basic mechanical or electrical assembly and troubleshooting
- Familiarity with reading schematics, drawings, and work orders
- Previous experience working in a manufacturing or testing environment
- Basic knowledge of aerospace systems and components

What the Team is Saying
What We Do
A rocket company at the core, Relativity Space is on a mission to become the next great commercial launch company. Terran R, our medium-to-heavy lift reusable launch vehicle, will reliably deliver payloads to orbit on-time and on-budget for customers – meeting the needs of growing demand for space infrastructure. Leveraging the benefits of additive manufacturing to design, test, and iterate at a pace unmatched in the industry, we are changing the way rockets are built and flown.
Our long-term goal is to create humanity’s industrial base on Mars, paving the way for interplanetary life to fundamentally expand the possibilities of the human experience. The first step toward this vision starts here on Earth, by building the next great commercial launch company.
Why Work With Us
For 60 years, aerospace manufacturing has relied on fixed tooling and complex supply chains to slowly build rockets comprised of hundreds of thousands of parts. Leveraging advances in additive manufacturing, Relativity Space is strategically focused on reducing vehicle complexity, cost, and time to market.
