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 Powder Bed Fusion manufacturing team develops, creates, and operates the most advanced additive manufacturing technologies in the world. This best-in-class team makes sure that the infrastructure, materials, tools, and equipment are in place for us to rapidly iterate and print. The Powder-Based manufacturing team was crucial to manufacturing Aeon-1 for first launch and now are developing and demonstrating groundbreaking technologies, design, and approaches for Aeon-R!
About the Role:
- Perform routine periodic maintenance (PM) and troubleshooting of PBF Printers to ensure efficient operation and optimized output.
- Perform laser optics inspection and calibrations to maintain optimal laser output.
- Maintain inventory of critical spares, consumables, and tools necessary to maintain printers and equipment. With the guidance of engineering and technical specialist team perform hardware repair and testing protocols to identify and resolve potential issues that may impact production. Such as testing and validating Sensors, Valves, Actuators, and Motors.
- Assist engineers and technical specialist team in developing and documenting standard operating procedures (SOP’s) related to printer maintenance and troubleshooting.
- Provide onsite technical support and training to production team of changes to printer operations and daily maintenance
About You:
- 6+ years of relevant experience working with PBF printers or similar additive manufacturing technologies.
- 1+ years of maintenance and troubleshooting experience with PBF Printers or similar advanced technologies.
- Relevant maintenance or machine operations certificates from OEM’s or accredited institutions such as EOS Self-Care, EOS Advanced Troubleshooting, Certified Maintenance & Reliability Technician, or equivalent.
- Proficient with Laser Optic testing and inspections methods such as Laser Power, Laser Focus, and Scanner Accuracy.
- Strong mechanical aptitude, attention to detail, and communication skills.
- Strong experience with hand tools, power tools, pneumatic tools, and a solid understanding of materials and processes as they relate to maintenance and repairs.
Nice to haves but not required:
- Experience with other types of PBF printer OEM’s such as Velo3D, Additive Industries, GE, Concept, or 3D Systems.
- Familiarity with diagnostic software such as EOS Service
- Familiarity with CAD or programming software.
- Experience with Tooling Fabrication

What the Team is Saying
What We Do
Welcome to Relativity Space, where we're rewriting the rules of rocketry. We have built and launched the world’s first 3D printed rocket, Terran 1, and are now bringing to market Terran R, our reusable medium-to-heavy-lift launch vehicle. Our iterative development approach revolutionizes the process from design to flight, ensuring we can scale to meet customer needs.
Our focus is clear: provide exceptional launch services that are highly competitive in the market. We design and manufacture cost-effective, high-performance, and reusable rockets at an unprecedented pace and scale – setting a new industry standard.
At Relativity Space, we have two audacious goals: build the next great commercial launch company with Terran R, and become America’s leading force in additive manufacturing innovation. Both ladder up 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. That journey begins right here on Earth—designing, building, and flying rockets to deliver customer payloads to orbit.
A medium-to-heavy lift reusable rocket, Terran R is designed to meet the ever-growing need for launch capacity. Our iterative approach accelerates the design, test, and development processes, enabling high-volume performance and reliability, with lower costs and shorter time to market. Our 3D printing research and development is at the bleeding edge, setting the standard for a new era of large-scale additive manufacturing.
Why Work With Us
We believe in a future where interplanetary life fundamentally expands the possibilities for the human experience. In realizing this, our long-term goal is to create humanity’s industrial base on Mars. The first step toward this long-term vision starts here on Earth – building rockets and pushing the boundaries of additive manufacturing.
