As a Senior Propulsion Test Engineer at Relativity Space, you will play a pivotal role in the design, fabrication, and modification of test stands for our Terran 1 and Terran R engines and stages. This position is based at the Stennis Space Center, where you will be part of a team responsible for creating and operating state-of-the-art test facilities that support the testing of propulsion components. Your work will involve hands-on engagement with the construction and maintenance of these facilities, which are critical to the success of our launch operations. You will be tasked with designing advanced propulsion test stands, which includes creating 3D models, conducting fluids and structural analysis, and producing fabrication drawings and detailed work instructions. In addition to design responsibilities, you will supervise the construction, commissioning, and initial operations of these test stands. This role requires you to solve a variety of technical problems that may arise during the design and operational phases, considering factors such as complexity, cost, and long-term impact. You will also support operations on existing test stands and implement improvements to enhance their functionality. Your contributions will directly influence the success of the Terran 1 launch and other innovative projects at Relativity Space. This position offers a unique opportunity to work closely with cutting-edge aerospace technology and to be part of a team that is dedicated to pushing the boundaries of what is possible in rocket propulsion and additive manufacturing. You will have the chance to witness rocket engines firing up close, making this role not just a job, but a significant step in shaping the future of aerospace technology and interplanetary exploration.
