Description
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. Whether you’re in propulsion, manufacturing, software, avionics, or a corporate function, you’ll collaborate across teams, shape decisions, and see your work come to life in record time. 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. Now is a unique moment in time where it’s early enough to leave your mark on the product, the process, and the culture, but far enough along that Terran R is tangible and picking up momentum. The most meaningful work of your career is waiting. Join us.
About the Team:
The Stage Manufacturing team turns design into reality, owning the build of Terran R’s primary structures. This isn’t about turning the same bolt every day; it’s about building the systems to build the rocket. Engineers and technicians work side by side, with deep collaboration and real-time feedback, to shape how we build better and faster. With a manifest and a launch date, it’s up to the team to deliver on Terran R: solving challenges in real time, optimizing for scale, and constantly improving processes. As the vehicle evolves, so will the factory, with opportunities to apply automation, machine learning, and advanced technologies. What we build here sets the blueprint for the future of scaled launch.

About this role
Relativity Space is hiring a Mechanisms Technician II to support the manufacturing of Terran R's primary structures on the second shift in Long Beach. You'd be assembling and testing complex electro-mechanical systems—the kind of precision work that goes into flight hardware—collaborating directly with engineering teams and fellow technicians to turn designs into rocket components. The role involves hands-on work with calibrated tools, test equipment, wiring, and avionics, with a strong emphasis on aerospace standards and quality.
This position suits someone with at least two years of aerospace mechanical experience who thrives in fast-paced environments and takes ownership of technical detail. You'll need proficiency with torque wrenches, precision inspection equipment, and electro-mechanical assembly and testing. Experience troubleshooting electrical systems, high and low voltage testing, or an A&P license would strengthen your candidacy, though they're not required. The second shift runs Monday through Friday, 3:30 p.m. to 2:00 a.m., structured as a 50-hour workweek with 10 guaranteed overtime hours built in. Compensation ranges from $28.27 to $42.40 per hour, plus equity, PTO, parental leave, and an annual learning stipend.
