About the Team:
The Additive Development team at Relativity Space will develop, create, and operate 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 is crucial to manufacturing Aeon-1 for first launch and to developing and demonstrating groundbreaking technologies, design, and approaches for Aeon-R.
About the Role:
* Develop additive manufacturing processes to continuously improve manufacturing cost, quality, and lead time
* Produce additively manufactured components that rapidly enable high performance liquid propulsion hardware
* Holistically own and optimize the total manufacturing process including, design for additive, build file programing, manufacturing work instructions, and quality verification
* Develop, optimize, and productionize process parameters for various alloys and machine systems and develop tools and techniques to accelerate and automate that process
* Execute material failure investigations, conduct root cause analyses, and implement corrective actions
* Develop new tools, techniques, and applications that automate existing processes and standardize on performance-based benchmarks
* Support material and process team with characterization and qualification of various alloys
About You:
* Experience implementing new engineering processes in school projects, internships, and/or clubs
* Experience communicating technical information within a diverse team
* Experience with at least two of the following:
* CAD
* Design for additive manufacturing
* GD&T
* Exposure to concepts behind laser powder bed fusion, printer primary subsystems, and post-processes
* 2+ years of experience working in aerospace, medical devices, or ISO environments
* 2+ years of experience in mechanical or materials engineering related roles
* 2+ years of experience working on metallic additive manufacturing
* Exposure to typical manufacturing execution systems (MES) and quality management systems
Nice to haves but not required:
* Advanced degree (MS) in Material Science, Materials Engineering, Metallurgy, Mechanical Engineering, or another related field
* Familiarity with processing large datasets and statistical data analysis software such as R, JMP, or Minitab
* Familiarity with design and operation of liquid propellent engine systems
* Serve as materials subject matter expert on powder bed fusion team
* Proficient at oriented programming (Python, JS, C#, or Java)
* Experience in leveraging API's and real-time data sources to build applications in a production environment
* Developing APIs and building applications on them in a production environment
* Six Sigma/Lean manufacturing training
