About the Team:
The Quality team supports all areas of production of Relativity's hardware and defines the processes to do so. We work closely with engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, test and launch counterparts to ensure the quality of our products. We help lay the foundation for all processes within the product lifecycle - design, buy, build, test and launch. This is a unique opportunity to join a growing Quality organization and help lead the front on producing the industry's highest quality 3D-printed parts and launch vehicle.
About the Role:
* Ownership may include the following: Design: drawing standardization, DFM, and configuration management and control
* Planning: work instruction review, process development, standard rework/repair documentation
* Assembly: in-process build verification, coordinate of travelled work, etc.
* Program: Nonconformance ticket processes, as-built verification, root cause/corrective action, etc.
* Drive initiatives to facilitate quality in our growing launch vehicle program. Some projects may include spearheading specification development, developing walk down checklists, supporting automation initiatives for quality inspection, assisting in DFM practices, etc.
* Develop strong working relationships with Engineering, Additive, Manufacturing, Test, and Launch teams to ensure all company objectives can be met
About You:
* Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering or other STEM field.
* Minimum of 5 years of experience acting as a Quality Engineer at a fast-paced manufacturing company
* Extensive experience interfacing with design engineering, manufacturing, production and test personnel
* In-depth knowledge of aerospace Avionics manufacturing/complex assembly practices and typical quality processes/controls
* Working knowledge of typical PLM, MES, ERP and QMS software
