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 Reliability team at Relativity Space ensures quality is built into every stage of the Terran R design and production process, embedding reliability from the very beginning. The team works directly with design, manufacturing, test, and launch teams to stay close to the hardware, understand constraints, and proactively shape decisions. As the program moves from development into production and scaled operations, this is the time to establish the right processes, controls, and inspections without slowing progress. The team plays a key role in balancing risk, fostering a culture of ownership, and making sure speed never comes at the cost of reliability. Success means creating a quality system that scales with the Terran R program and Relativity as a whole.

About the Role:

  • Document Control & Administration: Maintain the centralized document library, including document classification, indexing, metadata, numbering, version control, and revision tracking while managing creation, approval, release, and obsolescence workflows to ensure only current documents are in use.
  • Records Management: Maintain controlled records in accordance with retention schedules and regulatory requirements, ensuring secure archival, compliant disposal, traceability, and audit readiness.
  • Systems & Tools: Administer document management and quality systems (DMS/QMS), perform periodic repository audits, support system updates or migrations, and generate reports on document status and compliance metrics.
  • Compliance & Audit Support: Ensure adherence to applicable standards and support internal/external audits or inspections by providing accurate, timely documentation.
  • Procedures & Training: Assist in developing and maintaining document control procedures and work instructions while providing training on document management best practices.
  • Cross-Functional Support: Partner with quality, engineering, regulatory, manufacturing, and operations teams to ensure documentation readiness, consistency, and lifecycle compliance during product or process changes.

About You:

  • Bachelor’s Degree or equivalent experience
  • 3+ years of experience in quality systems or quality engineering, familiar with QMS platforms and digital applications, preferably in aerospace
  • In-depth working experience of AS9100 or ISO9001 requirements and principles
  • Strong skills in document control, process mapping, and continuous improvement

At Relativity Space, we are committed to transparency and fairness in our compensation practices. Actual compensation will be determined based on experience, qualifications, and other job-related factors.

Compensation is only one part of our total rewards package. Relativity Space offers competitive salary and equity, a generous PTO and sick leave policy, parental leave, an annual learning and development stipend, and more! To see some of the benefits & perks we offer, please visit here.

🏢 Summary: Leadership role responsible for building and driving the supplier development and reliability strategy for a next-generation launch vehicle program. The position focuses on establishing scalable quality systems, managing supplier performance, and ensuring compliance with aerospace standards while supporting production and launch goals. It combines technical oversight, process deployment, and cross-functional execution in a high-reliability environment. 🗂️ Requirements: Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Aerospace, Industrial or related), 10+ years in Supplier Industrialization, Supplier Development, or Manufacturing Engineering, 5+ years of engineering team management experience, Expert knowledge of AS9100 and ISO 9001 quality systems, Hands-on experience with APQP, PPAP, FAIR, PFMEA, Control Plans, Experience implementing scalable quality processes, Ability to lead supplier qualification and risk resolution, Willingness to travel up to 50% 📃 Skills: AS9100, ISO9001, APQP, PPAP, FAIR, PFMEA, SPC, 8D, Lean, SixSigma, DFM, DFA, PLM, ERP, MES, Manufacturing, Quality, Aerospace 🏢 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 Reliability team at Relativity Space ensures quality is built into every stage of the Terran R design and production process, embedding reliability from the very beginning. The team works directly with design, manufacturing, test, and launch teams to stay close to the hardware, understand constraints, and proactively shape decisions. As the program moves from development into production and scaled operations, this is the time to establish the right processes, controls, and inspections without slowing progress. The team plays a key role in balancing risk, fostering a culture of ownership, and making sure speed never comes at the cost of reliability. Success means creating a quality system that scales with the Terran R program and Relativity as a whole. About the Role: Develop and lead a high-performing Supplier Development Engineering team, fostering ownership, technical rigor, and data-driven decision-making. Set and execute the supplier development strategy, reliability roadmap, and SQMS processes to meet Terran R production, launch, and compliance requirements (AS9100/ISO 9001). Drive supplier performance management, establishing key metrics and scorecards to improve PPM, yield, PPAP timing, and overall supplier capability. Own major supplier risk escalation and resolution, guiding disciplined problem solving (e.g., 8D) and ensuring rapid recovery on quality or capacity issues. Lead cross-functional alignment with Engineering, Manufacturing, and Supply Chain on supplier qualification, technical requirements, and NPI execution.
