Valves Components Engineer II: our view in 3 lines...
- The Role:This role is for an engineer who designs, builds, and tests fluid control valve components for a rocket's propulsion and stage systems.
- The Person:The person will work with the design and test team to productionize an electro-mechanical valve mechanism, create work instructions and build tooling, stand up manufacturing equipment, and own the product through its lifecycle.
- Requirements:The ideal candidate has an understanding of engineering principles, has worked with electronics, epoxy, and installation procedures, has experience with cryo and ambient testing and electrical testing, and has worked with technicians making work instructions.
About the role
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.
The Components team is responsible for all fluid control devices across Terran R, from propulsion to stage systems, enabling a more integrated and informed design approach. Engineers own every aspect of multiple products and integrate with partner teams such as Propulsion, Avionics, and Stage Fluids to ensure their components function seamlessly within the scope of the broader vehicle.
