Job Description
About the Team:
The Tooling and Factory Automation team sits at the intersection of design, manufacturing, and automation, making everything from large-scale structural fixtures to small tools that directly enable Terran R's production. As a design group embedded within the manufacturing organization, we dig deep into the needs of our internal partners to understand root problems, propose solutions, and deliver hardware to help build faster, scale smarter, and work better. The team is also at the forefront of Relativity's growing factory automation efforts, an increasingly critical part of scaling production of Terran R at existing and future facilities. You'll have the autonomy to make decisions, field solutions, and see them in action on the factory floor. Ultimately, you're not just designing tools or automated processes; you're defining how rockets and factories get built.
About the Role:
- Develop high quality development and production tooling for the Terran vehicle and Aeon engine programs
- Capable of integrating concepts and principles of mechanical design and analysis of several different projects in a fast-paced environment - projects will vary in size and scale
- Ability to interpret and apply sound design and drafting standards (ASME Y14.5) in creating tooling drawing definitions
- Handle a wide range of technical problems and familiar with all types of material handling, assembly fixtures, off-loaders, rotisseries, test fixtures, structural weldments, environmental chambers, and custom machines
- Close collaboration with component designers, manufacturing engineers, and integration engineering to achieve the best possible cradle to grave metrics (safety, cost, quality, cycle time, delivery, reliability, life, and maintenance/refurbishment)
- Manage projects including vendor selection, fabrication, inspection, equipment installation, and commissioning of tooling
About You:
- Bachelor of Science degree in manufacturing engineering, mechanical engineering or equivalent
- Experience using CAD and FEA-based analysis software (NX and ANSYS Workbench preferred) for structural applications
Nice to haves but not required:
- 1+ years of work or project experience with design, build, and commissioning of tooling and fixtures for manufacturing, assembly and test
- Experience with Siemens NX and Teamcenter PLM software
- Experience with ANSYS Workbench, FEMAP Pre/Post processing, NASTRAN Solver, NX Advance Simulation, Mechanica, etc.
