Lead Propulsion Engineer, Integrated Design

Relativity Space • Long Beach, CA

7h • $136,000 - $187,000

About The Position

You will lead a team that is responsible for the design and analysis of integration hardware, as well as overall engine layout and packaging. This role will require managing a small team, requiring strong mentorship, project management, establishing priorities, communicating with leadership, providing technical guidance, and recruiting. Close collaboration with stakeholders within Propulsion Engineering (Combustion Devices, Turbomachinery, and Components) and external to Propulsion Engineering (Stage, Test Stand, and Integration) is essential. Designs and packaging trades will be informed by both fluid and structural analytical and computational models. You will strategically leverage 3D printing, as well as traditional manufacturing methods, to dramatically reduce the cost, weight, and part count of Aeon-R. To be successful in this role, you should be someone who thrives in ambiguity and knows how to lead (and guide) projects to completion.
