Additive Engineering Intern
Company Overview:
Relativity is the first and only company to automate aerospace manufacturing by integrating intelligent robotics, software, and proprietary metal 3D printing technology. Disrupting 60 years of aerospace, Relativity offers a radically simplified supply chain, building a rocket with 100x fewer parts in less than 60 days. Our long-term goal is to upgrade humanity’s industrial base on Earth and on Mars.
Team:
The Additive Development team at Relativity Space will develop, create, and operate the most advanced additive manufacturing technologies in the world. This best-in-class team makes sure that the infrastructure, materials, tools, and equipment are in place for us to rapidly iterate and print. The team is crucial to manufacturing Aeon-1 for first launch and to developing and demonstrating groundbreaking technologies, design, and approaches for Aeon-R!
What you'll do:
The Additive Engineering group is looking for an intern to join us in solving the most complex problems in Additive Manufacturing.
You will work on developing, validating, and improve in-house and external manufacturing processes capable of scaling to meet future Terran 1 launch vehicle demand. You will work with design engineers to develop, evaluate, and improve designs and manufacturing methods using knowledge of material properties, machinability, welding, assembly methods, and quality control standards. You will resolve manufacturing challenges or issues by implementing root cause corrective actions.
Past intern projects (just a few examples!):
- Tested flight quick disconnects
- Implemented computer vision on the robots to implemented live depth data
- Worked on adding automated sanding/grinding capabilities to our print cells
- Worked on test stand infrastructure to help run tests more often and more efficiently
- Oversaw designing the PCB for the High Voltage Battery Management System (HVBMS)
- Helped set up an anomaly detection framework for stargate printers
- Printed rocket engine parts!
Skills/Competencies we're looking for:
- Obtaining BS or MS in Engineering
- We believe varied perspectives & backgrounds strengthen our team. Prior experience in aerospace or metal AM is not required
- Demonstrated the ability to define and implement a process from scratch and effectively communicate to a diverse team
- Proficient in at least one CAD program and design for additive manufacturing
- Basic understanding of metallurgy, heat treatments, and post-processing
- Familiarity with rocket propulsion system concepts
We believe varied perspectives & backgrounds strengthen our team. Prior experience in aerospace is not required.
This position must meet Export Control compliance requirements, therefore a United States Person as defined by 22 C.F.R. § 120.15 is required.
