CNC Setup Operator I, First Shift

Job 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 Stage Manufacturing team turns design into reality, owning the build of Terran R’s primary structures. This isn’t about turning the same bolt every day; it’s about building the systems to build the rocket. Engineers and technicians work side by side, with deep collaboration and real-time feedback, to shape how we build better and faster. With a manifest and a launch date, it’s up to the team to deliver on Terran R: solving challenges in real time, optimizing for scale, and constantly improving processes. As the vehicle evolves, so will the factory, with opportunities to apply automation, machine learning, and advanced technologies. What we build here sets the blueprint for the future of scaled launch. **About the Role:** - Responsible for running 3 axis CNC router, plate mill, and roll forming equipment - Responsible for completing standard lift operations or assisting in critical lift operation - Perform precision blending/deburring using a combination of standard power tools or hand tools - Perform in process inspections using hand tools such as micrometers, calipers, and pin gauges - Uphold high Relativity Space standards regarding safety and shop cleanliness Foster and inclusive environment for all members of the team **About You:** - Experience with metal fabrication techniques (bending, rolling, etc) - Experience with machining equipment (mill, lathe, etc) Proficient in the use of common hand tools and inspection tools - Proficient in the use of Microsoft Office or other team communication tools such as Slack (or equivalent) **Nice to have, but not required:** - Experience with rigging and crane operations - Experience with welding operations - Experience with CNC, robotics, and/or machine programming Experience reading drawings and/or GD&T At Relativity Space, we are committed to transparency and fairness in our compensation practices.
