Infrastructure Engineer Intern

Company Overview:  

At Relativity Space, we have two audacious goals: to build the next great commercial launch company with Terran R and to become America's leading force in additive manufacturing innovation. Both contribute to our long-term vision of creating humanity’s industrial base on Mars, paving the way for interplanetary life to expand the possibilities of the human experience. This journey begins right here on Earth – where we design, build, and fly rockets to deliver customer payloads to orbit. Terran R, our medium-to-heavy lift reusable rocket, fulfills the growing demand for launch capacity, thanks to our iterative approach that accelerates design, testing, and development while minimizing costs. While our groundbreaking research and development in 3D printing pushes the boundaries of large-scale additive manufacturing.

Your journey with us is more than just a job – it’s an opportunity to shape the future of aerospace technology, additive manufacturing, and the human experience alongside a community of passionate, creative individuals. Join us on this extraordinary journey, as we work together to transform our vision into reality.

About the Team:  

The Stennis team at Relativity Space is responsible for designing, building, and operating world-class test stands to support the Terran R stages, engines, and propulsion components.

Unique to this location, you will have the opportunity to get hands-on the fully integrated engine and stage assemblies, push the hardware to the limits, and witness rocket engines firing up close and personal! This team is critical to the launch success of Terran 1, among many other firsts!

What you'll do:  

• Design facilities and infrastructure to support advanced propulsion test stands, including 3D modeling of structures, fluids and structural analysis, fabrication drawings, fluids P&IDs, and overall equipment layout 
• Solve a wide range of technical challenges, across broad ranges of timeframe, complexity, cost, and long-term impact 
• Supervise contractors 
• Construction site reporting 
• Independently run small scale construction projects from start to finish

• Potentially travel to and from production, test, and launch locations 

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:  

• Current undergraduate or graduate student earning degree in mechanical engineering, , civil engineering, construction management or a related technical field 
• Ability to work in a fast-paced and intense startup environment 
• Experience with 3D Computer-Aided Design (CAD) 
• Basic knowledge of common construction and engineering principles 
• Ownership of projects from beginning to end, with minimal oversight
