Materials Characterization Technician I (2nd Shift)

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 Materials Engineering Team is a tight-knit, high performing group that plays a crucial role in Relativity’s mission by evaluating and improving the materials that make our rocket. They support engineering teams across the company – Additive, Propulsion, Structures, Avionics, Manufacturing, Launch, and many more. They work collaboratively and efficiently to support the quick iteration time that drives Relativity’s innovations.

What you’ll do:

• Operate the metallography equipment (for cutting, mounting, polishing, etching), optical microscopes, hardness tester, powder testing equipment in the lab to produce quality materials test results.
• Maintain the equipment and tools (cleanliness, standard maintenance, etc.)
• Maintain high quality work and data reporting standards (i.e., computer systems and following industry & internal test standards)
• Work with the broader materials engineering team and other internal customers to communicate testing needs and requirements.
• Opportunity to help in a supporting role with other materials testing techniques (i.e., thermal, machining, and mechanical)
• Interface with:
  • Engineering teams to provide testing data
  • Manufacturing teams to help communicate material needs for specimen testing
  • Leadership to elevate risks and overcome roadblocks

What you need to know:

• High school diploma or GED
• 1+ year experience in hands on technical environment (laboratory, testing, machining, etc.)
• Highly motivated and ability to learn quickly
• Highly proficient in verbal and written communication skills
• Experience with Microsoft Office Suite

Nice to haves but not required:

• Experience with machining resources in the lab to produce quality materials test specimens (saws, drills, grinders/sanders, mill, and lathe)
• Experience with aerospace materials, including high strength aluminum, nickel, copper, and titanium alloys
• Experience with Atlassian tools (Jira and Confluence)
• Knowledge of ITAR/EAR compliance
