The Integrated Analysis group is responsible for accelerating Relativity's hardware engineering via advanced analysis and cutting-edge tools. The team works on a variety of complex structures analyses across all of our hardware teams, and develops tools and methods to unlock deeper insight in less time - to reduce weight, improve robustness, and deliver more flight-ready hardware to the launch pad.
About the Role
Drive architecture, sizing, and development of structures like tanks, thrust structures, mechanisms, trays, lines, and other components in collaboration with peer technical teams
Build, execute, and validate structures analyses at the component, system, and vehicle level, including relevant tool development and automation
Develop novel structural analysis techniques for reusable launch vehicles
Direct design and development engineers in the successful application of structural mechanics and analysis principles to achieve system and component requirements
Develop and execute tests to support structures development and qualification, including hands-on work like test article integration, instrumentation setup, and data processing
About You
Undergraduate degree in Engineering or a related discipline
2+ years experience in an analysis role
Working knowledge of structural analysis and test (from hand calculations to advanced numerical analysis e.g., nonlinear buckling or explicit dynamics)
Fundamental knowledge of metallic structure behavior and failure modes like strength, stability, and fatigue
Proficiency in a commercial aerospace finite element package (e.g., Nastran, Abaqus) and a relevant pre/post-processor like Femap
Proficiency with an engineering scripting language like Python or MATLAB
Nice to haves, but not required
Graduate degree in Engineering or a related discipline
5+ years experience in an analysis role
Experience across 1 or more full product lifecycles of an integrated vehicle
Graduate education in structural mechanics, computer science, or numerical methods
Experience with Abaqus or ANSA
