Wafer Fabrication Operator jobs in Port Saint Lucie, FL

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.

Team:

The Launch team at Relativity Space is where the rubber meets the road, a proving ground for technological advancements and an opportunity for “cradle-to-grave” project ownership. The Launch team is responsible for designing, building, and operating world-class launch facilities supporting Terran R integration, launch operation, and recovery at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. This team is critical to the launch success of Terran R, among many other firsts!

You will work collaboratively with Launch Fluids and Data and Controls, to design & build fluid panels, skids, and other fluids Ground Support Equipment necessary to successfully launch and recover Terran R at Relativity’s site(s). A high degree of autonomy along with an ability to prioritize work in our fast-paced environment is required. We believe varied perspectives & backgrounds strengthen our team. Prior experience in aerospace is not required.

What you’ll do:

As a Fabrication Specialist, you will be at the forefront of creating a world-class orbital launch site. Through your hands, concepts and functional requirements become executable fabrication plans. You will consolidate inputs (P&IDS, drawings, engineering sketches, system BoMs, operational and maintenance requirements, and human factors to name a few) from Responsible Engineers of various disciplines to author fabrication instructions and assisting in construction & procurement. You will be the bridge between technicians and engineering.

• Fluid panel design and build
• Fluids hardware mounting structure design
• Fluid skid panel design and fabrication
• Fluid components selection and purchase
• Drafting of fabrication instructions from designs, P&ID’s or other engineering input

To be successful in this role, you must be self-motivated with exquisite attention to detail and able to lead projects to completion with limited direction. A high degree of drive and autonomy is required; ideally, you are someone who has come from a fast paced, aerospace environment, having completed difficult projects while collaborating effectively across various groups. You must be flexible to changes in strategic direction and willing to go the extra mile to ensure we as a company are producing the best possible product. You will be directly responsible for fluid system layouts, construction planning, and associated documentation. Along with these high expectations comes the opportunity to have a significant influence on a fast-growing startup company and to oversee rapid progress in an environment that encourages growth and risk.

What you need to know:

• Professional experience designing fluid panels:
  • Layout (AutoCAD, Visio, others)
  • Component selection and sourcing
  • Fabrication
  • Installation
• Experience reading and interpreting Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs)
• Tube bending experience.
• Knowledge of fluids fittings
• Experience supporting shop & field fabrication
• Excellent problem-solving and critical-thinking skills
• High degree of professional ethics and integrity

Nice to have but not required:

• Undergraduate degree in mechanical engineering or related field
• Experience designing cryogenic or high pressure (6,000 psig) process piping
• Experience designing process piping for DOD, USAF, or NASA facilities
• Experience designing within the constraints of AFSPCMAN 91-710
• Experience designing to various standards (ASTM, ASME, NASA, DoD, NFPA, API, SAE, and AWWA)
• Working experience within NX

Relativity Space offers competitive salary and equity, a generous vacation policy, an annual L&D stipend and more!
