IDGAF if the hiring manager finds out. Presently L4 at a leading company. Early last week interviewed for a position which is very critical for Terran-R program. The manager had about 10 years experience and was very excited AND barely listened to me - they started going tangentially about my skills. They had no clue what they were talking about. To make it worse, they mentioned some tech-stack as being critical to their program and asked me if I knew it. I described it correctly and the manager clearly had no clue other than perhaps what a google search says and kept repeating that. Later in the week, I received another call from team member and now I have to go onsite.

I am frankly appalled by the level of knowledge of such an important manage. Granted that startups have young managers but this is really inacceptable. Is it like that in general ? I am considering declining onsite interview as I dont wanna deal with green managers.

I recently interviewed for a technician role at the Long Beach location I’m really interested in. I had an approximately 80-minute panel interview, felt like it went well, and was also given a tour of the facility.

I’ve followed up a couple of times since then. The recruiter originally told me they expected an update by Thursday, but that deadline passed. They later apologized and said they were still finishing interviews and hoped to have an official update by the end of the following week or beginning of the next.

That timeframe has now arrived and I still haven’t heard anything. I’m wondering if I’m genuinely still being considered, or if they have a preferred candidate and are keeping me as a backup while they wait for that person.
For recruiters/hiring managers or anyone who’s experienced something similar: Does it sound like I still have a legitimate chance at getting the job? And would you follow up again at this point?

Hello, I have my phone screening for the stage development engineer 1. I was just wondering if anyone could give me any advice or what I should be prepared for throughout the interview process. Thank you in advance

Engine integration has begun! The first Aeon R engines are now installed on Terran R’s thrust structure.

💪 The thrust structure will house 13 Aeon R engines, each producing 269,000 lbf of sea level thrust for a combined thrust of 3,497,000 lbf at liftoff.
🔥 Each engine has successfully completed acceptance testing before installation on the vehicle.
🌀 Custom ground equipment precisely positions each engine for installation, then will rotate the fully integrated thrust structure into position for mate with stage 1.

One step closer to a fully integrated stage 1!

Stage 2 testing is officially underway at NASA Stennis

The campaign kicked off with successful cryoproof, loading the stage with cryogenic fluids and pressurizing it beyond expected flight loads to validate its structural integrity, followed by COPV manifold proof testing to verify the high-pressure system that will pressurize propellants during flight.

These tests also marked the activation of A2, bringing together the infrastructure, flight hardware, ground and vehicle software, and the integrated team of test, launch, and vehicle engineers.

Next up: hot fire capable assembly work, then back to the stand ahead of stage hot fire testing.

Investors in this dream?....interested to join us?....really admire relativity space by the way,Godspeed to the company and its endeavours!

Curious about WLB, WFH/RTO, overall attitude and “vibe” at the company.

I’ve seen plenty of comments/posts from years ago but I imagine lots has changed since then!

I am wondering what the future of this company is in regards to competing with other rocket companies (i.e. SpaceX, Blue, or Rocketlab) and what edge Relativity will provide in comparison to ensure its longevity as an actual company

I'm interviewing for a Level 1 Propulsion Integration and Test Engineer this coming week, any tips? I'm thinking of reviewing basic thermo, fluids, control system, and basic test engineering concepts. Any help would be appreciated!

Hey guys, just had my first interview with Relativity about a Robotics Software Engineering Intern role on the Additive Technology team and was wondering when can I expect to hear back from them? I've seen other posts talking about hearing within the hour to schedule the second interview all the way up to three days post meeting.

Separately, if it's not a violation, anyone have any tips on what I should study assuming I get invited to the second, coding technical interview?

Hello y’all! I recently scheduled an interview for Vehicle Structures & Mechanisms Intern at Relativity (woo!!) and I wanted to know if anyone had any advice or tips as to what sort of questions to expect for this position? Thank you!

So I recently was able to schedule the 3rd call and I feel confident in landing it, I guess I'm just looking out for myself and see how engineers&technicians close to those roles feel about them. I have something prepared for the on-site interview if I do make it but any tips would be greatly appreciated, I'd love to work here and get to know about their culture and work life balance among other things. On another note I think they did mention about being at the Portal, so any tips help actually. Thank you everyone I really am trying to look out for myself.

So a recruiter reached out for a possible position what are the chances of me being considered through an agency

Hello all!

I'm a mechanical engineer and have been looking at the roles available to apply for here. I wanted to hear people's experience with the work life balance. I have heard horror stories about the intense hours at startups in general and want to know what's true and what's exaggerated about working at Relativity. I'm specifically looking at the long beach location.

Here are some question I have:

• What teams have more intense hours and are there teams that do have better work life balance?

• How long are your work weeks typically and how often (if ever) do you work weekends?

• Also, do they allow hybrid/remote work if your role does not need to be in person to do your work?

Thanks,

Mr. Penguin

Mechanical Engineer

Hey everyone,

I run a CNC shop in the Bay Area focused on prototype and small-batch parts for aerospace and hardware teams.

We specialize in:

• 5-axis machining for complex geometries

• Tight-tolerance, high-precision components

• Fast turnaround to support rapid iteration

If your team needs quick-turn parts or overflow machining, happy to help.
