What Relativity asks for
From Relativity's Manufacturing Engineer II ad, checked 4 Nov 2026.
Work instructions and process plans
Writing detailed process plans, work instructions, and work orders for hardware integration and test campaigns, covering propulsion, structures, or fluid systems.
Hands-on hardware test support
Supporting hardware builds and testing in person, troubleshooting issues in real time, and resolving non-conformances on the floor.
Pressure and fluid systems
Experience with the assembly and instrumentation of pressure and fluid systems, potentially including high-pressure or cryogenic equipment.
Design for testability
Working with design teams to provide feedback that ensures hardware is robust and efficient to test.
Test readiness and quality systems
Conducting Test Readiness Reviews, mitigating risks, and using PLM, ERP, or quality systems to manage components and calibrated equipment.
The ad asks for a bachelor's degree in engineering or a related field and 4 or more years of experience. Based in Long Beach, California.
How the example answers the ad
Four of the five requirements above, each matched to a line in the example.
Work instructions and process plans
“Authored 45+ comprehensive work instructions for cryogenic fluid system integration, reducing assembly errors by 18%.”
Authoring 45 work instructions specifically for fluid systems demonstrates experience writing technical documentation for hardware integration.
Hands-on hardware test support
“Supported daily shop floor build activities, providing immediate troubleshooting for 40+ high-pressure test failures.”
Immediate troubleshooting of 40 test failures on the shop floor shows experience with hands-on hardware test support and real time resolution.
Pressure and fluid systems
“Led the instrumentation of 50+ high-pressure fluid systems for qualification testing, meeting all safety targets.”
Leading the instrumentation of over 50 high-pressure systems shows experience with pressure and fluid systems equipment.
Design for testability
“Implemented design-for-testability feedback loops with the design team, resulting in a 12% reduction in final test duration.”
Establishing feedback loops with design teams to reduce test duration by 12 percent shows the integration of design for testability principles.
