Staff Materials & Process Engineer

About the Team: Awerx is a team within Relativity Space building agentic design tools for aerospace. The team focuses on agentic mechanical engineering and advanced manufacturing: systems that reason about geometry, materials, and process alongside the engineers who use them. The goal is design tools that produce parts that are not just analyzable, but buildable, qualifiable, and right the first time. You’ll work where software meets hardware, turning hard-won shop-floor knowledge into tools that change how aerospace hardware gets designed and built.

This role requires on-site presence at least three days per week, with flexibility to work remotely when the work allows. Much of the work is hands-on and best done alongside the engineers and hardware it supports.

About the Role: As a Staff Materials and Process Engineer, you’ll bring deep metallurgical and manufacturing-process expertise into the Awerx design-for-manufacturing (DFM) systems. You’ll turn what you know about how metals solidify, deform, crack, and machine into the rules, models, and constraints our agents use to design and plan aerospace hardware. The focus is hybrid manufacturing. That means multi-additive routes that combine processes such as sintered metal powder and wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM), and additive-plus-subtractive workflows that pair deposition with CNC finishing. Few tools reason well about these process chains today. You’ll help define how ours should, then build coupons and parts to prove it.
