Joining Relativity means becoming part of something where autonomy, ownership, and impact exist at every level. Here, you're not just executing tasks; you're solving problems that haven’t been solved before, helping develop a rocket, a factory, and a business from the ground up. Whether you’re in propulsion, manufacturing, software, avionics, or a corporate function, you’ll collaborate across teams, shape decisions, and see your work come to life in record time. Relativity is a place where creativity and technical rigor go hand in hand, and your voice will help define the stories we’re writing together. Now is a unique moment in time where it’s early enough to leave your mark on the product, the process, and the culture, but far enough along that Terran R is tangible and picking up momentum. The most meaningful work of your career is waiting. Join us.
About the Team:
The Supply Chain team turns design intent into executable reality, balancing lead time, cost, complexity, and manufacturability to ensure we can build and scale Terran R. On this team, you're not just placing orders; you're actively shaping the solution. With full ownership across raw materials, capital equipment, and services, the role requires both strategic thinking and day-to-day execution. As the company scales, supply chain becomes increasingly central, working closely with engineering, quality, manufacturing, and more to make decisions that work for today but also for tomorrow. This is a team for those who want to operate at the intersection of technical ambition and business execution, driving tangible progress to keep the Terran R program on track.
About the Role:
As a Global Supply Manager, Machining, you'll work closely with stakeholders across Vehicle Engineering, Manufacturing Operations, Supply Chain Planning, and more to design and scale both existing and novel supply chains in the sourcing and development of complex machined components that create a competitive advantage for the enterprise.
Lead sourcing and supplier management for custom machined components and major vehicle structures ensuring cost, quality, and delivery targets are achieved
Develop and execute supply chain strategies, including supplier selection, long-term agreements, and capacity planning to support Terran-R build schedules
Partner cross-functionally with Engineering, Quality, and Planning to influence design for manufacturability and align procurement with program milestones
Drive supplier performance through rigorous risk management, contract negotiations, and milestone-based tracking
Mentor and support team members, building expertise in precision machining processes and supplier development
Act as a thought leader for machining commodities, continuously improving sourcing processes, supplier health, and program readiness
About You:
Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management, Business, Engineering, or related field
5+ years of professional experience in supply chain, sourcing, or procurement
Demonstrated experience managing suppliers for complex aerospace or advanced manufacturing commodities
Proven track record of negotiating contracts and managing milestone-based agreements
Hands-on experience with ERP systems (LN, SAP, Oracle, or equivalent)
Knowledge of aerospace manufacturing processes such as CNC machining, 5-axis milling, turning, precision grinding, EDM, and tight-tolerance fabrication
Nice to haves but not required:
MBA or advanced degree in Supply Chain, Business, or Engineering
Direct experience managing machining commodities in aerospace (CNC machined components, castings, forgings, sheet metal fabrication, extrusions, etc.)
Familiarity with AS9100 and NADCAP standards (specifically for machining processes), supplier qualifications, and audit processes
Proven success driving supplier performance improvements through KPIs, recovery plans, and long-term agreements
New Product Development (NPD) or Introduction (NPI) supply chain experience, preferably within aerospace or frontier technology industries
Proficiency in supplier risk assessment, machining cost modeling, and capacity planning
Understanding of material specifications, surface treatments, and inspection requirements for aerospace-grade machined parts
