About the Team:
At Relativity Space, our Production Control Team plays a mission-critical role in enabling our vision of revolutionizing aerospace manufacturing. This team is responsible for planning and scheduling the entire product lifecycle-from initial components and engine builds to full-stage vehicle integration. What makes our team unique is the depth and extensiveness of our influence across the organization. We work closely with Production, Supply Chain, Program Management, Engineering, and Leadership to ensure that every part, assembly, and milestone is aligned with the bigger picture. Our planners sit at the intersection of strategic execution and tactical problem solving, helping to translate complex technical goals into clear, achievable plans. We thrive in an environment where no two days are the same, and where adaptability, ownership, and curiosity are essential. Whether it's building capacity models from scratch, creating rate-based schedules for a new production line, or driving alignment across multiple hardware owners, this team is empowered to lead and deliver clarity where it's needed most. If you're energized by the idea of scheduling the future of spaceflight, being a core driver of operational readiness, and collaborating with some of the most innovative teams in the industry-then this is the team for you.
About the Role:
In this role, we are seeking an experienced Production Planner to join our growing team and play a key role in transforming our manufacturing operation into a high-output, rate-based system. This individual will own and drive planning deliverables tied to production execution, schedule transparency, and build readiness, while helping define scalable processes that support production rate acceleration.
Develop and maintain integrated production schedules that support end-to-end planning-from raw material to final assembly. Identify and mitigate risks tied to part shortages, late drawing releases, process planning gaps, and supply constraints. Actively manage Clear to Build processes, owning shortage resolution and collaborating cross-functionally to unblock constraints. Support scalable and automated planning solutions that drive efficiency, repeatability, and transparency across the build lifecycle. Partner with engineering, supply chain, and production teams to ensure alignment to build milestones and mitigate delivery risk. Continuously improve planning tools, reporting, and communication methods to enhance visibility and enable rapid decision-making. Contribute to planning strategies that enable rapid manufacturing and seamless integration within a fast-paced, high-complexity manufacturing environment.
About You:
3+ years of experience in production planning, supply chain, or manufacturing operations.
Strong understanding of MRP systems, BOM structures, and production control fundamentals.
Experience supporting or scaling high-mix, complex manufacturing environments.
Demonstrated ability to manage competing priorities and navigate ambiguity with confidence.
Proficiency in schedule management, risk identification, and cross-functional coordination.
Nice to haves but not required:
Aerospace, automotive, or high-rate manufacturing experience.
Experience with rate-based production transitions or new product introduction.
Exposure to digital planning tools and/or planning automation initiatives.
Familiarity with Clear to Build methodologies and shortage management.
Excellent analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills.
SQL query experience is a plus for supporting data-driven planning and reporting.
