Staff Instrumentation & Control Systems Engineer

At Relativity Space were building rockets to serve todays needs and tomorrows breakthroughs. OurTerran R vehicle will deliver customer payloads to orbit meeting the growing demand for launchcapacity. But thats just the start. Achieving commercial success with Terran R will unlock newopportunities to advance science exploration and innovation pioneering progress that reaches beyondthe known.

Joining Relativity means becoming part of something where autonomy ownership and impact exist at every level. Here youre not just executing tasks; youre solving problems that havent been solved before helping develop a rocket a factory and a business from the ground up. Whether youre in propulsion manufacturing software avionics or a corporate function youll 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 were writing together. Nowis a unique moment in time where its early enough to leave your mark on the product the process andthe culture but far enough along that Terran R is tangible and picking up momentum. The mostmeaningful work of your career is waiting. Join us.

About the Team:

The Factory Test team designs builds and operates the infrastructure needed to test nearly every part of Terran R right here at our headquarters in Long Beach CA. This centralized approach provides engineers and technicians with exposure to the entire product lifecycle across a wide range of part sizes and complexities. The scope and scale are significant with test stands capable of handling millions of pounds of force. Team members lead multiple projects in parallel avoiding silos and gaining broad technical experience without needing a background in aerospace. With high-impact campaigns ahead including thrust structure and stage 2 testing now is the time to join. You wont just execute but youll help shape and scale the test infrastructure required to meet the demands of a rapidly growing launch program.
