Job Summary

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 Avionics team is responsible for the full lifecycle of Terran Rs nervous system designing building testing installing and operating the hardware that connects and controls every major electrical system on the vehicle and ground. The teams structure intentionally combines avionics design manufacturing and test to enable rapid iteration and feedback loops. Engineers are deeply embedded into other functions within Relativity working closely with propulsion GNC fluids and stage engineering teams to ensure seamless integration and operation. Now is a unique time to join: youll get to help shape Terran Rs fundamental avionics architecture and be given a high degree of ownership on components that will fly.

About the Role:

We are seeking a Senior Ground Support Equipment (GSE) Engineer with strong experience in designing building and deploying Ground Support Equipment (GSE) racks and related systems that interface directly with flight this role youll lead the development of robust electrical and mechanical systems that support vehicle test integration and launch in challenging environments. Youll work cross-functionally with avionics propulsion structures test and software teams to ensure our EGSE is reliable flexible and safe. This position is ideal for someone who thrives on high ownership fast iteration and seeing their systems go from concept to launchpad.

As a Senior Avionics Ground Support Equipment (GSE) Engineer you will:

Lead the design development integration and build of critical ground systems that support engine test vehicle integration and test and launch operations
Collaborate cross-functionally with propulsion avionics software test and operations teams to deliver robust scalable systems on tight timelines
