Senior Laser Tracker Operator, Second Shift

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 Stage Manufacturing team turns design into reality owning the build of Terran Rs primary structures. This isnt about turning the same bolt every day; its about building the systems to build the rocket. Engineers and technicians work side by side with deep collaboration and real-time feedback to shape how we build better and faster. With a manifest and a launch date its up to the team to deliver on Terran R: solving challenges in real time optimizing for scale and constantly improving processes. As the vehicle evolves so will the factory with opportunities to apply automation machine learning and advanced technologies. What we build here sets the blueprint for the future of scaled launch.
