Staff Robotics Automation & Controls 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 Tooling and Factory Automation team sits at the intersection of design manufacturing and automation making everything from large-scale structural fixtures to small tools that directly enable Terran Rs production. As a design group embedded within the manufacturing organization we dig deep into the needs of our internal partners to understand root problems propose solutions and deliver hardware to help build faster scale smarter and work better. The team is also at the forefront of Relativitys growing factory automation efforts an increasingly critical part of scaling production of Terran R at existing and future facilities. Youll have the autonomy to make decisions field solutions and see them in action on the factory floor. Ultimately youre not just designing tools or automated processes; youre defining how rockets and factories get built.

About the Role:

As a Factory Automation & Controls Engineer you will be responsible for contributing to the technical leadership of a growing team that is dedicated to building and expanding factory automation within the manufacturing projects you work on will provide solutions across the factory ranging from quick turn interim development setups to large permanent infrastructure. You will work in collaboration with mechanical manufacturing and design engineers to develop solutions tailored to a broad range of applications and manufacturing processes. Once your hardware is built you will also own implementation working closely with technicians operators and end users - including writing and debugging control software.

Your projects will span a variety of construction methods sizes and applications. These could include anything from simple data displays to large multi axis motion control equipment. The kinds of projects you will work on may include:

• Robotic-based welding fabrication and inspection equipment
• Large scale multi-axis tooling systems
• Architecting factory automation solutions to improve speed quality reliability and efficiency in the manufacturing process

About You:

• Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering Electrical Engineering Mechatronics Computer Engineering or a related field
• 12 experience with programming Fanuc Kuka or similar robotics control systems with motion planning task allocation and synchronization algorithms for multi-robot systems
• Experience writing (IEC 61131) developing activating and troubleshooting PLCs (Beckhoff Siemens AB Rockwell)
• Demonstrated ability to design and implement industrial safety systems including risk assessments job hazard analysis and programming safety PLCs
• Demonstrated ability to identify and mitigate technical risks in complex systems
• Experience producing exceptional electrical and pneumatics schematics and work instructions

Nice to haves but not required:

• Proficiency with communications protocols such as but not limited to EtherCAT OPCUA MQTT ProfiNET Ethernet IP and CANbus.
• Knowledge of robotic weld systems: understanding of robotic welding systems and processes including programming weld paths optimizing parameters and ensuring weld quality. Experience with weld seam tracking through arc voltage control vision or line scanner.
• Experience with Zuken E3
• Proficiency with Offline Robotic Programming software such as Fanuc RoboGuide WorkVisual or RoboDK
