Manager, Vehicle Software Infrastructure

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 Vehicle Software team develops the safety-critical software that runs on Terran R. The work spans a distributed real-time control system operating under extreme conditions like Mach 5 atmospheric flight with a deployment pace that allows you to see your code run on rocket engines daily. The team is building new system architecture from the ground up and just as importantly testing releasing and deploying it. You dont need an aerospace background: what matters is experience with high-reliability software for complex systems. This is a rare opportunity to shape the foundation of Terran Rs software stack while directly influencing performance reliability and flight success.

About the Role:

• Work closely with engineering leadership across the company ensuring the Vehicle Software Infrastructure tools and processes are enabling responsible engineers to move fast while also providing the right amount of engineering rigor to prevent downstream issues
• Focus on creating and rolling out new processes and tools while also streamlining and eliminating processes that are no longer effective or do not scale
• Manage a team of engineers who are helping maintain the existing infrastructure tools designing new features as we step into Stage Testing
• Mentor/coach VSI engineers while providing a second set of technical eyes ensuring processes are being leveraged to help burn down technical risk
• Look broadly at existing infrastructure and the interfaces between ground and vehicle software and recommend tools and process updates to increase robustness and tool performance

About You:

• Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering Software Engineering Aerospace Engineering or a related technical field
• Proven experience leading high-performing engineering teams delivering successful Software Infrastructure on complex cross-functional projects
• Strong communication and organizational skills capable of coordinating across engineering Ground Software integration and executive teams
• Experience driving operational improvements asset utilization and process standardization within technical laboratory environments

Nice to haves but not required:

• Prior experience scaling software infrastructure for rapidly growing aerospace programs
• Prior Space industry experience
