Staff Launch Structural 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 Launch team operates at the intersection of every major aspect of Terran R from stages and payloads to ground systems launch landing and refurbishment. The Cape is the only place where you see it all come together offering a level of exposure and responsibility unmatched elsewhere in the program. This is where first flights happen where history is built on top of history and where the scale of whats underway is unlike anything in modern aerospace. The mission stays the same but the work evolves with every milestone: from first launch to reuse high-cadence operations and beyond. If youre looking to define whats next in space launch and write a new playbook not just repeat whats already been done this is where it happens.
