Fabricate, fit, and install critical industrial piping systems supporting the Terran R launch site, including process piping, utilities, and ground infrastructure. Interpret technical drawings, perform pipe preparation and alignment, troubleshoot installation issues, coordinate with other trades, mentor junior fitters, and safely operate industrial equipment while meeting quality and safety standards.

Design, build, and maintain Hardware-in-the-Loop testbeds for rocket avionics subsystems. Integrate avionics electronics, simulation hardware and software, and support equipment; derive platform requirements; develop verification and validation plans; execute testing and data reviews; maintain platform configuration; and support vehicle software releases and run-for-record activities.

Responsible for testing, integrating, and operating electronics PCBAs, integrated electronics systems, and vehicle systems. Designs experiments, develops custom test hardware, writes test software, and applies electronics, software, data acquisition, and control systems fundamentals to avionics and rocket vehicle testing.

Develop and deploy full-stack applications supporting purchasing, manufacturing planning, scheduling, test-data analysis, and factory operations. Lead the software development lifecycle, collaborate with non-software stakeholders to define requirements, apply agile and continuous delivery practices, solve complex problems, and mentor engineers. The role involves building scalable platforms across front-end, services, analytics, industrial automation, and AI capabilities.

Design, test, analyze, and manage custom avionics electronics for the Terran R launch vehicle across the full lifecycle, from concept and board bring-up through verification, qualification, production, integration, and vehicle operations. Collaborate with mechanical, thermal, electrical, software, propulsion, GNC, fluids, and stage engineering teams to deliver reliable, manufacturable, mission-critical hardware on schedule.

Coordinate phone, video, and onsite interviews; deliver a strong candidate experience; arrange candidate travel and reconcile expenses; support recruiting process improvements, special projects, employer branding, networking events, and career fairs. Partner with recruiters and hiring managers while managing multiple priorities, communicating professionally, and working effectively onsite and independently.

Support daily facility operations, preventive maintenance, and repairs across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, fire life safety, fleet, and general building systems. Respond to work orders, conduct inspections, maintain CMMS records, coordinate vendors/contractors, and assist stakeholders. Provide after-hours emergency/on-call support and follow safety/OSHA procedures.

Build and commission fluid, mechanical, and electrical test systems; author and optimize test procedures and sequences; identify hazards and implement mitigations; mentor production technicians; and plan and execute development, qualification, and acceptance test campaigns with Engineering.

The role involves owning mechanized assemblies, driving assembly and testing efforts, supporting work center development, and mentoring manufacturing engineers at Relativity Space.

Own mechanized assemblies from design release through test and integration for the Terran R vehicle. Develop build/test flows, mBOMs, work orders, tooling, and shop processes; support shop floor, resolve manufacturing discrepancies, lead root cause analysis and corrective actions, and mentor other manufacturing engineers.

Lead design, commissioning, and improvement of propulsion test assets and systems. Author and execute test procedures, analyze component test data, standardize operational requirements for safety and repeatability, and manage projects to advance test capabilities from development into high-volume production.

Manage vendor onboarding and vendor data, process and approve invoices, execute payments, perform month-end reconciliations, resolve discrepancies, maintain vendor communications and systems, update SOPs, and support process improvements and onboarding training.

Leads the vehicle fluids product team responsible for Terran R’s fluid system architecture, requirements, integration, testing, operations, and flight readiness. Manages engineers, defines interfaces with propulsion, structures, GNC, and avionics teams, guides thermofluids analysis and hardware design, establishes qualification and acceptance testing, reviews operational data, and mentors technical owners. The role requires aerospace vehicle lifecycle experience, fluid system and propulsion expertise, and technical leadership across complex hardware programs.

Provides strategic legal counsel for buy-side commercial transactions and disputes. Structures, drafts, and negotiates agreements covering technology development, manufacturing, commodities, rocket components, and capital equipment purchases and leases. Advises executives on commercial terms, risk allocation, and financial implications; develops scalable contract negotiation standards and playbooks; and manages post-contract disputes. The role also leads cross-functional initiatives and supports the growth of the contract management function.

Develop and implement vehicle fluid hardware for the Terran R launch vehicle. Responsibilities include creating manufacturing processes and tooling, supporting design-for-manufacturing initiatives, coordinating hardware testing, reviewing test data, investigating failures, implementing corrective actions, and maintaining build and test schedules. The role requires close collaboration with design, analysis, production, and propulsion teams, along with hands-on hardware assembly and integration.

Provide strategic legal counsel for buy-side commercial transactions and disputes, lead negotiation of technology, manufacturing, parts, commodities, and capex agreements. Develop scalable contracting standards, manage post-execution risks and disputes, and partner cross-functionally to align commercial, financial, and legal objectives.

Lead the industrialization of GMAW additive welding technologies for aerospace flight hardware. Own the transition from development to production by defining process architecture, controls, qualification strategies, manufacturing readiness, and data-driven process control. Serve as the technical authority for additive welding, guide technology maturation and integration, and influence cross-functional teams to improve production capability, quality, reliability, automation, and scalability.

Performs and develops ultrasonic and NDE inspection techniques for complex aerospace hardware. Evaluates digital UT and PAUT data against quality and acceptance criteria, conducts feasibility studies and qualification plans, and documents part-specific inspection procedures. Requires Level II or III UT certification, at least five years of NDE experience, aerospace or regulated-industry experience, drawing interpretation skills, and familiarity with Microsoft Office. On-site work requires passing a government-administered background check for clearance.
