Fabricate and fit piping systems for the Terran R launch site, including process piping, utilities, valves, flanges, supports, and mechanical assemblies. Work with engineering, fabrication, and construction teams in shop and field environments. Perform measuring, cutting, grinding, drilling, and installation while following drawings, procedures, and safety requirements. Operate or learn to operate industrial equipment and safely perform physical work in active construction and aerospace environments.

Designs, develops, tests, and deploys safety-critical flight software for Relativity Space’s Terran R rocket. Responsibilities include architecting real-time systems, integrating guidance and control algorithms, processing vehicle sensor data, controlling equipment, developing telemetry infrastructure, supporting hardware and physics simulations, establishing engineering best practices, and mentoring junior engineers.

Develop, test, document, and deploy embedded Linux software and firmware for rocket avionics, network switch, and camera platforms. Responsibilities include hardware and platform bring-up, networking and video integration, debugging across kernels, drivers, hardware, and applications, validation, performance tuning, architecture improvements, and field troubleshooting. The role collaborates with hardware, systems, and platform teams to deliver reliable, high-performance software for safety-critical aerospace systems.

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.

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.

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.
